The Environmental Protection Administration is currently trying to improve the recycling and reprocessing technologies of 16 due-to-recycle products. The recycling and reprocessing channels of these products and the market of reprocessed material are also under investigation. The purpose of this project is to achieve the goals mentioned above. The 16 due-to-recycle products include waste vehicle, motorcycle, electric and electronic product, information technology product, lead storage battery, battery, tire, lubricant, fluorescent lamp, electric fan, and computer keyboard. Information of recycling and reprocessing channels and technologies in foreign countries such as European Union, North America, Japan, and Korea was collected. The feasibility of establishment of recycling and reprocessing plant in the Environmental Science and Technology Park was also studied. Four ‘Workshop on Recycling and Reprocessing Technology’ meetings were held to promote the improvement of reprocessed material quality and the usage rate of the material. This project was started with confirming which 16 due-to-recycle items should be investigated. Then related information was collected and analyzed. At the same time, the basic information and the evaluation of recycling and reprocessing plants were collected and done through field investigation. There were totally 70 plants investigated in field and each one was visited twice in this study. Finally, based on the synthesized information through this entire project, the research team made suggestions for recycling regulation changes in the future.
