Reducing single-use plastic in Thailand’s street food markets
Developed in collaboration with the Mekong Institute, these guidelines will help reduce the environmental impact of street food vending operations by minimising single-use plastics, promoting the adoption of reusable and environmentally friendly alternatives, and enhancing waste management practices within street food vending complexes.
The recommendations are based on the result of local customer and vendor surveys, assessments of street food market operating procedures, and two policy workshops with market vendors, market managers, and public authorities in Khon Kaen, Thailand.
These guidelines were developed as part of the project Upstream single-use plastics reduction solutions for Khon Kaen’s street food complexes, funded by the Norwegian Retailer’s Environment Fund (NREF). The project is implemented by the Mekong Institute and ECOS.
