More than 66,000 tonnes of non-recyclable plastics will be used to create 70 million liters of road-ready fuel in Thailand.

The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies revealed Thailand is the ideal location to construct and operate a plastics to road-ready fuel facility, calling it ,Project Thailand.
