This is interesting to say the least, the problem is that plastic waste has become a "Product" in Thailand and it is bought and sold as such. When there is a product and profit to be made, you get greed and corruption, although I am sure there is no corruption in Thailand. There is an organzation in Thailand that auction off the plastic to the highest bidders, so the price is never the same. The auctioned plastic is used to make more plastics, hence never really removing the plastic problem, just kicking it down the road to another generation to deal with. Thailand will never change and the same "families" (not referring to the big Family) will control everything until the bloody end.
