1. Executive Summary
Waste management and environment protection are increasingly critical issues in Thailand
nowadays. The Government of Thailand adopted Nation Waste Management Master Plan (2016-2021)
with detailed “Thailand Zero Waste 2016-2017” Action Plan to reduce waste. However, the impact of
the policy across various segments and locations, including at schools, has gone unnoticeable. While
there are various reasons that can be attributed to ineffective implementation of waste reduction policy
at schools in Thailand, some of the key factors are family habits, lack of space to segregate, ineffective
tools and methods to educate children and raise awareness about good waste management practices.

The Little Hand Project aims to contribute to waste management and environment protection in
Thailand by actively participating in the implementation of Thailand Waste Management Master Plan
(2006 - 2021) and Waste Reduction and Recycling Action Plan (2017 - 2018) on the local level. The
Little Hands will introduce a comprehensive model with engaging activities to instill the mindset of
protecting the environment among Tessaban 3 Samakkeewittyakarn School students. Essentially, in long
term, this initiative will operate as a replicable mechanism to change mindset of not only children in
local schools but also the whole social circle around children (school teachers and staff members,
parents, friends, etc...) throughout Thailand about protecting environment via practicing experiential
waste recycling activities.

The main concept of the Little Hands Project is to raise awareness and good waste management
practices aligning with 3Rs (Reduce - Reuse - Recycle) to multi-level programs via bottom up approach,
towards building a sustainable community. This project embraces public involvement to bridge the gap
of practicing waste management in schools and at home. In this Project, children will be the focal point
to promote environmental-oriented citizenship.

The Little Hands will be carried out in four main phases. In the first phase, The Little Hands will
start with 20 Grade 3 of Tessaban 3 Samakkeewittyakarn School, and most activities at the school will
be integrated to students home. In the second phase, more activities will run at the school, besides
community activities.

From the third phase onward, The Little Hands will collaborate with local government for higher
level of public engagement such as 3R Campaign, Bell Mark-inspired incentive system, local Waste
Management Day and so on. In the final phase, collaboration with national government will be initiated

2
for an incentive system for shoppers to reuse shopping bags, host national Waste Management Day’s
activities as part of International Earth Day, as well as launching Local Government Award for waste
management initiatives.

By putting children as the focal point in the process of creating environment-oriented mindset,
The Little Hands intends to grow as a national movement in an effort to improve waste management and
environment protection in Thailand within the next five years. Despite challenges within the
implementation of the national waste management policy across different segments and locations, the
project is an attempt to encourage schools to conform to the national policy with the help of strong
Parent Teacher Association’s social ties and good relationship between local governments and schools
in Thailand.

3. Introduction

3.1. Overview of Group Study Process

Team S.E.A.R adopted back casting approach to develop group projects by going through six
main steps as follows:
(1) Developing concept of an ideal sustainable community.
(2) Analyzing the gap between the ideal community and current situation in each of group
member’s community.
(3) Generating ideas and solutions to fill that gap.
(4) Selecting project based on certain criterion.
(5) Refining the selected project.
(6) Making a concrete action plan to carry out the project.

3.2. Definition of Sustainable Community

During group study sessions, Team S.E.A.R developed a concept of an ideal sustainable
community that represent group’s consensus view, which is defined as follows:
Sustainable community
“Sustainable community is a community that is capable of balancing economic,
environmental and societal activities to enhance the continuity and longevity of its citizen without
compromising the livelihood of the next generations. The sustainable community has the mentality
and necessary infrastructure to adapt with current and future innovation and challenges.”

