Mr. Apiphob Phuengchanchaikul, Vice President, Plastic Industry Group Federation of Thai Industries (S.A.T.) revealed that The Plastics Industry Group joins with business organizations. Plastic Institute and other organizations To solve the problem of waste and plastic sustainably, PPP Plastic still insists on proposing to the government to issue legal enforcement measures to allow large department stores and stores that are in the government's pilot tax system to sell plastic bags to visitors. Service instead of giving away for free They propose to charge plastic bags at 2 baht per bag as before.
Although the latest policy of Mr. Warawut Silpa-archa, Minister of Natural Buy Bulk SMS Service Resources and Environment (RTA) will propose to the Cabinet (Cabinet) an announcement to cancel the distribution of plastic bags to customers 100%, which will begin as a pilot with retail and wholesale business operators. and convenience stores from 43 large chains From 1 January 2020 “The policy of the Royal Thai Army is unlikely to be enforced. But in the case where it is proposed to increase the bag fee by 2 baht per bag There has been a detailed study and foreign countries have used this method along with proper waste management, which can reduce the amount of waste immediately,” Mr. Apiphob said.
However, if the government issues a cabinet resolution to cancel the use of plastic bags immediately, the problem is whether to enforce the whole thing or just some part. At the same time, will the hundreds of plastic bag factories in Thailand cause problems as well? And the most important thing is to push Thai people to turn to cloth bags and paper bags, which are more expensive or not. Moreover, we have to admit that Thai people still don't have many other options. At the same time, banning one thing and replacing it with another does not mean reducing the amount of waste and solving environmental pollution without a good management system. Because cloth bags and paper bags all go through a production process that has an impact on the environment.
