A-1: MFA Data Analysis<br />

Manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

This process consists <strong>of</strong> raw materials (materbatch), imported pellets, and recycled<br />

products which are <strong>in</strong>putted to this process. <strong>Plastic</strong> products are also produced from the<br />

plastic manufactur<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Parameter Calculation<br />

RMP The amount <strong>of</strong> thermoplastic masterbatch which is used to produce plastic products.<br />

Thermoplastic pellets consist <strong>of</strong> PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS/EPS, ABS/SAN, and others.<br />

This available data was presented <strong>in</strong> PTIT report. This report showed the amount <strong>of</strong> pellet<br />

production, consumption, import, and export <strong>in</strong> <strong>Thailand</strong>. In the material flow <strong>of</strong> plastic, the<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> plastic pellet consumption was used as a raw material to <strong>in</strong>put <strong>in</strong> the<br />

manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

RMS The amount <strong>of</strong> thermosett<strong>in</strong>g masterbatch which is used to produce plastic products.<br />

Thermosett<strong>in</strong>g plastic pellets <strong>in</strong>clude epoxy res<strong>in</strong>, polyester res<strong>in</strong>, phenolic res<strong>in</strong> (e.g.,<br />

phenol-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, and melam<strong>in</strong>e-formaldehyde), alkyd res<strong>in</strong>,<br />

styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polyimide res<strong>in</strong>, polyurethane res<strong>in</strong>, and silicone.<br />

This available data was presented <strong>in</strong> PTIT report. This report showed the amount <strong>of</strong> pellet<br />

production <strong>in</strong> the petrochemical <strong>in</strong>dustry <strong>in</strong> <strong>Thailand</strong>, 2009 and 2011. In the material flow <strong>of</strong><br />

plastic, the amount <strong>of</strong> thermosett<strong>in</strong>g pellet generation from petrochemical factories was used<br />

as a raw material to <strong>in</strong>put <strong>in</strong> the manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

IMP The amount <strong>of</strong> imported thermoplastic pellets which is used to produce plastic products <strong>in</strong><br />

the plastic manufactur<strong>in</strong>g. The available data were shown from two sources such as the<br />

Custom Department and Petroleum Institute <strong>of</strong> <strong>Thailand</strong> (PTIT).<br />

The amount <strong>of</strong> imported thermoplastic pellet means that amount <strong>of</strong> thermoplastic pellet<br />

which is imported from other countries. The number was shown <strong>in</strong> the Custom Department<br />

website. It was searched on the website by use the specific code <strong>of</strong> plastic pellets (HS-Code).<br />

The HS-code <strong>of</strong> thermoplastic pellets is <strong>in</strong> range <strong>of</strong> 3901-3908 and 3911-3914. Table A-10 <strong>in</strong><br />

Appendix A presents the details <strong>of</strong> HS-code <strong>of</strong> plastic pellet, product and waste.<br />
