The project conceived by the concept of the “Circular Economy”, which aimed to deepen international collaborations and exchange of ideas and improve the efficiency of the upstream and downstream sectors of the industry chain through organizing and participating in international conferences related to the circular economy. Therefore, as part of this project, we held the “Exhibition Attending and Idea Discussion and Exchanging at ISWA 2022 Singapore” and the “4th Taiwan Circular Economy Week” between September and November; we invited Taiwanese governmental agencies, enterprises and vendors, associations and pioneers and experts in circular economy in industry, organized matchmaking events, and conducted exchange of ideas regarding strategies for tackling issues, technical know-how and business scope. In the meantime, we promoted Taiwan’s efforts and achievements in the circular economy in order to drive transformation. Regarding the “Exhibition Attending and Idea Discussion and Exchanging at ISWA 2022 Singapore”, we attended the annual ISWA, set up the exhibition display, and visited the Taipei Representative Office in the Republic of Singapore, the National Environment Agency, and the three waste management and circulation facilities - Marina Bay Sands, the Asia Cement Corporation’s office in Singapore, and the Tuas South Incineration Plant. As for the “4th Taiwan Circular Economy Week”, we organized the “2022 Taiwan Circular Economy Outstanding Enterprises Award Ceremony and Enterprise Summit” and the “Visit to and International Exchanges of Ideas and the Promotion of Local Businesses at the Taoyuan Sustainable Resource Center”. More specifically, we held the award ceremony for outstanding enterprises, showcased these enterprises, arranged exhibitions and guided tours regarding the industry of circular economy, held three keynote speeches and organized a visit to the Cheng Loong Paper Mill factory in Da Yuan District, Taoyuan City.
In addition, regarding participation in international conferences, we collected data and consolidated key messages relating to the circular economy from the conferences organized by four international organizations. These were: 1) the Green Growth and Sustainable Development Forum (GGSD) by the organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); 2) the World Circular Economy Forum 2022 (WCEF2022); 3) the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP); and 4) the Asia LEDS Partnership (ALP). We assigned dedicated personnel to be stationed at the EPA and to assist in administrative affairs in order to enhance the efficiency and quality of the project’s execution. Through organizing and getting involved in international conferences and events relating to the circular economy for this project, we have become familiar with the latest trends around the circular economy; this has helped us to speed up the process of building a sustainable environment and lifestyle in Taiwan.
