3.4.2 Data collection for MFA Most of secondary data were collected to analyze the material flow of plastic in Thailand, and the information from interviews and field observations were least used than the secondary data. The secondary data for MFA were from the reports of organizations, researches, websites, books, and newspaper. The available data should report the numbers of each flow in 2010. During the data collection phase, the required background data for the material flow analysis was clarified to improve the actual plastic flow in Thailand. The material flow of plastic in Thailand was proposed following the review of existing data which are the key processes and flows in the system boundary. Secondary data were collected from the ministries, government departments, authorities, and person of concern having roles and responsibilities with regard to plastic waste management in the city and plastic waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. The secondary data for MFA were from: - Pollution Control Department (PCD) - Department of Industry Work (DIW) - Department of Public Cleansing, Solid Waste Disposal Division - Petroleum Institute of Thailand (PTIT) - Plastic Institute of Thailand (PIT) - Thai Plastic Industries Association (TPIA) - Thai Plastics Foam Recycling Industries Association (TPFRIA) - The Office of Industrial Economics (OIE) - Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) - The Custom Department - The Plastic Intelligence Unit Website (PIU) Moreover, the primary data for MFA were collected by field observation at waste shops, plastic recycling factories, the cement factories, and oil recovery plant. The details of needed information for MFA of plastic in Thailand are shown in Table 3.1.
