💨 Abstract

Phuket, Thailand's largest tourist island, is struggling with increasing waste due to rapid development. Over 1,000 tonnes of waste are collected daily, with a landfill growing so large it affects residents' quality of life. Authorities aim to cut waste by 15% in six months and expand the landfill, but experts stress the need for waste reduction and separation for long-term sustainability.
