Assumption and Calculation<br />

The amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial plastic wastes is burnt <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dustrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

Department <strong>of</strong> Industrial Works (2013), 90-95% <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial plastic wastes is burnt <strong>in</strong> the<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration and cement kiln. The assumption is 95.6% <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial plastic waste (use<br />

as fuels) is burnt <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration to recovery energy. Us<strong>in</strong>g 95.6% <strong>of</strong> combusted<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustrial waste multiply<strong>in</strong>g by the amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial waste generation (1,831,750 tonnes) is<br />

the calculation method <strong>of</strong> this waste flow. Thus, 1,602,973 tonnes/year was shown <strong>in</strong> the<br />

material flow <strong>of</strong> plastics. The details <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial plastic waste management <strong>in</strong> 2006-2010 are<br />

shown <strong>in</strong> Table D-3.<br />

The assumption is 50% <strong>of</strong> total <strong>in</strong>dustrial plastic waste for <strong>in</strong>dustrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration (1,602,973<br />

tonnes) <strong>of</strong> the manufactur<strong>in</strong>g process was burnt <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dustrial <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>erators.<br />

The amount <strong>of</strong> plastic products was stocked <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustry was 24,981 tonnes <strong>in</strong> 2010. This amount<br />

was reported by the Office <strong>of</strong> Industrial Economics (OIE). The estimation <strong>of</strong> stocked products <strong>in</strong><br />

consumption process was done and shown <strong>in</strong> Table D-1. The total stocked products was<br />

1,527,845 tonnes <strong>in</strong> 2010. The summary <strong>of</strong> two stocked products was 1,552,826 tonnes <strong>in</strong> 2010.<br />

From, Stock = <strong>in</strong>put <strong>of</strong> process - output <strong>of</strong> process<br />

Thus, Stock = (2,568,123 + 463,344 + 421,290 - 20,616 - 2,041,032-515,412-3,354-801,487-<br />

77,500) =-6,644 tonnes/year<br />

This amount is m<strong>in</strong>us because there was a domestic stock <strong>of</strong> plastic products <strong>in</strong> country.<br />

Industrial sector and Thai people may consume more amount <strong>of</strong> plastic products than amount <strong>of</strong><br />

plastic productions.
