成人快手

The Southeast Asian country has witnessed a huge influx of electrical and electronic waste in recent years. Old mobile phones, computers, circuit boards and fridges are being shipped to the country and processed, often in unlicensed industrial sites.

We explore why this has happened, who is behind it, and find out what the Thai government is doing about it.

We join the Thai industry ministry on a raid of an unlicensed Chinese-owned recycling plant, and talk to a Thai farmer who says his cassava crop has been blighted by pollutants from an unlicensed smelter.

We also hear from Thais about their own electronics recycling habits.

Since this programme was first broadcast, the Chinese embassy in Thailand has responded to the 成人快手 request for comment with a statement saying: 鈥淐hina has always required overseas Chinese enterprises to abide by the laws of the host countries and operate in accordance with laws and regulations鈥�. It said China supports Thailand in its efforts to strengthen regulation and create 鈥渁 fair, stable and predictable investment and business environment鈥�.
