The Industry Ministry has ordered a crackdown on illegal industrial waste dumping, focused on the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) and Prachin Buri. Inspectors will visit high-risk factories, rented warehouses and abandoned sites. Violations can lead to shutdown, criminal and civil charges, and waste-disposal costs passed to the offender. Waste-dumping and factory-law breaches will be treated as money-laundering predicate offences, allowing asset seizure. E-Manifest with GPS will track industrial waste trucks in real time. The ministry plans higher criminal penalties and fines. For factories and waste contractors, check that every waste handler is licensed and keep disposal records end to end. Report suspicions via hotline 1564.
