Taiwan is implementing new legislation and funding to enhance its circular economy, aiming to become a regional hub by 2050. The environment ministry has spent two years on industry-academia collaborations, showcasing resource recycling technologies.

The circular economy sector is growing at 9% annually, compared to 2.3% in Germany, valued at TW$168.8 billion (US$5.3 billion). The government plans amendments to waste and resource laws, along with a TW$10 billion (US$318 million) green growth fund. Policies will focus on institutional coordination, legislation, technology deployment, and financing while adapting practices learned from the EU.
