In the meantime, with regard to the‘green’policy, it has considered to the new approach to charge the differential recycling fee by labeling. Though, the differential recycling fee plan faces more challenges, thus, it have to do further review to analyze its feasibility and to establish the rating indicators for the auditing and certification system. The first part of this study was to estimate the average weight of each items of waste electrical and electronic appliance by four statistical methods, namely the amount of imports, the amount of recycled, field research to the recycling plants, and the new products. Then, in terms of proposing the improvement suggestion, it did further review on the treatment cost and investigated the unusual recycling amount of items, that is over 100% and below 30% of recycling rate will be unusual one, such as TV sets, electrical fans, notebooks, and air conditioners. Also, the other task of this study was to continue to renew the fee ratesdatabase, and arrange 6 conferences and working group meetings of fee rate review committee and collect the historical recycling and treatment fee and subsidy fee of regulated recyclable items and containers and historical decision of fee rate review conferences and update those documents in the online system of Recycling Fund Management Board. The third part of this project was to involve the achievement of the US-Taiwan conference on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) management.
