According to Taiwan media reports, the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency again announced on September 6 that the revised 'industrial materials' specifications, in addition to limiting import qualifications and feed quality, plus the processed recycled materials must be determined for domestic use, not directly exported Provision.
At the same time, the Taiwan Waste Management Office also shortened the original 60-day announcement period to 14 days. A public hearing will be held next Thursday (13th) morning, and efforts will be made to enact new regulations before the end of September.
Due to China’s ban on foreign garbage policy, Taiwan’s waste plastics and waste paper imports have increased significantly. In the first half of this year, the import volume of waste plastics surged to 2.57 times that of the same period last year.
Although, on August 13, the Taiwan government has issued a notice to amend the first item of the "Business Wastes for Industrial Materials Demand" announcement, and adjust the input specifications for waste plastics and waste paper.
However, in order to avoid being a foundry of other countries, the Taiwanese government can't wait to ban the 'speed increase', but also 'plus yards', clearly stipulating that renewable materials must be used in Taiwan.
The 'localization' trend is a signal that Taiwan’s ban on speeding up. Global waste recycling is tempting to localize recycling, localized processing, localized use, and there will be no third-party countries or regions. Willing to become the processing and processing place for foreign garbage, third-party countries have no responsibility or obligation to help any country to deal with garbage.
