The Rayong Provincial Court ordered the Win Process Company to pay 1.7 billion baht in compensation today, for the rehabilitation of the environment damaged by industrial waste leaked from the company’s storage facility since 2011.

 

The civil lawsuit was brought against Win Process by the Pollution Control Department (PCD), after it discovered that the company had breached the law by not recycling hazardous waste, but had discharged the waste into the environment instead, damaging farmland and contaminating natural watercourses.

 


 

 

 

According to the PCD, the hazardous waste was just kept at the Win Process facility in Village 4 in Bang But sub-district of Ban Khai district of Rayong. Some of the waste was even buried in and around the company’s compound.
