Thailand chemical recycling revenue (THB billion, 2024-2028)

~THB 18B base 2027

As of2024-2028 (modelled)·Sources8·Primary·Historical series (5 points)

Thai chemical-recycling revenue is modelled to step from approximately THB 0.7 billion in 2024 to THB 18 billion in the 2027 base case, with a THB 14-22 billion bull-to-bear range. The trajectory aggregates IRPC Rayong pyrolysis pilot at 1 kt per year (commissioned Q4 2024), SCG GO Green Chemicals Map Ta Phut at 12 kt per year (planned 2026 commissioning), PTTGC at 15 kt per year by 2027, Bangchak BSRC at 10 kt per year (FID Q1 2026) and the Indorama Ventures depolymerisation track at Nakhon Pathom plus Rayong. PCD Producer Responsibility Order effective Q1 2027 plus EU CBAM Phase 2 plus brand-owner recycled-content commitments underwrite the demand side.

Report context

Thailand Plastic-to-Fuel Pyrolysis Recycling 2027 Market Intelligence

Thailand generates 6.2-7.5 million tonnes per year of plastic waste with roughly 60 percent mismanaged and mechanical recycling capped at PET and HDPE rigid streams (about 22 percent of total). Chemical recycling — pyrolysis (mixed-PP/PE/PS to pyrolysis oil), depolymerisation (PET back to BHET and MEG monomers), gasification (mixed plastic to syngas) — is the only credible 2027 route for the residual stream. The 2027 catalyst stack: PCD Producer Responsibility Order effective Q1 2027 mandates registered EPR for FMCG and electronics brand-owners with explicit credit for pyrolysis output; IRPC Rayong pyrolysis pilot (1 kt per year, commissioned Q4 2024) leads SCG GO Green Chemicals Map Ta Phut (12 kt per year, 2026), PTTGC, Bangchak Biofuel and Banpu pyrolysis FIDs stacking to roughly 80 kt per year by 2027; BOI Section 8 chemical-recycling 8-year tax holiday plus 0 percent catalyst and equipment import duty; EU CBAM Phase 2 (January 2026) and ASEAN ICA Phase 1 (Q3 2026) charge a carbon premium on plastic exports; Coca-Cola, Unilever, Nestlé, PepsiCo recycled-content commitments force brand-owner offtake; BoT Sustainable Finance Framework underwrites SCB X and KASIKORNBANK green-bond capex; MoE End-of-Life Vehicle Bill mandates mixed-plastic recovery. Base 2027 read: Thai chemical-recycling revenue reaches THB 14-22B (against THB 0.4-0.9B in 2024) with IRPC, SCG GO, PTTGC and Bangchak Biofuel capturing 70 percent or more share and a long tail of registered EPR collector-processor SMEs capturing the remainder.
