(February 28, 2025)— The American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand (AMCHAM) has engaged in discussions with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) regarding sustainable waste management and the enhancement of Thailand’s trade and investment ecosystem.
At the Suthat Room, Bangkok City Hall, Sao Chingcha, Phra Nakhon District, Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, Deputy Governor Sanon Wangsrangboon, and Adviser to Governor of Bangkok and Chief Sustainability Officer Pornphrom Vikitsreth welcomed a delegation from AMCHAM, a prominent international business association in Thailand.
The meeting focused on sustainable waste management practices and fostering collaboration to improve Thailand’s trade and investment environment.
Governor Chadchart expressed his delight at the discussions with the AMCHAM delegation, presenting various BMA initiatives and addressing queries on topics such as Bangkok’s municipal waste management, fee collection structures, and post-segregation waste handling for both recyclable and non-recyclable materials.
He highlighted the importance placed by tourists on the waste management practices of service providers in the tourism and hospitality sectors, which are striving for sustainable tourism, thereby driving efficiency in the tourism industry.
The conversation also encompassed PM2.5 dust management, public cooperation with work-from-home initiatives, the progress and objectives of various projects, and the BMA’s key future goals.
