To comprehensively resolve the immense waste problem facing the island, the EPA has recently implemented a number of waste reduction and recycling/reuse policies. The intent of these policies is to spur participation by all citizens, and, starting with the basic issue of waste reduction, build the foundation for an ecologically sustainable society. A peak of 8.88 million metric tons of garbage was disposed of in Taiwan during the year 1997. This quantity began dropping after that year; only approximately 7.25 million metric tons were disposed of in 2001, while the amount of recycled resources rose from 480,000 metric tons in 1997 to 1.05 million metric tons in 2001. Although these overall trends show that waste reduction and recycling are beginning to achieve meaningful results, small and populous Taiwan cannot construct an unlimited number of landfills and incinerators to dispose of the waste it is constantly producing. "Because we can't continue to depend on more and more incinerators and landfills to dispose of our waste, garbage reduction and recycling will unquestionably be among the EPA's future priorities." Thus EPA Administrator Hau Lung-bin laid out the EPA's policy principles concerning Taiwan's waste problem. Statistics indicate that a total of 1.05 million metric tons of useable resources were recovered from household waste in 2001. The amount of resources recovered from household waste is expected to rise steadily as the EPA continues to introduce new recycling measures. In addition, more than 11 million metric tons of resources are recovered from industrial waste every year. Thus, close to 12 million metric tons of resources are recovered from waste of all types every year. The EPA is currently working in four directions in order to speed the promotion of waste reduction and recycling and reuse. These are the implementation of the Environmental Industry Zone Development Plan (環保科技園區推動計畫), increasing the effectiveness of recycling by local sanitation teams, instituting the Plastic Shopping Bag and Plastic Disposable Dishes Use Restriction Policy (購物用塑膠袋及塑膠類免洗餐具限制使用措施), and accelerating the implementation of the Resource Recycling and Reuse Act (資源回收再利用法). CAPTION: Garbage Volume and Recycling Statistics for Taiwan Establishing Ecological Cities and Villages To promote the development of an ecologically sustainable domestic industry, the EPA plans to establish "environmental industry zones," which will foster the emergence of "eco-towns." To promote the development of the environmental protection industry and resolve Taiwan's environmental protection problems, the EPA is prepared to commit a budget of NT$3.5 billion for the full-scale implementation of the Environmental Industry Zone Development Plan (see EPM Vol. V, Issue 3). It is projected that 150 firms will have set up operations in these environmental industry zones within five years, stimulating NT$12 billion worth of private investment, creating NT$22.5 billion in annual output value, and recycling and reusing 1 million metric tons of waste each year. The EPA will provide land lease subsidies, tax incentives, and production and R&D subsidies to the recycling firms that move into these zones in the future. By supporting the development of the domestic environmental protection industry and raising the level of domestic waste disposal operations, these zones will reduce waste production and increase the reuse of valuable resources, which will lessen the social cost of pollution and enhance Taiwan's overall environmental quality. Instituting a National Waste Separation System According to statistics, of the 1.05 million metric tons of resources recycled in 2001, approximately 580,000 metric tons were recycled by local government sanitation teams. This plainly reveals the importance of sanitation teams in recycling work. The EPA has therefore drawn up an assistance plan to help local sanitation teams purchase recycling vehicles, which will enable them to achieve the goal of twice-weekly recycling pick-ups. This, in turn, will increase the public's willingness to participate in recycling. In accordance with Article 5 of the Waste Disposal Act (廢棄物清理法), the EPA announced the waste items that must be recycled on May 6 of this year. Local environmental protection bureaus or town/township public offices must separate and recycle these items in the future, and may not dispose of them together with other municipal garbage. The 12 regulated items are paper (including Tetra-Pac and paper containers), iron, aluminum, glass, plastic (including PET, PE, PVC, PP, and PS except for that used in plastic bags), dry cell batteries, motor vehicles (including automobiles and motorcycles), tires, lead storage batteries, electrical goods (television sets, washing machines, refrigerators, air-conditioners and heaters), information goods (computers and peripherals), and fluorescent lamps (straight-tube type). Furthermore, the EPA is also assisting local governments draw up their own Regulations for the Separation, Recycling and Clearance of General Municipal Solid Waste (一般廢棄物分類回收及清除辦法), which will further improve recycling results. The First Step to a Clean Nation "We have chosen to place restrictions on the use of plastic bags and plastic disposable dishes as the first step because we know from public opinion surveys that the people of Taiwan are aware that plastic bags and plastic disposable dishes are used wastefully, and are a gross form of pollution." Administrator Hau added that, in accordance with Article 21 of the Waste Disposal Act, the EPA formally announced on this year's Earth Day that the first stage of restrictions on plastic shopping bags