Thailand has been rated among the top plastic polluting countries in the world, which leads to serious environmental and economic issues. With the aid of our sponsor, Less Plastic Thailand, our team observed plastic waste habits, identified plastic waste sorting issues, and proposed and implemented methods to encourage plastic waste reduction and recycling in the Regent on the Park 2 Condominium. These methods were used to create guidelines to aid Less Plastic Thailand in improving plastic waste management in Thai condominiums.
