"About two years ago, Vinyou Jiaramankong learned his neighborhood was changing. Next to the 40-year-old’s neat house in the southern suburbs of Bangkok, a storage yard was being converted into a plastic recycling factory. Shielded by high walls that extended directly to the edge of Jiaramankong’s property, the facility would take in used plastic, melt it down, and run the resulting mixture through an extruder. After being chopped into pellets, the recycled plastic would be used to package new products. In its general outlines the process sounds harmless, even virtuous, putting plastic waste to good use instead of sending it to one of Thailand’s many landfills."
