Thailand’s Pollution Control Department has traced the industrial waste, found in a confiscated truck, to a waste recycling plant in Ayutthaya province, according to Pitaya Pramotvoraphan, deputy director-general of the department.

 

The truck, still loaded with industrial waste, was impounded at the Song Khon Tambon Administration Organisation (TAO) in Saraburi, after it was caught discharging some of the waste onto land of the Kaeng Khoi industrial estate in Saraburi.

 

On February 12th, a pickup truck was seen parked next the impounded truck, allegedly to transfer the waste onto the pickup, which belongs to the Aek U Thai recycling company in Ayutthaya, said Pitaya, adding that the company was already suspected of being linked to industrial waste found dumped in a warehouse in Phachi district on February 27th.

But at the same time make facilities/amenities available for the majority who want to do the right thing.

Close the company down and jail the owner.
