For encouraging people to separate waste, PCD has developed proposal for separating and collecting system for different types of solid waste in order to support local administrative organizations and other related agencies to work in the same direction. This proposal will be submitted to the Pollution Control Committee  and the National Environment Board to call for supporting at the policy level and to select pilot areas to make a lesson learned on implementing of waste separation systems, and social rules that will lead to develop the regulations under the current laws.

In this regard, when local administrative organizations can separate waste efficiently, it will support local administrative organization to manage food waste easier at the final destination. Without proper food waste separation, it would be difficult to utilize other types of waste efficiently. Additionally, food waste in the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions in the community sector. Therefore, PCD and relevant agencies will support local administrative organization to have food waste management system at the final destination and promote and support businesses initiative that utilize food waste in the business to reduce the amount of waste sent for further disposal.
