Project for the Investigation of the Reuse of Industrial Waste Required as Materials for Industrial Use and its Management and Counseling

Absrtact	On October 4, 2018, “industrial waste required as materials for industrial use” was revised to restrict qualifications of paper waste and thermoplastic waste importers and the types of sources for such wastes. This project is an investigation of the import of paper waste and plastic waste from 2016 to 2019. The quantity and source of paper waste imported into Taiwan from 2016 to 2019 indicate an increase in import volume clearly resulting from China’s waste import ban in 2018. After the amended regulations in October 2018, there was a significant drop in import quantity of paper waste in 2019. The quantity of plastic waste imported into Taiwan from 2018 to 2019 was influenced by China’s waste import ban in 2018. After the amended regulations in October 2018, the anticipated decrease in import quantity was achieved in 2019. To reuse industrial waste, businesses have to apply for industrial waste disposal proposal and online declaration of monthly operations record in accordance with the “Management Regulations for Reuse of Common Industrial Waste”. The project involves the on-site visit and counseling of 260 companies. Importers were counseled on the application for reuse inspection and approval, and online declaration. Since the counseling, proportion of plastic waste and paper waste importers who passed the reuse inspection and approval each month and operational record declaration rate both increase obviously. Based on characteristics of the industry learned from on-site counseling, adding offline declaration function of operational records for those who imports industrial waste to reuse is recommended. In order to prevent wrong input in standard classification of commodities of the republic of China (C.C.C. Code) and import custom declaration entry number as declaring, limiting the number of characters of declaration field in declaration system is recommended. For those factories who do not apply for reuse inspection and approval but do imports, transferred to EPB to check and punish to urge those factories to apply for, and make regular check by EPB on declaration system to ensure them declaration on time.
