Chungho City in Taipei County collects used plastic bags and auctions them off, fetching a high price of NT $ 3,500 a ton thanks to high oil prices. Companies can manufacture plastic pellets from them, which can then be made into household products like plastic containers, mats and so forth.
環保是門好生意從資源回收所帶來的財源不限於廚餘一項，如台北縣中和市將塑膠袋回收之後進行標售，在今年油價高漲的刺激下，竟出現了一噸 3,500 元的高價；得標廠商可以此製成塑膠粒，進而再製成塑膠桶、踏墊等各種日常用品。
