Absrtact
The goal of this research project was two-fold: recommending research and development needs for FY2013 and constructing a short and long term strategy plan in the field of waste recycling under the jurisdiction of Recycling Fund Management Board, EPA. The work was completed stepwise through information collection, information compiling, expert meeting, and final integration and proposal submission. The information was collected through questionnaire survey, interview with professions, news/web searching, and profession journal searching. A questionnaire was designed based on waste recycling flow stream and items recycled. In total 290 individuals and agencies in 6 profession groups were invited to fill the form and provide suggestions. 48 units responded with astonishing 208 comments/suggestions. The news/web searching was based on the news edited and released from the Office of Sustainable Development (OSD), EPA, which collects global environmental issues through major websites, state information release, and EC information center. In total, a list with 301 news was collected and analyzed. Five major profession journals, Waste Management and Research, Waste Management, Resources, Conservation and Recycling, Journal of Cleaner Production, Energy Conversion and Management with more than 150 papers were reviewed. Then, all information from the above sources were compiled and reclassified into five groups, including system/regulation, organization, pollution control, research and development, social/economic issue, by this project, and the issues were condensed to a draft of 59 topics. The expert meeting was then called to review and comment on the draft. Finally, the short and long term strategy plan with 32 topics were outlined and proposed after comments and suggestions from the professional meeting. Meantime, based on the urgency, 12 topics in four categories, including establishment of basic information and analysis, technical development, guideline and index development, and future needs, were screened and selected for the FY2013 R & D needs.
