Review this measure’s obligations and confirm whether they reach your products

Applies toBusinesses (事業) designated by the central competent authority with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOT) as the target industry competent authority, as defined under Waste Disposal Act Article 2,…

Obligations under this law
  • ·Businesses designated under WDA Article 31(1) must obtain approval of their industrial waste disposal plan from the municipal or county/city competent authority before conducting on-site reuse
  • ·Businesses not designated under WDA Article 31(1) may conduct on-site reuse without prior approval
  • ·Transportation of industrial waste to reuse institutions must be conducted by the business itself or by a licensed waste removal organization

No designated program action is recorded for this measure yet — treat the above as the general obligation and verify against the source text.

Regulation establishes a framework for reuse of transportation-sector industrial waste through pre-approved pathways and case-by-case permitting, advancing material cascading and inner-loop reuse; however, it is sector-specific waste management rather than a core circular-economy instrument (EPR, deposit return, recycled content, etc.) and lacks explicit producer responsibility or end-of-life product stewardship.
Covered Products
  • ·Industrial waste generated by businesses in the transportation sector (as designated by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications under the Waste Disposal Act Article 2, Paragraph 5)
Producer Obligations
  • ·Businesses designated under WDA Article 31(1) must obtain approval of their industrial waste disposal plan from the municipal or county/city competent authority before conducting on-site reuse

  • ·Transportation of industrial waste to reuse institutions must be conducted by the business itself or by a licensed waste removal organization

  • ·Reuse institutions must proactively report monthly operational records (product sales flow, quantities, and prior month-end inventory) to the central competent authority's industrial waste reporting and management information system by the 10th of each month
  • ·If system failure prevents timely online reporting, supplemental reporting must be completed within one day of repair
  • ·Reuse may proceed directly per Annex 1 categories and management methods for mature and widely applied reuse technologies
  • ·For waste types not covered by Annex 1 or other central authority approvals, businesses and reuse institutions must jointly apply for individual case reuse approval from MOT before proceeding
  • ·Reuse institutions must enter into a written contract with the waste-generating business before receiving waste for reuse
  • ·Contracts must be submitted to the municipal or county/city competent authority for record within 30 days of the day following contract execution, with a copy to the central competent authority
  • ·Any contract amendments or terminations must also be reported within 30 days
  • ·Reuse institutions must cease receiving waste or selling reuse products if ordered to do so by MOT or the WDA enforcement agency, and must submit proof of corrective action before resuming
  • ·For individual case reuse applications, applicants must submit application form and plan in 10 copies to MOT
  • ·Individual case reuse plan must include: waste basic data, removal method, reuse method, pollution prevention plan (including residual waste disposal), feasibility evidence or domestic/foreign track record, reuse product sales plan, emergency response plan, and other MOT-specified items
  • ·Changes to name, address, or representative of business or reuse institution must be reported to MOT within 15 days of the change
  • ·Changes to waste type, code, permitted quantity, or purpose require a new application for permit
  • ·Applications for renewal of individual case reuse permits must be submitted 3 to 6 months before permit expiration
  • ·Reuse involving import or export of industrial waste is excluded from this regulation and must follow WDA Article 38
Exemptions
  • ·Businesses not designated under WDA Article 31(1) may conduct on-site reuse without prior approval of a waste disposal plan
  • ·Waste types approved for direct reuse by other central industry competent authorities or covered by their blanket reuse approvals may proceed under those authorities' management requirements without MOT individual case approval
  • ·Reuse involving import or export of industrial waste is excluded from this regulation

Specific monetary penalties are not specified in this regulation.
Preemption Notes
This regulation is issued under WDA Article 39(2) and operates within the national waste management framework. It defers to other central industry competent authorities' reuse approvals and to WDA Article 38 for import/export cases.