3.3. S.E.A.R Sustainable Community Model

Team S.E.A.R aggregated key concepts from every seminar lecture and field trip to develop
S.E.A.R Sustainable Community as an ideal sustainable community model. Team S.E.A.R’s ideal model
consists of three main components: Sustainable Mentality, Sustainable Infrastructure and Sustainable
Livelihood: (See Diagram in Annex 3)

5
Sustainable Mentality
A sustainable community is perceived to ideally promote a sense of belonging (through
community interaction and solidarity), culture and tradition preservation, volunteerism and community
initiatives, risk mitigation, social inclusivity, vision and innovations among its citizen.
Sustainable Infrastructure
A sustainable community is also perceived to ideally ensure sustainable tangible and intangible
infrastructure for the citizen. In respect to tangible infrastructure, a sustainable community should be
equipped with strong mobility, transportation and telecommunication connectivity. This community
adopts sustainable approach in the construction of buildings, utilities, services, green (public and
private) spaces, green (renewable and clean) energy. This community also adopts 3Rs (Reduce – Reuse
– Recycle) side to side with its waste management system.
Speaking of intangible infrastructure, the community should enable teachers and students to
continuously improve and take up new skills.
Sustainable Livelihood
In order to embrace sustainable livelihood for the citizen, the community should ensure
democracy and political stability, common ownership, legitimate human rights and freedom of speech
for all citizens, making sure that voices from all segment of the society, particularly minority groups are
equally being heard.
Across 3 main components of the S.E.A.R Sustainable model, the community should empower
its citizen through active collaborative participation from all stakeholders including, but not limited to
Citizen, Public (NGOs, NPOs and institutions alike) and Government.
The last but not the least, S.E.A.R Sustainable Community model requires resilience disaster risk
reduction (DRR) capacity to counter natural disasters and man-made threats.

4. Background Information

4.1. Overall background information about Thailand

The Kingdom of Thailand is a Southeast Asian country with a total land size of 513,115 sq.km.
Thailand is surrounded by four neighboring countries such as Lao PDR, Cambodia, Myanmar and
Malaysia. The capital of Thailand is Bangkok.

Map of Thailand
Figure 1 Map of Thailand

According to the latest statistics from The World Population Review in 2018, Thailand has over
69 million (Female 51.21% VS Male 48.73%) inhabitants spreading across six regions: the Northeast,
the North, the Central West and, East Region, and the South. The population of age 0-14 years covers
nearly 17% of whole population. The Population Pyramid of Thailand is shown below:

7
 Figure 2 Population Pyramid of Thailand 2018 (separated by age)
Thailand’s education system is subject to the responsibility of four government agencies: the
Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of University Affairs (MUA), the Ministry of Interior
(MOI), and the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). Public and private schools in Thailand conform
government’s guidelines in terms of education scope and content. There are three levels of formal
education:
 Primary education (from grade 1 - 6);
 Lower secondary education (grade 7 - 9), and
 Upper secondary education (grade 10 – 12).

4.2. Current Waste Management Situation in Thailand

Despite the fact that Internations Organization’s top expat destination survey in 2015 places
Thailand on number 7 for its beautiful landscape and resources, good food and hospitality, it is on
number 55 out of 157 countries around the world (Bertelsmann Stiftung and Sustainable Development
Solutions Network 2017) in terms of SDG index of 2017.

8
 Pollution remains a main issue for Thailand government. According to The New Public 2015, in
terms of water pollution, Thailand ranked number 9 among top ocean polluters in the world. This
ranking estimated size of waste, particularly plastic, thrown in the ocean every year. Then, United
National Ocean Conference claims Thailand contributes to 50,000 tons of solid waste in the sea each
year (UNOC 2018). In addition, based on 2017 statistic of The Waste Incineration Research Center, the
amount solid waste production in Thailand was more than 27 million tons per year. There was 9.57
million tons (35%) of waste that was properly disposed and about 5.81 million tons (21%) waste reused
(The Waste Incineration Research Center 2017).
Solid waste in Thailand typically consists of organic waste 46%, paper and cardboard 17%,
plastic 10%, glass 5%, metal 4% and other 18% (Source: “Reduce” None-Waste Segregation in
Thailand, https://www.slideshare.net/NoonNatacha/waste-separation-66415660)

