The implementation of this project began on May 2 and will end on December 31, 2018. The relative results so far have covered four areas: (I) Referring to the international information on the packaging reduction, we have drafted the “Regulations for Restricting Products Over-Packaging” as a proposal to manage the packaging reduction in Taiwan. (II) We have drafted the amendments to “The Fee Collection Standards for Inspection on Products Over-Packaging”, and assisted the operation of the related law and regulations in calculating and suggesting the increase of the fee from NT$700/case to NT$950/case based on the “Charges And Fees Act”. Besides, we have held consultations. (III) We have completed 404 packaging inspection cases (3 more than the 400 cases required by the contract). We have organized a session of activity to promote products packaging reduction. (IV) We have worked in line with relevant administrative operations, which includes recommendations for products over-packaging inspection data filing under the Household Waste Management System (HWMS) of the Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan. Besides, we have completed the filing of the inspection data of the foregoing 404 cases.
