Waste management in Taiwan

Urban Farm DB summary

This Wikipedia article on waste management in Taiwan describes a recycling programme that began in 1989 following a 1987 amendment to the Waste Disposal Act, with the 3R Foundation established in 1994. There are 33 recyclable items across 13 categories; raw food waste is processed into fertilizer for farmers while cooked food waste is converted into livestock feed. As of August 2023, 25 large-scale incineration plants operate, 22 publicly owned (5 publicly operated, 17 privately operated) and 3 privately owned and operated. In 2016, 76.8% of fly ash from coal-fired power plants (1.703 million tons) was reused in construction.