Figure 3: Solid Waste in Thailand 2016

In relation to SDG Goal 12 (“responsible consumption and production is most common

challenge among ASEAN Countries”), Thai government needs to address inefficient municipal solid
waste management and improper waste water treatment. Root causes of this issues, particularly
inefficient waste management, are as follow:

9
 Source: “Reduce” None-Waste Segregation in Thailand

Furthermore, the negative impact of unsegregated waste are elaborated in the table:

Environment People

Water pollution: solid waste can lead to Nuisance and Health risk and its impacts. It
Leachate / wastewater, Surface water and
can spread diseases by different vectors
underground water contamination. This can
affect ecosystems in the water and ocean.

Soil pollution: It can limit land utilization and

damages the ecology. Dangerous chemicals in
soil could harm human, animal and plants.

Air pollution: waste odor in the air pollutes

surrounding areas.
(Source: Supat Wangwongwatana 2009; Thaniya Kaosol 2009)

To solve the problem, Thai government has established some relevant national frameworks,
including the 20-Year Pollution Management Strategy, Pollution Management Plan 2017-2021, and
Master Plan on Waste Management 2016-2021. These policies and plans are created to promote 3Rs
(Reduce/ Reuse and Recycle), raise awareness in public space, encourage the establishment of central
solid waste disposal facilities with appropriate technology and enforce law.

10
 Moreover, Thai government, in collaboration with various organizations and related
stakeholders, took initiative by creating and implementing many projects and activities, such as
community and industrial 3Rs waste management, plastic waste management, E-Waste management,
Household Hazardous Waste, etc (PCD 2016).
The Little Hands has the potential contribution towards policy implementation. Based on our gap
analysis, creative solutions to promote waste management need to be adopted.

4.3. Site Location

The selected site for project is located in Ubon Ratchathani (‘Ubon’), one of northeastern
provinces of Thailand and the country's easternmost. Ubon is the one of the largest provinces (total area
15.744 Km2) in Thailand.

Figure 4 Map of Ubon Ratchatani

Ubon Ratchathani is located in the area called Khorat Basin, with elevation level of about 120-
140 meters above sea level (395-460 feet). A sloping plateau to the east, the river is the border with the
province of Laos is the Chi River flows into the joints with the river which flows through the province
from west to east and then flows into the Mekong River.

4.4. Overview Information of Selected School

Tessaban 3 Samakkeewittayakarn School is located in the province’s capital under the
Department of Local Administration, Ministry of Interior (Thailand). The school provides basic

11
education in kindergarten, elementary school, lower and upper secondary schools. Total number of
students in the elementary school is 151 students.

Figure 5 Current situation at school

12
 To adopt National Waste Management Master Plan 2016-2021 of Pollution Control Department
(PCD), many schools in Ubon Ratchatani had small campaigns to encourage waste reduction. However,
the tools are considered ineffective. Only verbal teaching and sign boards were used to promote waste
management in school. For an effective waste separation for recycle purpose, schools could establish
proper disposal methods and different type of garbage (combustible, incombustible, bottle and cans,
oversized garbage). However, very few of elementary school in Ubon Ratchatani has such a proper
facilities and friendly environment atmosphere. The current situations reflect the low awareness on
waste management in Thai Schools especially in provincial area.

Available Resources

Local Government
 Actively cooperates with the national government and work closely with the school.
Parent-Teacher Association
 Strong social ties between parents and teachers.

13
4.5. Challenges

At school, kids are educated and allowed to segregate the waste. However, learning is not
implemented at home due to several reasons. One of the reasons seems to be family habit. It is assumed
that low awareness on waste pollution issue comes from the fact that parents do not to have the habit of
the waste segregation.
To create a complete circle of learning for kids, execution team aims to bridging the gap of waste
management practice at school and home.

