Chen Hsiung-wen, director of the Bureau of Waste Management at the Environmental Protection Administration, states that the successful implementation of a recycling system depends on the establishment of a recycling industry. At present, the worry for many small recycling systems in Taiwan is that they are not economic, depending as they do on government subsidies. Once such subsidies stop, recycling will cease.
拋開圖利之爭，環保署廢棄物管理處處長陳雄文表示，回收制度要落實，有賴回收產業的建立，目前國內許多小規模回收系統的隱憂在於不符經濟效益，需靠政府補助，一旦補助停止，回收就將中斷。
