Tensions in the Middle East and risks surrounding transportation through the Strait of Hormuz are putting pressure on Thailand’s plastic raw material costs. Thailand currently produces only **47% of its domestic demand for light naphtha**, leaving the industry reliant on imports.
As a result, manufacturers are increasingly turning to **PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled Resin)** made from used plastics. Dow Thailand and SCGC aim to return more than **200,000 tonnes of used plastic into the system annually by 2030**, turning plastic waste into a valuable raw material while reducing reliance on imported materials and supporting Thailand’s circular economy.
