On December 16th, 2025, the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand released a notification designating plastic scraps under the custom code 39.15 as goods prohibited from being imported into the kingdom.

We, the undersigned civil society working to end plastic pollution in Thailand, commend the Thai government for its strong stance on this important matter.