and plastic disposable dishes would go into effect on July 1, 2002. (see EPM Vol. V, Issue 4) Ilan County and Kaohsiung City have already instituted measures to control plastic bags and disposable dishes. In Ilan County, government organizations, schools, the restaurant industry, shopping centers, farms, hotels and temples have been forbidden to use disposable PS and plastic disposable dishes since January 2001. In the case of Kaohsiung, restrictions were imposed on the use of plastic shopping bags and disposable dishes by government organizations since January 2002. Beginning on April 1, these restrictions were extended to department stores, mega stores, chain supermarkets and chain convenience stores. In compliance with these restrictions, some merchants have begun providing free paper bags, encouraging the public to buy environmentally-friendly bags or providing plastic bags only for an extra fee. Executive Yuan Premier Yu Shyi-kun expressed his support for the EPA's Plastic Shopping Bag and Plastic Disposable Dishes Use Restriction Policy at the Executive Yuan meeting held on May 29. Premier Yu feels that this well-thought-out policy can stimulate society's environmental awareness, and should be implemented vigorously. Yu called on central and local government agencies to set an example for the people by throwing their full weight behind the EPA and taking part in the promotion of this policy. Because of the scanty rainfall so far this year, some areas in Taiwan are already experiencing water shortages and have had to institute rationing on a district-by-district basis. While the EPA hopes that the public and merchants will employ reusable dishes in line with its policy of restricting the use of plastic disposable dishes, it also is aware that water rationing measures are making the public question whether there will be enough water to wash dishes. In consideration of this issue, the EPA has decided to delay implementation of the first stage of disposable dishes restrictions three months, until October 1, 2002. On the other hand, the first stage of restrictions on plastic shopping bags will still take effect on July 1, and the second stage of restrictions will similarly take effect on the originally scheduled date of January 1, 2003. Strengthening the Legal Basis for Recycling The Waste Disposal Act concerns end-of-pipe controls, and does not provide holistic criteria coverage the entire product life cycle. In contrast, the EPA-written draft of the Resource Recycling and Reuse Act, which the Legislative Yuan passed on June 4, builds on existing end-of-pipe controls by considering the feasibility of recycling and reuse throughout all stages of the product life cycle, including design, manufacturing, sales, use, and disposal. In accordance with the requirements of the new act, in the future the EPA will establish a Renewable Resource Recycling and Reuse Promotion Committee (再生資源回收再利用促進委員會) to bear responsibility for deliberating major policies concerning recycling. The new act also specifies that the competent authorities in charge of target industries must assist enterprises to recycle and reuse renewable resources. In light of specific industries' levels of development, the authorities shall announce which products or construction projects must recycle and reuse renewable resources. In addition, the new act authorizes the EPA to prohibit the use of certain products, packaging and containers in specified places. This provides a clear-cut legal basis for the EPA's implementation of the Plastic Shopping Bag and Plastic Disposable Dishes Use Restriction Policy. And to avoid unnecessary packaging on products, reduce the consumption of resources and limit the production of waste, in the future the EPA may, in consultation with the competent central authorities in charge of the industry in question, place restrictions on specified product packaging volume ratios, number of packaging layers, and materials used and their quantities in connection with certain announced industries. The new act also stipulates that government agencies should grant priority to the procurement of environmentally-friendly Green Mark products, products manufactured from recycled materials, or products made from raw materials including at least a certain percentage of renewable resources. The new act thus provides a firm legal basis for the government's institution of "green purchasing." Moreover, the new act further authorizes the EPA or competent authorities in charge of the industries in question to plan and establish environmental industry zones for the recycling and reuse of renewable resources. This provision can resolve the land needs of recycling businesses, while also offering preferential measures such as tax incentives to renewable resource industries, thereby encouraging and supporting the development of recycling-related industries in Taiwan.

摘要

Keeping pace with economic development the amount of waste generated in Taiwan has grown explosively. To comprehensively resolve the immense waste problem facing the island, the EPA has recently implemented a number of waste reduction and recycling/reuse policies. The intent of these policies is to spur participation by all citizens, and, starting with the basic issue of waste reduction, build the foundation for an ecologically sustainable society. A peak of 8.88 million metric tons of garbage was disposed of in Taiwan during the year 1997. This quantity began dropping after that year; only approximately 7.25 million metric tons were disposed of in 2001, while the amount of recycled resources rose from 480,000 metric tons in 1997 to 1.05 million metric tons in 2001.
