The Royal Thai Government has policy to ban the import of hazardous waste for final disposal and strictly control the import of hazardous waste for recovery i.e. the decision on “Ban to the import of used lead-acid batteries for either disposal or recovery” (1993) and the Decision on “Strictly control to the import of used plastic scarps for recovery” (1994).
Decision have been made to limit export of hazardous wastes and other wastes for final disposal (of PCBs) and recovery (of sludge from electronics factory).
