摘要：

Beverage carton waste is a poorly characterized waste stream in Thailand. In this paper, we present a 2013 beverage carton waste flows in Thailand which may serve as a baseline for future stocks, recycling initiatives, and policy recommendations. It was estimated that 250,214 (+/- 8.2%) tons of beverage carton waste was generated in 2013 in Thailand. Almost 98.14% of waste was the post-consumption used beverage carton from the municipal solid waste stream and the remaining 1.86% from the industrial sector. 72.28% was disposed of in the open environment and only 3.63% was recycled. Beverage carton collection in Thailand is a voluntary commitment by the private sector as there are no mandatory recycling regulations and programs for packaging waste management.
