Taiwan EPA: Creating a Vision The Taiwan Tech Trek (TTT) program offers overseas opportunities to work on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) assignments with companies, organizations, universities, and ministries in Taiwan, helping to promote awareness and appreciation of the country. It is capped by an academic conference for participants to showcase their work.

1. Taiwan EPA Creating a Vision Kristin Lee Alan Chou Peter Sun Jack Lan David Shen

2. introduction landfill incineration recycling creating a vision symbolizing the vision blue skies and green earth verdant mountains and pristine water environmentally conscious citizenry sustainable homeland

3. introduction landfill incineration recycling creating a vision striving for the vision balance natural resources and human-generated waste Taiwan waste disposal methods | landfill incineration recycling

4. creating a vision landfill route incineration recycling

7. garbage & leachate (H 2 O) isolation leachate collection setup (soil + gravel) fence groundwater garbage layers waterproof setup [polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, polyvinylchloride | geotextile mat | compressed clay wall] collected leachate re-circulated and/ or treated @ plant compressed clay wall creating a vision landfill route incineration recycling

9. the longest journey [commencement] 1] truck enters site @ 10 km/hr and weighed 2] if weight as reported, truck led to site 3] trash unloaded in cell; truck to wheel cleaning creating a vision landfill route incineration recycling

10. the longest journey [continuation] 4] compactor/ bulldozer compresses garbage until ideal thickness (40 ~ 80 cm) 5] when garbage reaches 3 m thick, layer of soil put on top (15 ~ 30 cm thick) 6] cake compressed again and new cell prepared for next cycle creating a vision landfill route incineration recycling

11. the longest journey [conclusion] 7] last layer of soil dumped to add 1 m thickness 8] remediation begins as trash decomposes creating a vision landfill route incineration recycling

13. creating a vision landfill incineration course recycling

14. Ba-Li waste incineration plant.1 creating a vision landfill incineration course recycling

16. waste incineration plant overview.1 creating a vision flowchart | landfill incineration course recycling

18. @ a waste incineration plant.1 creating a vision landfill incineration course recycling 1] power generation 4] follow-up procedures 3] pollutants emission control 2] pollutants emission

19. @ a waste incineration plant.2 creating a vision power generation | steam turbine generator heat energy recovered using heat generated to heat up boiler water to steam used for turbine propulsion power generation set turbine force through reduction gear set rotates alternate rotor which cuts magnetic flux from stator and generates electricity 69kV switchgear station basically controls power input/ output landfill incineration course recycling

21. @ a waste incineration plant.4 creating a vision pollutants emission control | cyclone dust separator (2) separates particulate matter via cyclone bag filter system removes 95% particulate pollutants activated carbon injection unit prevents dissolved dioxin components from recomposing due to temperature drop by absorption flue gas treatment landfill incineration course recycling

24. landfill incineration resource recycling creating a vision

25. what does it mean to recycle? creating a vision recycling | processing used/ waste materials for reuse instead of being wasted landfill incineration resource recycling

29. Taiwan municipal solid waste (MSW) generation creating a vision 15% 85% 1.1 million T recycled 6.3 million T disposed 7.4 million T MSW generated in 2003 Environmental Protection Administration 2004 landfill incineration resource recycling

30. four-in-one resource recycling program creating a vision local community recycling foundation recycling company local gov’t authority landfill incineration resource recycling

31. recycling program garbage data.1 creating a vision Environmental Protection Administration 2005 landfill incineration resource recycling

32. recycling program garbage data.2 creating a vision Environmental Protection Administration 2005 garbage volume reduction landfill incineration resource recycling 23,870 24,331 24,330 23,468 21,518 18,421 16,922 16,063 19,876 22,672 22,502 22,240 22,220 21,684 21,280 21,039 21,441 22,039 1.135 0.752 1.143 1.135 1.082 0.976 0.895 0.829 0.709 13,000 14,000 15,000 16,000 17,000 18,000 19,000 20,000 21,000 22,000 23,000 24,000 25,000 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Year 0.70 0.74 0.78 0.82 0.86 0.90 0.94 0.98 1.02 1.06 1.10 1.14 1.18 Average daily garbage clearance volume (tones) Population per garbage clearance area (thousands of people) Average daily per capita garbage clearance volume (kg) Population per daily garbage clearance volume ( 1,000 people / tones) Daily per capita garbage clearance volume (Kg/person/day)

33. the “zero-waste” action plan creating a vision 1] Garbage Sorting, Recycling, and Reduction Plan 2] Taiwan Area Garbage Disposal Follow-Up Plan 3] Food Waste Clearance and Recycling Plan 4] Environmental Science and Technology Park Promotion Plan 5] Plan to Build a New Image for Environmental Facilities - Transformation of Incineration Plants 6] Plan to Promote Awareness of Newly Listed Mandatory Recyclables 7] Plan to Increase Recycling Rates of Items Already Listed as Mandatory Recyclables landfill incineration resource recycling

37. landfill incineration recycling conclusion creating a vision the vision revisited blue skies and green earth verdant mountains and pristine water environmentally conscious citizenry sustainable homeland
