In order to highlight Taiwan’s concrete achievements in resource recycling for the past decade and promote our unique resource recycling system, there are three aspects of concern in this project: (1) This year we invite the domestic and international professional personage and scholar to discuss how to turn global WEEE crisis into the opportunity of Taiwan from the view of 3E (economy, environment and eco-design). The 2009 International Conference on Resource Recycling was held at the National Central Library International Conference Hall in October 20th-21st, 2009. It amounts to 423 people to participate in this conference. The conference responds enthusiastically and was finished satisfactorily. The relevant media report reaches 19, and the media benefit is up to more than 2 million dollars during this activity. (2) In order for the public and international stakeholders to understand the resource recycling efforts and achievements in Taiwan, 2008/09 Biennial Report was published in Chinese and English. The content of the annual presents the unique of our resource recycling system and achievement of resource recycling over the years. We hope to encourage the society as a whole to join this work together and create the new opportunity of resources recycling. (3) In order to market and promote our resource recycling achievements and system, we have finished investigating 23 diplomatic Allies and 15 non-diplomatic countries, including national basic information and relevant waste management policy and system. We design the standard operation procedure and collect some relevant teaching materials of different international marketing by long-term and short-term strategy, include workshop, inviting the foreign personage to visit Taiwan, participating the international exhibition and conference. We hope that these achievements will become bases of the international exchange activity of resource recycling in the future. In the cause of perfecting International Conference on Resource Recycling, we have the following suggestions: first, the propose and the subject of international conference can be more clearly. We can utilize the conference to drive the exhibition or resource recycling award to create the activity way of web 2.0. The mechanism of exchanging visits can strengthen the study and communication of resource recycling industries of both sides. Finally, we propose lengthening this project period as two years; it can make preparatory time of international conference abundant.
