Domestic Waste Overview of Taiwan
• In 2014, domestic waste was 26,250 kiloton in Taiwan, in which
municipal waste was 28% and enterprise waste was 72%.
• The waste-recycling rate of municipal waste was 56%, enterprise
waste was 81%, therefore the final disposed wastes are both
around 3,000 kiloton.

Waste Treatment Industry of Taiwan
Supported by governmental policy with
complete and compulsory regulations.
Government monitor treatment facility and
loading ratio, therefore, to prevent insufficient
treatment capacity.
Wastes sources are stable and sufficient.
Strength
Society distrust waste-treatment industry. The
recycled products has not yet been accepted
by consumers, the market is still restricted.
The waste treatment process involves several
companies in loop and increases possibility of
abuses.
It is difficult to build a new treatment plant.
Once the plants are full loaded, wastes can no
longer be treated.
Threats
It is difficult to trace the reuse status for
recycled products.
The authorities are dispersed in 10 different
administrations such as MOEA and so on.
The penalty of Waste Clearance Regulation is
relatively loose than other environmental
regulations.
Weakness
Due to the raise of environmental awareness in
Taiwan. The enterprises are more willing to
invest and develop technologies for waste
treatment and recycling.
To improve waste value through a refined
classification and pretreatment at the sources.
To improve industry’s premium and credibility
of environmental protection.
Opportunities

Status of the Polluted Sites under EPA’s
Observation
• According to the EPA, there 19 illegal dumping sites are polluted
and controlled for recovery. The major illegal wastes include
sludge, slags and waste liquid.
• Based on pollution area, 76% of the affected area is polluted by
heavy metal (mercury, nickel, cadmium, chromium, copper, zinc,
lead) and the other 24% is organic solvent (benzene, phenol).

Waste Management Hierarchy
• Recycling is processing used materials into new, useful products. This is done to reduce the consumption of raw materials that would have been used.
• Recycling also uses less energy and great method of controlling air, water and soil pollution.

Waste Management Process
• Start from… identifying and quantifying your waste. Organize a
waste management team to drive things forward.
• Generate an waste reducing action plan. Get commitment from
senior management for the action plan.
• Identify the possible disposal options if the waste is
unrecyclable. Select your waste carriers carefully and make sure
that your Duty of Care responsibilities are met.
• Monitor and review your achievements. Communicate your
success to interested stakeholders outside your organization.
14
Recycling – Transform the Value of Waste from
Negative to Positive
• After a proper converting process, to raise the quality and price
value of recycled waste and to compete with new product.
• In Taiwan, Nearly 60% of industries depend on recycling industry to
provide partial raw materials to balance cost with imported
materials. The annual production of recycling industry is growing
doubly in the last decade and reached NT$ 67.8 billion in 2015.
• The steel slags, furnace dust, solvent and metal contribute the
most to the production amount.

Innovation on Waste Recovery
• Since the waste generated by each company is unique, therefore
it is necessary to have professional teams for recycling.
Brainstorm to generate ideas and creative methods of waste
recovering. Only a long-term commitment can increase profits
through reducing waste.
• Generally speaking, the first priority of waste-recycling tasks is
to analyze the ingredients of the wastes, to investigate a proper
classification method for simplifying the complexity of the waste
and to manage the waste according to the recycling structure.
• One of the best strategies is to treat the waste with waste, to
transform it into a useful or valuable material.

Opportunities and Challenges
to Connect the Future
23
Be a Reputable, Licensed, Specialist Company
• A professional, responsible and sustainable waste treatment
industry is essential to success of waste treatment.
• In terms of reliability and credibility, the state-owned treatment
organizations are currently much better than private ones, the
differences of their performance are probably due to their
different business and financial models.
• The waste treatment industry should establish a transparent
management mechanism and information platform, such as
– an open and public logistic information and trading process.
– audit or verification guidelines ensure the sustainable industry.
24
Governance on Waste Management
• If the government is not capable to conduct the waste treatment enterprises, they should consider to transform the industry into state-owned enterprises (monopolistic sale) in order to protect the environment.
• Profits Guarantee: Set a minimum treatment price to avoid price competition. It can assure that the treatment plants gain fair profits, therefore they should be responsible of the legality.
• Responsibility Guarantee: Evaluate the performance of each treatment plant periodically . There should be a disqualification mechanism to assure the quality of treatment plants.
• Administrative Assistance: Amend the regulations to authorize enterprises selling their recycled wastes (B2B), so that the enterprises may dedicate to waste-recycling business.
25
Optimize Waste Management Program
• The first strategy of waste management is reduction, as well as prevention. The second is reuse, the last is recycling. Therefore reducing the usage from the source is the core value of the waste management.
• Bring waste treatment program to senior management level, which means to optimize the program through top-down management, is the opportunity to eliminate waste from the source i.e. reduction or prevention stage.
• Recycling and reuse can be as effective as possible only if the traditional logistic management is transformed. Facility should be requested to take more responsibility of waste reduction program and to dedicate into the new technology development .
• Encourage the suppliers to commit to waste-recycling, help the development of waste-recycling supply chain.
26
Recycle Your Business Waste by Yourself
• The more refined categories of wastes, the easier of recycling
process and higher of recycling rate. One of the most important
strategies of waste recycling is to recycle one’s own waste, so
that the complexity and the process of waste recycling can be
simplified.
• Designing an on-site recycling can reduce the risk of outbound
transportation. When the outbound transportation is eliminated,
not only the transportation can be relieved, but also the risk of
illegal dumping waste can be avoided.
27
Summary
28
The Opportunities and Challenges of Waste-
Recycling for Semiconductor Plants
• Treat the waste locally and avoid long distance transportation. It
is suggested that the government include the treatment plants
into industrial park or regional management system.
• Integrate the waste treatment plants to achieve better economic
and technical scopes, so that the profits can be ensured and
legal operation can be achieved.
• The waste treatment industry should assure profitability and
prohibit the price competition. The logistic operation should be
transparent, be watched by the society.
• High-tech industry can help to establish structured industrial
chains of waste recycling and final disposal. It is suggested that
the government assist and use this industrial chain to improve
the waste recycling performance of general industrial area.
29
The Opportunities and Challenges of Waste-
Recycling for Semiconductor Plants
• Same as green manufacturing and quality improvement
program, each corporation should monitor the waste reduction
outcome of their supply chains and encourage them to develop
the waste recycling techniques and business innovation.
• Facility organizations should invest their resources, take the
responsibility to solve the waste issues and to reduce operating
cost through waste-recycling.
• Waste recycled as raw-materials (cradle to cradle) is happening
now, it deserves effort for the enterprises to evaluate and to
consider their commitments to the waste recycling.
