Challenge, Electronic waste management, Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC)Abstract
This article aimed to conduct the study of the strategies, policies, plans, and laws related to electronic waste management (e-waste) in Thailand and the Eastern Economic Corridor in the provinces of Chachoengsao, Chonburi, and Rayong (EEC) since 2016, and to analyze situations, problems, obstacles, and impacts from the e-waste management in the areas, and then to address guidelines or measures to prevent and solve future problems of e-waste management in the three provinces in the EEC according to the conceptual framework of PSR (Pressure-State-Response). The study findings revealed that efficient and effective e-waste management should be in accordance with reverse logistics e-waste management. The measures and guidelines involve having one-stop service plans or policies on e-waste management, encouraging public and community participation from the use of electronic equipment till disposal of e-waste, increasing local administrative organizations (LAO) competitiveness in e-waste management, and developing e-waste database and innovative research. These measures are challenges and opportunities for e-waste management. Also, e-waste management policy, laws, and plans must be up to date and practical and all stakeholders i.e. government, private and people sectors in the EEC should pay more attention to e-waste management to reduce environmental and health impacts from improperly academically e-waste management.
