Illegal recyclers run out of luck
Bangkok Post
|June 19, 2025
8,000 tonnes of waste hazard found
The Industry Ministry has dismantled an illegal “zero-dollar” recycling operation in Prachin Buri, uncovering more than 8,000 tonnes of hazardous and toxic waste during an inspection yesterday.
The business was found to have committed multiple violations, including unauthorised operations and illegal land leasing. Due to the scale and severity of the offences, the case is being referred to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) for classification as a special case. Industry Minister Mr Akanat said he had assigned Thitipas Chotdechachainun, head of the Ministerial Taskforce known as the “Sudsoi Team,” to lead the operation in coordination with the Department of Industrial Works (DIW), the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Division (NED), the Ecological Recovery Foundation, the Prachin Buri Provincial Industry Office, and other agencies.
