Well, the amount of waste diverted for recycling depends upon how much is thrown into the garbage in the first place instead of being diverted before. Since many people in Thailand make a living from buying just waste that can be recycled certainly there is not much left to be diverted from the garbage. That low figure of 8 % just shows that the people who made that statistic don't have much idea of life in Thailand.
