The implementation period of this project is from February 17, 2022 to December 15, 2022. Relevant achievements during the reporting period on July 29, 2022 include:
（1）Since the announcement of the "Regulations on Restricting Excessive Packaging of Products" in 2005, the regulation has controlled excessive packaging of products, including cake and pastry gift boxes, cosmetic gift boxes, wine gift boxes, processed food gift boxes, and computer program CD-ROMs. Internationally, various countries have subsequently amended their regulations related to excessive product packaging. The government of our country, in collaboration with the private sector, has actively responded to this international trend. Leveraging our existing expertise, we have delved into practical and technical aspects of product packaging to reduce the generation of packaging waste in our country.
（2）The inspection related to packaging has been completed, with a total of 80 items submitted for inspection by the industry. Out of these, 1 item did not meet the box layer requirement, and 8 items did not comply with the packaging volume ratio requirement. The remaining items met the standards and were deemed acceptable. In the proactive audit, a total of 199 items were reviewed, and 85 of them did not pass the inspection. Among these, the highest non-compliance rate was observed in cosmetic gift boxes.
（3）Analysis of packaging reduction management measures in various countries for online shopping has been completed. The translation of packaging management policies for countries such as South Korea, Singapore, the European Union, and Germany has also been carried out. Research and compilation of international online shopping packaging reduction management models have been conducted. Based on this research, a strategy for reducing online shopping packaging in our country can be formulated.
（4）Assisting in the legislative work related to " Restrictions on the Use of Packaging in Internet Shopping and Implementation Methods " and completing the compilation of the inspection execution manual. Prior to the announcement of " Restrictions on the Use of Packaging in Internet Shopping and Implementation Methods," a total of 305 online shopping items were randomly inspected. Among them, 224 items were deemed qualified, resulting in a compliance rate of 73.44%.
（5）During the execution period, one online shopping packaging reduction alliance meeting has been successfully conducted. Ongoing interaction and review with alliance members have taken place to address the announcement made on February 16, 112th year regarding the "Restrictions on the Use of Packaging in Internet Shopping and Implementation Methods.
（6）During the implementation period, we conducted inspections in collaboration with the local environmental protection bureaus for 100 major enterprises. The results of the packaging material inspection showed that the majority of these enterprises adjusted their packaging materials in response to the announcement of restrictions on the use of internet shopping packaging. Regarding packaging methods, a total of 86 enterprises adjusted their packaging operations processes due to the announcement. We conducted on-site inspections of 84 products, and all of them complied with the regulations.
（7）The implementation of creative design activities for product packaging reduction has been carried out. An inventory of domestic product packaging design activities has been conducted, taking into consideration communication effectiveness, and in collaboration with the "Golden Pin Design Award." In the case of general merchandise, there is room for further improvement in packaging reduction. This includes reducing packaging at the source of production, utilizing a single type of packaging material, and promoting the use of recyclable packaging materials in product design and manufacturing.
（8）A total of 8 sessions have been organized for planning-related policy development, regulatory amendments, and progress in formulating policies. These sessions include public hearings, working group meetings, briefings, legal outreach meetings, and inspection practice and educational training. In addition, 5 sets of policy graphic and textual materials have been completed for restrictive product over-packaging, online shopping packaging reduction, and other related policies. One online shopping packaging reduction forum and one Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) of the Executive Yuan source reduction promotion achievement exchange meeting have been organized.