5. Project’s Goal, Objectives and Concept

- Goal: The Little Hands aims to contribute to waste management and environment protection in
Thailand by actively participating in the implementation of Thailand Waste Management Master Plan
(2006 - 2021) and Waste Reduction and Recycling Action Plan (2017 - 2018) on the local level.
- Objectives:
+ Short-term objective: Building a mindset of protecting the environment among Tessaban 3
Samakkeewittayakarn school students through fun waste recycling activities.
+ Long-term objective: Operating an initiative that has replicable mechanism to change mindset of not
only children in local schools but also the whole social circle around children (school teachers, parents,
friends, etc…) throughout Thailand about protecting environment through practicing fun waste recycling
activities.
- Concept: The main idea of The Little Hands Project is to raise awareness and good practices aligning
with 3R (Reduce - Reuse - Recycle) to multilevel programs via bottom up approach, towards building a
sustainable community.
Essentially, in this project, children will be the focal point to promote environmental oriented
citizenship.

14
6. Project’s Purpose and Activities

As a contribution to waste management and environment protection in Thailand, The Little

Hands seeks to support the implementation of Thailand Waste Management Master Plan (2006 - 2021)
and Waste Reduction and Recycling Action Plan (2017 - 2018) on the local level. The overall goal will
be met by these following target indicators:
● Zero incombustible material removal activities
● A decrease in waste separation and collection cost
● A 100-percent proper household waste collected and disposed
● Reduction up to 50% in waste separation and collection time

For these purposes, the execution team will need to collaborate with Ministry of Natural Resources
and Environment Thailand, National Statistical Office of Thailand, Pollution Control Department of
Thailand, incineration companies, landfill operators and consulting firms.
In the long run, The Little Hands will also encourage other local government organizations to have
their own waste separation system.

15
7. Project Purpose

The Little Hands project’s purpose is to encourage Reuse, Reduce and Recycle practice with a
bottom-up approach towards building a sustainable community.
The project’s visioned sustainable community has Reuse, Reduce and Recycle practice in place
when there is a growing dependence on color-coded bins in public places and on public spaces, a
growing habit of using/taking as much as needed, growing dependence on reusable bags and reduced
amount of leftover food. At Tessaban 3 Samakkeewittayakarn School, amount of leftover food is
monitored before, during and after lunch time.

8. Project Activities

Activities will directly and indirectly reflect the expected outcome. The Little Hands’ experiential
learning activities take participation from the community, local government and national government
within short and long time frame. At Tessaban 3 Samakkeewittayakarn School, activities include, but
not limited to:
● Garbage scavenger hunt
● Tailored-to-children publications (e.g. infographics and comics)
● Field trips and hands-on experience
● Gamified waste competition
● Awareness talk
● Craftmaking workshop

10. Conclusion

S.E.A.R Team’s sustainable community is a community that is capable of balancing economic,

environmental and societal activities to enhance the continuity and longevity of its citizen without
compromising the livelihood of the next generations. The sustainable community has the mentality and
necessary infrastructure to adapt with current and future innovation and challenges.

18
 According to SDG Index and Dashboards Report 2017, developing countries like Cambodia,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam are having certain difficulties balancing between
economic activities, environmental and societal activities.
The Little Hands addresses current waste management and environment protection issues in
Thailand nowadays. According to S.E.A.R Team’s survey and United Nations Social Development
Network (UNSDN) data, this is also a critical issue that countries like Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam are facing (SDG#12 - Responsible consumption and production). With
this Project execution, S.E.A.R team seeks to contribute to waste management and environment
protection in Thailand by actively participating in the implementation of Thailand Waste Management
Master Plan (2006 - 2021) and Waste Reduction and Recycling Action Plan (2017 - 2018) on the local
level.
The Little Hands puts children as the focal point in the process of changing society’s mindset,
behavior about waste management and environment protection. With proper execution and adequate
supports, it is Execution Team’s vision to nurture and grow the Little Hands Project into a national
movement in an effort to improve waste management and environment protection in Thailand within the
next 5 years.
