Obligations under this law
  • ·Recycling operators meeting the scale threshold must register with the local municipal/county competent authority by submitting an application form and supporting documents (company registration, responsible person ID, land documents, description of recycling items/methods/capacity/waste disposal, and other MOENV-required documents)
  • ·Recycling operators must operate only within the scope of their registered items and must not conduct unregistered activities
  • ·Recycling operators must notify the competent authority of changes to institution name/address, responsible person name/address/ID within 15 days after the change

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 administrative framework for approval, registration, and oversight of renewable resource recovery and recycling operators under Taiwan's Resource Recycling and Reuse Act; advances circular-economy infrastructure by defining technical feasibility criteria, operator licensing, record-keeping, and reporting requirements for secondary material streams, though material-specific scope is delegated to MOENV announcements.
