Plastic plans fail as pandemic deliveries prevail
Single-use plastic is making a comeback, as Thais order takeout and delivery in soaring volumes because of the pandemic.
This was supposed to be the year Thailand started to phase out single-use plastic bags, in line with the government’s plastic waste reduction roadmap. At the start of 2020, major retailers agreed to stop offering plastic bags, a policy that was supposed to be extended to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
