Based on the Green Mark criteria of energy saving low pollution, and recyclability the markets will soon bear witness to a new breed of environmental computers, clothing materials, rechargeable batteries, and lubricants.
At a recent meeting of the EPA's Green Mark Review Committee, the EPA Deputy Administrator and Committee Convener, Lin Ta-hsiung, pointed out that Taiwan produces on average 20% of the worlds desktop computers. Having a Green Mark (Taiwan's eco-label) for computer hardware including the entire CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc., would encourage the design of energy saving, low pollution, recyclable, desktop computers. Statistics shows that in 1999 the domestic market for personal computers in Taiwan reached 1.37 million, consisting of 1.16 million desktop computers and 210 thousand notebook computers, an annual growth rate of 32%. Estimates show that in the year 2000 global market for desktop computers will also continue to grow at a double digit pace, breaking the 100 million mark.
The major considerations in developing a Green Mark for desktop computers was coming up with clear guidelines for reducing energy consumption, regulating use of hazardous materials, ozone depleting substances, and heavy metals, and increasing use of recycled plastics and paper. For example use of mercury in batteries, use of mercury or cadmium in monitors, and use of ozone depleting substances regulated by the Montreal Protocol during the production process would disqualify a computer from obtaining the Green Mark.
Traditional industries, such as textiles, also play an important role in Taiwan's economy. According to statistics Taiwan is the world's largest producer of raw polyester fibers and the third leading producer of rayon (behind the US and China). A new Green Mark for textile products will encourage the use of recycled PET and plastic bottles. PET can be used as a raw material for fibers which are used to produce blended cloths that are later manufactured into finished clothing products. A product must incorporate over 50% recycled PET plastics to be considered a recycled PET textile.
The EPA's Bureau of Performance Evaluation and Dispute Settlement noted that production of recycled PET textiles does not require complicated chemical reactions and can reduce energy consumption and pollution, and contribute to recycling. Further, products made from blended recycled fibers have a number of special characteristics, such as moisture absorption, wear resistance, and the ability to breath. For these reasons, in the future the Green Mark for PET textile products will most likely begin appearing on clothing as a mark of quality assurance similar to the "100% Cotton" label.
Since the EPA began promotion of the Green Mark over 67 categories of product specifications have been developed. Over the years 1,211 information requests from enterprises have been recorded, 225 Green Mark applications have been approved, and 906 products have been permitted to use the Green Mark. The Green Mark has been used over 1.3 billion times on items with a total production value of NT$27.5 billion. The EPA has continued to amend product specifications and collect information from advanced countries about their governments' green procurement programs. ， 欄位全文的內容是The EPA's Green Mark Review Committee recently cleared the way for four product types to apply for the Green Mark.
