「Scrap Metal Import Controls to Continuewaste2002」於資料集「Environmental Policy Monthly」由單位「行政院環境保護署」的楊先生所提供,聯繫電話是(02)23117722#2217,(02)23117722#2216,最近更新時間為:2022-01-15 01:13:03。 欄位編號的內容是923 , 欄位標題的內容是Scrap Metal Import Controls to Continue , 欄位摘要的內容是Replying to the appeals of the scrap metal disposal industry which had hoped that some scrap metal import controls would be eased, the EPA has declared that it will not ease restrictions on scrap metal imports until there is time to perform a careful assessment and devise accompanying measures.
Under Article 38 of the newly revised Waste Disposal Act (廢棄物清理法), authorizing documentation must be applied for and obtained from local environmental protection bureaus before industrial waste may be imported, exported, transported across the national borders, or transshipped. These requirements do not apply, however, when the central competent authorities have announced, following consultation with the authorities in charge of the target industry, that the industrial waste is a needed industrial material. Because of this, some domestic mixed scrap metal disposal firms have recommended to the EPA and Industrial Development Bureau, MOEA, that mixed scrap metal “waste wire or cable not containing oil or grease” be listed as “a needed industrial material” in accordance with Article 38 of the Waste Disposal Act, and exempted from import controls. These firms reason that the current domestic output of mixed scrap metal does not meet the usage demands of the disposal industry, making it difficult for some firms to survive, and that disposal technology and pollution control equipment have been improved to such an extent that the disposal process would not pollute the environment.
Addressing this request to re-open imports of this waste wire or cable, the EPA has noted that domestic industry does not yet need to depend on imported waste wire and for its supply of copper. In addition, over the past two years there have continued to be pollution incidents in which illegal operators burned waste wire and cable outdoors, and also instances of legal firms selling scrap metal to illegal operators for improper disposal in violation of law. In the past, scrap metal operators left several tens of thousands of tons of hazardous industrial waste in the Tafa Industrial Park (大發專業區), and the remaining waste is still having a harmful effect on the environment. Furthermore, there are 58 sets of mixed scrap metal specifications; if the import of one type is allowed, other firms will want equal treatment. If the import of many types of scrap metal is allowed, the potential repercussions will be endless. In view of these considerations, the EPA has declared it will not consider easing scrap metal import controls until there is time to perform a detailed assessment of the effects on industry and the environment, and until accompanying measures have been formulated.
While Taiwan once imported large amounts of scrap metal, the industry failed to implement appropriate disposal measures, leading to such problems as dioxin emission from open-air burning and pollution from acid washing operations. The air and water of southern Taiwan suffered from severe pollution, and an unbroken stream of public health problems resulted. This situation led the government to impose scrap metal import controls in 1984. The import of scrap metal was totally prohibited in 1993, and the enactment of the Regulations Governing the Permitting of Hazardous Industrial Waste Import and Export (有害事業廢棄物輸入輸出許可辦法) set the stage for the full-scale regulation of the import and export of hazardous waste.

Scrap Metal Import Controls to Continue
摘要
Replying to the appeals of the scrap metal disposal industry which had hoped that some scrap metal import controls would be eased, the EPA has declared that it will not ease restrictions on scrap metal imports until there is time to perform a careful assessment and devise accompanying measures. Under Article 38 of the newly revised Waste Disposal Act (廢棄物清理法), authorizing documentation must be applied for and obtained from local environmental protection bureaus before industrial waste may be imported, exported, transported across the national borders, or transshipped. These requirements do not apply, however, when the central competent authorities have announced, following consultation with the authorities in charge of the target industry, that the industrial waste is a needed industrial material.
