Abstract:	Owing to increasing amount of general waste (GW) to be disposed, the Waste Disposal Act (WDA) was modified by Legislation Yuan, Taiwan in 1988. The Act proclaims that the responsible enterprises (REs), including manufacturers and importers, need to take care of the recycling, clearance, and disposal responsibilities of the wasted packaging containers (WPCs) such as iron cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles, plastic containers, paper container, and aluminum foiled paper packs. REs should be charged with a certain amount of recycling, clearance, and disposal fees (RCDFs), which was collected by EPA for the establishment of the Resource Recycling Management Fund (RRMF) in 1997. With the assistance of RRMF, the amount of recycled WPC increased drastically. Meanwhile, to fulfill the equitableness and justice, EPA is trying to extend the scope of REs and amend the RCDFs reasonably reflecting market economy. Based on such efforts, the reduction of WPC in GW is expected. However, there are still some problems to be addressed, including the charged targets of RCDFs, the use of differentiated rate of RCDFs for the containers made of multiple materials. The current work presents responsible recycled mechanism for the WPC and the proposition on the future work.
