Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok Attended a lecture on the topic “Overview of waste management in Bangkok” at the press conference to launch the E-Waste HACK BKK 2024 project organized by True Corporation Public Company Limited Group.
Under cooperation with the Swedish Embassy Based in Thailand BMA. Faculty of Engineering King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang and SK Test Thailand Company Limited at True Tower (Ratchadaphisek), Huai Khwang District.
Governor of Bangkok Discussing garbage in general in Bangkok Before COVID-19, there were about 10,000 tons, but now it has decreased to 8,775 tons by promoting waste separation. Just separate wet waste from other types of waste. Anything left over can be recycled. Just separating wet waste can reduce waste by up to 1,000 tons/day. BMA. has implemented various waste management projects, including:
Installing an E-Waste No.pouring for the Bangkok Zero Waste Project by separating wet waste from general waste. This waste can be used to make fertilizer. Setting up a drinking water service point at Sanam Luang or Benjakitti Park can reduce up to 500,000 plastic bottles, which in the future will be increased to 200 locations throughout Bangkok. and the use of GPS systems to analyze garbage collection by BMA. garbage collection trucks.
Including creating cooperation with various agencies to reduce garbage in the system, such as collecting garbage in the Chao Phraya River by Ocean Clean Up’s Interceptor machine. In addition, we have also taken steps to restore the garbage pit area at the On Nut Waste Disposal Center, Prawet District, to a colored area. Green in the form of an ecological forest by planting 45,000 trees
Including setting a goal to reduce landfills from 65% to 21%, separating 51% into fertilizer and 28% from incineration. Ultimately, solving the waste problem is not only about technology, but lies in the Social Contract or the commitment of society. To live together, we must start with “people” rather than “technology”. How can we get people to cooperate in separating waste at source, middle, and destination? I believe that if everyone works together, it will help Bangkok.
