The MOENV’s Resource Circulation Administration (RCA) organized the 2024 International E-Waste Management Network (IEMN) Annual Meeting. The event was launched on 2 October with more than 70 guests from Argentine, Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Tuvalu, US and Vietnam as well as the MOENV’s partners in Taiwan. Attendees discussed global strategies of electronic product circulation, shared experience and technologies, and led partner countries in resource circulation to improve efficiency of resource use and reduce extraction and use of resources.
In his opening speech, the MOENV Minister Peng Chih-Ming mentioned that Taiwan strives for net-zero emission with recycling playing an important role in its pathway to net zero by 2050. In the past the Environmental Protection Administration (predecessor of the MOENV) had since its establishment been dedicated to extending manufacturers’ responsibilities with the unique fee collection and subsidization system and also promoting the 4-in-1 recycling program. Now, the MOENV has been founded and makes further efforts to create a circular economy. For years, garbage sorting has become a new fashion that is intertwined with people’s daily life, with a recycling rate of over 58%.
