This study collects information and recent progresses on management system in U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and European Union. Results of a couple of previous surveys are also referred. Recycling rate based on the data collected through auditing and verification mechanisms of the Recycling Funds remains low for years. The objective of this study is to try to identify why the auditing-and-levee mechanism for general waste and reporting-and-control system of industrial waste have not been able to collect all the waste oil which is subject to proper reuse, recovery, treatment and final disposal. Recommendations and suggestion are discussed as follows. (1) CCC Codes adapted by Energy Bureau may be considered and Simplified categories may clarify current calculation for recycling rate and related fees. (2) The “recycled amount” should include the amount of waste reused even it is not audited. (3) Recovery as heat and energy should be enhanced to improve the overall result of recycling and reuse. (4) Legal business should be encouraged by providing assistance to upgrade their technology level and financial support by re-evaluating the levee. (5) Setup of recycling points can be coped with the existing Recycling Fund system. (6) Suggested measures can be construction of voluntary recycling system by manufacturers and importers, better environment of investment for developing recycling technology, and establishment of codes and standards for green-products.
