In this project, we collected research, reports, government statics and relevant cases through desk research. With the reference of localized management of outlying islands’ municipal solid waste in other countries, we planned the strategies of reduction and advancement of outlying islands’ municipal solid waste in reach the long term goal of stepping into the circular economy society. We held two expert consulting meetings that we invite experts to share the experiences of localized management of outlying islands’ municipal solid waste. With these advices, we discussed how to use circular economy thinking and cloud management to better manage waste in Taiwan’s outlying islands. We conducted an environmental education outreach activity in Lanyu. During the visit, we invited local cleaning squad to share their outcomes and visit the landfill. To promote the achievement of Bureau of Environmental Inspection, we produced a video of advancement of waste management and designed 10 Facebook posts and macros as the materials to communicate with the public on social media. We collected and survey the reason caused the accumulation of marine debris, and compiled the responsibility of each coastal authorities. We produced a hotspot map according to the accumulation of marine debris, and we used technology tools to record the change and dynamic of marine debris. Besides, we built a guideline of beach cleanup with consideration of seasonal change. We reviewed the international trend of using marine debris into circular economy, and evaluated the possibility of reusing Taiwan’s marine debris as circular economy products by reviewing the market situation and interview plastic recycle industries.
