The purpose of this project is to assist and monitor the contracted operation of Kuan-Yin Auto Shredding Plant. Also in this project, the research team was required to prepare the call-for-tenders documents and help transferring the operation right of Kuan-Yin Plant in 2005. Besides, in order to promote the ELVs recycling in Taiwan, another major task in this project is reviewing the performance and functions of the elements in the system including car-recycling rewards, take-back and processing logistics and subsidy receptors. The research results are intended to support future environmental policy of Taiwan EPA. Based on the operating records of Kuan-Yin Plant in 2004, Kuan-Yin Plant processed 55,765 tons of car hulks. The results indicate the Plant has achieved the requirement set by Taiwan EPA on the Plant operation. In addition, according to the monitoring results of noise and air pollution, this Plant met environmental regulations from year 2001 to 2003. In 2004, the research team completed two seasonal status reports including the overall operation, machinery equipment and emergency reacting processes. The call-for-tenders document, new rent calculation for the next-term operation, new lease forms and three appraisals for potential property values of Kuan-Yin Plant were also conducted. On the system reviewing side of this project, the research team completed the physical analysis of the ELV in the current waste stream, physical analysis of ASR, the reviewing of ELV collection rates and three educational workshops for the employees of the three shredding plants in Taiwan. The collection rate for waste cars is about 71.1% and 67.8% for waste motorcycles based on the estimation of the
