Industrial development also increases the production of industrial waste. Unfortunately, Thailand’s capacity to deal with industrial waste is very limited (there are only two plants in the country equipped to handle hazardous wastes). It is therefore of no small concern that hazardous waste production has increased from 1.01 million tonnes per year in 1994 to 1.80 million tonnes per year in 2003. No more than 25 percent of all hazardous waste is generated in communities in Thailand; the rest is industrial waste (PCD, 2003). The majority of this waste is produced by the electronics industry, the automotive parts industry, and the chemical industry.
