Resource Recycling

line sharePrint Content

Since 1997, Taiwan has been promoting community residents to engage in household waste sorting, combining the efforts of local governments (cleaning teams), recycling enterprises, and the Recycling Fund to collect and reuse various types of small recyclable waste generated by households. Through the integration of these four entities, a comprehensive recycling network has been established to ensure a complete recycling cycle (Figure 1).

The main business of the Resource Circulation Administration(RECA) is responsible for the revenue, custody, and utilization of the Resource Recycling Management Fund, promoting various resource recycling policies and plans, vertically integrating central and local resources, horizontally combining the efforts of government, industry, academia, and research, constructing a comprehensive recycling and disposal system, and ensuring smooth operation of the recycling system.

According to Article 15, Paragraph 2 of the Waste Disposal Act, 14 major categories (38 items and 73 types) of waste have been announced for recycling. The Ministry of Environment manages 626 registered recycling enterprises and 88 disposal enterprises nationwide, of which 222 recycling enterprises and 78 disposal enterprises are subsidized. The recycling and disposal system in Taiwan has been established through the mechanism of issuing subsidy fees.
