  • The report examines the informal waste economy in Bangkok, highlighting that while waste pickers are essential for reducing plastic leakage and supporting the circular economy, they face precarious conditions, including incomes below the minimum wage, health hazards, and social discrimination. Based on surveys of 34 workers, it identifies specific vulnerabilities for women, migrants, and the elderly, and recommends source-segregation legislation and market incentives for low-value plastics to improve livelihoods.
