The project was from January 10, 2017 to December 31, 2017, the main purpose of the project is to reflect the actual results of recycling through the investigation of the flow distribution of waste containers and the recycling rate calculation; and to encourage the resources recovery through the local EPB work to enhance the results of resource recycling in all counties and cities so that resources can be recycled and reused effectively. For the recovery of self-employed and recyclers, the status of acquisition of waste containers should be investigated and source control should be carried out from the upstream to enhance the quality of recovered materials and familiar with the market for resource recovery. Besides, collect the information of treatment technology which can raise the value of recycled materials for the EPA policy formulation and improve the overall recycling effectiveness. In the survey of waste container flow distribution and the estimation of recovery rate, the project completed 53 field investigations of the waste container flow distribution for recycling and processing industry. The other 6 waste paper containers and waste paper recycling sampling operation were completed, the results showed that about 3.35% of waste paper containers were mixed in waste paper recycling. Regarding to the draft of the "Scope of Handling Recycling Facilities for containers or Dry Battery Traders, Facility Settings, Specifications and Other Matters to Be Regulated", the project had investigated the status of recovery of 6 peasant associations and 6 pesticides retailers and evaluated their sell objects, access and product characteristics, to develop a draft of the regulations for reference. Another 22 container retailers recovery status were investigated and 397 people were interviewed for the waste containers recycling intention to retailers, as a Reference to the draft of the regulation. In analyzing the proposal for improving the income of self-employed individuals, the number of local self-employed in 2017 who hired by local EPB had reached 3,637. Most of the self-employed individuals indicated that the policy had positive effect for their real income. Proposed to encourage self-employed individuals to submit the recycled materials to recycler or village district recycling station, the above-mentioned institutions had to maintain the original purchase price, Also provide the additional subsidy for self-employed individuals. In the survey of purchasing prices for regulated recycled container in recycling industry, From March to November the average purchase price of scrap iron containers was 2.84 NTD / kg; aluminum scrap containers was 23.22 NTD / kg; waste glass containers was 0.81 NTD / kg; waste aluminum foil package / carton package was 2.88 NTD / kg; waste paper utensils was 2.78 NTD / kg; waste PET containers was 5.89 NTD / kg; mixed plastic containers was 5.49 NTD / kg; waste foam PS containers was 5.90 NTD / kg. In collecting the development trend of raising the value of recycled materials technologies for waste materials recycling at home and abroad, the EU and Japan mainly promote the conversion of waste into RDFs or pyrolysis. For example, using the material recycling as PET recycling, the economic benefit is about 118.1%. But for energy reuse (oil produced from pyrolysis oil), the high-value effect is up to 284.6%, which shows that the above technology has high value-added effect.
