The views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations. 3R Policy in Solid Waste Management by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) Solid Waste Management consists of three steps as follows: 1. Waste Minimization and Waste Separation 2. Waste Collection and Transportation 3. Waste Treatment and Disposal Waste Minimization and Waste Separation The first step to decrease waste begins at home. To minimize waste and promote waste separation, the BMA has launched the 3R campaign (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) in many areas such as schools, institutions, organizations, and companies to raise environmental awareness and promote a clean and sanitary Bangkok. Specifically, the BMA has highlighted the importance of the “recycle” process as a vital mechanism in waste minimization and has begun some pilot activities as a model for the community, for example: In the past, the business about recycling packages has been rapidly developed which help sorting and recycling the waste up to 26% and brings them back to reproduce by junk shop, truck that buy second hand goods and recycle goods, junk collectors, and sorting waste workers. However, there still is about 10% of the recycle waste that still in the Waste Disposal Center.

The series serves to document activities to build community resilience in five Asian countries in which ADPc has worked in recent years: Bhutan, Lao PDr, the Maldives, Mongolia and Thailand. risk reduction and preparedness efforts which ADPc helps carry out at the community level are a crucial component of strengthening individual and collective resilience to disasters and have played an important role in creating a more secure and disaster- resilient Asia. As we begin the post-2015 era under the guidance of the sendai framework for disaster risk reduction, it is particularly pertinent to take stock of the successes and challenges encountered as part of past activities, including those associated with the Hyogo framework for Action. By reviewing the activities and implementation experience in each of these national contexts we can consider the impact our efforts have had thus far. Importantly, this will allow us to identify the key lessons upon which we can base our future endeavors not only in the countries featured as part of this series but across the region. fittingly, the series begins with a focus on Thailand where our organization has comprehensive experience of working alongside a range of partners on community- based disaster risk reduction. We hope this publication and the wider series can provide a valuable resource in guiding ADPc’s ongoing efforts to empower communities and strengthen resilience throughout Asia.
