This project studies packaging reduction management methods and related case studies from Europe, United Kingdom, and Japan, as references for the assessment of packaging light-weighting categories and standards. Under current Excessive Packaging Restriction enforcement and Carbon Footprint Labeling framework in Taiwan, it is considered in prior to adding the enforcement in light-weighting packaging in alcoholic drink, non-alcoholic drink, canned food, condiment, detergent and cosmetic product. Those which six items of light-weighting packaging assessment indicators are based on the product weight ratio. In terms of implementing mechanism, it is recommended to joint venture with the above six product associations（organizations）, take role models in packaging reduction promotion of other countries, and adjust our domestic enterprises’ voluntary packaging reduction agreements in the past years, to reach the setting excessive packing waste reduction goal gradually by applying designed indicators.
In promoting packaging light-weighting work, the positive results from the enterprises’ voluntary packaging reduction agreement were 3,691 reduction tonnes in 2010 and 860 tonnes reduction in the first half of 2011, both met the reduction goals. In 2011 , this project has advised 21 enterprises to improve excessive packaging reduction, such as reducing printing area, reducing packaging volume, reducing packaging materials types and usage, and reducing the adhesive layer usage. Totally there were 12 enterprises, expanded to distributors, confectionary and beverage industries expected to reduce more than 965 tonnes excessive packaging waste in 2012.
In advocating packaging reduction tool and green packaging promotion work, this project continues to updated the green packaging assessment tool, revised the website content, and provided two versions of green package design guide-manuals for the industry and general public. Besides, two green design workshops were organized to gather ideas and experiences to inspire the participants in upgrading expertise. Furthermore, this project developed the 2011 Green Living Expo by its public participation, and established kinds of rules for the “Green Packaging Design Competition and Awards” for rewarding and inspiring the muti-targets of students, professionals, enterprises and industries.
In mercury-containing wastes management work, the positive outcomes include enact Button Type Dry Cell Batteries control and restriction measures and rectify Restrictions on the Manufacture, Import, and Sale of Dry Cell Batteries announments. In current status, the Button Type Dry Cell Batteries control and restriction measures meet its limitations in not only reducing the mercury pollution but also increasing cost revenue, which is not recommended in prior to take. On the other hand, it is a prior to suggest in controling and restricting those batteries with cadmium over than that of European Union, maximum permitted limit of 20 ppm by 25.6 percent in all. Moreover, this project performs purposely in mercury inspection by 100 designated battery type samples, which are meet the conformity rate (under 5ppm) in 99 percent.
