General Specifications on the Revisi ons to R estrictions  on the Use of 
Plastic T rays and Pack aging Boxes (Draft) 
In order to reduce the use of plastic trays and packag ing boxes, the Environm ental 
Protection Adm inistration announced  “restrictions on the use of plastic trays and packaging 
boxes” on March 28, 2007 according to the Resource Recycling and Reuse Act, stipulating  
that the annual reduction rate of 2007 and 2008 shall be 1 5% and  25% respectiv ely. The 
abovem entioned Act had subsequently under gone three revisions in which new reduction rate 
goals for the use of plastic trays and packaging boxes w ere stipulated; the goal for the  
reduction rate in 201 1 is 35%.    
According to the reports from  regulated tar gets, the 2010 reduction rate results indicated 
that the average reduction rate amounted to 33%, translating to  a reduction of 885-tons of  
petrochem ical plastic packaging, am ong which th e plastic packaging re duction rate for eggs 
and bakery was 84% and 69%, respectively . In a ddition, the statistics indicated that 97% of  
non-packaging cam e from  vegetable and fruit comm odities; hence the promotion of 
non-packaging for vegetable and fruit comm odities is in accord with th e spirit of source 
reduction. Thus, focused commodity regulation can  lead retailers to make a priority of  
reducing packaging for vegetables, fruits, eggs  and baked goods, consequently sim plifying the 
procedures of annual reduction pl ans and results subm ission. If th e reduction rate goal is not 
met, the retailer shall red uce th e same am ount of packag ing f rom other comm odities in ord er 
to achieve the same reduction result.      
Hence, the announcem ent proposes changing the goal of reduction rate  for plastic trays 
and packaging boxes to 40% for 2012. From  2013 onwards, the use of plastic trays and 
packaging b oxes is restr icted in th ree main categories of  commodities, nam ely eggs, baked 
goods, vegetables and fruits, with the goal of an 80% reduction rate. It is greatly hoped that 
through simplification and reduction, this will prom ote the continual reduction of waste and 
the conservation of natural resources.  
The m ajor announced item s are as follows:  
1. The reduction rate for plasti c trays and packaging boxes in 2012 shall be 40%; from  2013 
onwards, the reduction rate of plastic trays and packaging boxes for eggs, baked goods,   
vegetab les and fruits sh all be incr eased to 80%. (Revisions to Para graph 3 of the Matters 
Announced)   
2. Newly stipulated: form ula for reduction rate  for 2013 onwards. (Revis ions to Paragraph 3 
of the Matters Announced) 
ୋ1d΍20ࠫ 3. 2012 reduction plans shall be subm itted by March 31, 2012; from  2013 onwards, reduction 
plans sha ll be subm itted by November 30 of the prev ious year . If designa ted p ublic o r 
private prem ises that u se alternativ e containers  have provided alternat ive containers and   
details on the source o f their m aterials, then  testing reports for m aterials will not be  
mandatory . (Revisions to Paragr aph 5 of the Matters Announced) 
4. Newly stipu lated: when the sou rce of an alte rnative con tainer is chang ed, then  a redu ction  
change plan shall be applied. (Revisions to Paragraph 6 of the Matters Announced)
