Taiwan Unveils Draft Amendments to Two Major Waste Laws

On April 9, 2026, the Executive Yuan of Taiwan approved draft amendments to the Resource Circulation Promotion Act and the Waste Disposal Act submitted by the Ministry of Environment. The Resource Circulation Promotion Act is a complete overhaul of the current Resource Recycling and Reuse Act.

 

Through these amendments, Taiwan's waste management strategy is pivoting from a "disposal-centered" approach to a "Life Cycle Management" approach, aiming to establish a robust circular economy system.
