The EPA on November 11 held a public hearing to promote its program of comprehensive battery recycling and to hear the opinions of concerned parties.
As frequently pointed out by environmental groups and experts, the major obstruction to battery recycling has long been the difficulty of discerning batteries targeted for recycling from those which are not required to be recycled. This problem has dampened the general public's willingness to recycle batteries. And, when non-recyclable batteries are inadvertently put through the recycling process greater effort is needed in sorting, which unduly burdens the recycling fund.
In an EPA-sponsored study by National Cheng Kung University, researchers found that single-use batteries contain fairly high levels of heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, and lead. Whether discarded batteries are landfilled or incinerated, they significantly impact the environment. In another study, data from international sources indicated that comprehensive approaches to battery recycling are fairly widespread. In addition to the countries of Netherlands, Switzerland, and Sweden, the European Union is currently discussing directives that require 75% of all batteries to be comprehensively recycled and will prohibit the sale of batteries that contain mercury and cadmium.
For these reasons, the EPA put forth two scenarios during the November 11 public hearing. Scenario A would require comprehensive recycling of single-use batteries and establish differentiated recycling fee rates according to heavy metal content. Scenario B would prohibit the manufacture and import of batteries that contain more than a specified level of certain heavy metals, and it would require that all other batteries be comprehensively recycled using a single recycling fee rate.
During the public hearing, battery industry representatives indicated that industry is not opposed to future comprehensive recycling policies. They expressed the hope, however, that the costs of recycling general batteries will be given more consideration in setting policy. They also emphasized the importance of improving the efficiency of the current battery recycling system. Environmental groups and recycling industry representatives are also prone to agree with comprehensive recycling. Bureau of Foreign Trade representatives stated their concern that the import limitations under Scenario B would be incompatible with Taiwan's current import regulations and feared that, should this scenario be chosen, legal adjustments would be required.
After hearing responses from these parties, the EPA has been leaning toward Scenario A. Current rough estimates indicate that after implementing comprehensive recycling policies, the amount of batteries recycled annually will skyrocket from the current level of about 20 tons to several thousand tons. The recycling fees for non-recyclable manganese-zinc batteries and alkali batteries will increase to between NT$0.2 to NT$3.3 (see Table 1). Furthermore, because the scale of the recycling market is expanding, per-unit recycling costs are coming down. This will bring a 30% to 70% reduction of the recycling fee rates for batteries that must be recycled according to current requirements (see Table 2).
Setting the varying rates for specified heavy metal-containing batteries will be the next stage of the EPA's battery recycling policy.

摘要
At a recent public hearing all concerned parties expressed support for the EPA's planned comprehensive battery recycling program. It is anticipated that following implementation, the number of batteries recycled will jump by more than 100 times current levels. As the scale of the recycling system rapidly expands, the EPA expects battery recycling fee rates to drop significantly. Moreover, future fee rates will be set according to the heavy metal content of batteries. The EPA on November 11 held a public hearing to promote its program of comprehensive battery recycling and to hear the opinions of concerned parties.

At a recent public hearing all concerned parties expressed support for the EPA's planned comprehensive battery recycling program. It is anticipated that following implementation, the number of batteries recycled will jump by more than 100 times current levels. As the scale of the recycling system rapidly expands, the EPA expects battery recycling fee rates to drop significantly. Moreover, future fee rates will be set according to the heavy metal content of batteries. The EPA on November 11 held a public hearing to promote its program of comprehensive battery recycling and to hear the opinions of concerned parties. As frequently pointed out by environmental groups and experts, the major obstruction to battery recycling has long been the difficulty of discerning batteries targeted for recycling from those which are not required to be recycled. This problem has dampened the general public's willingness to recycle batteries.
