The Industry Ministry is amending the Factory Act and the industrial waste law, which carry fines of up to 200,000 baht from 40-50 years ago. It plans to raise penalties to the tens of millions, link enforcement to financial trails, and allow seizure of owners' assets. For factories, check now that industrial waste (oils, chemicals, solar panels, batteries) goes through licensed disposal, with paperwork kept. The ministry will also help SMEs in auto parts shift toward a multi-pathway (ICE, hybrid, EV) supply chain, with SME Bank funding, and CBAM pressure on exporters is coming. No dates for the amendments were given.
