| 摘要 | The Environmental Management Administration, Ministry of Environment (MOENV) invited the Taiwan Surface Finishing Association, surface finishing businesses in northern Taiwan, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), local environmental bureaus in northern Taiwan, the Ethics Office, Department of Water Quality Protection and the Department of Atmospheric Environment of the MOENV to the ?resentation for voluntary pollution management of metal finishing??on 28 May 2024 to promote the new concept of voluntary compliance, hoping the industrial sector will move toward clean production and work with the government to create a new environmentally sustainable world. The presentation was made by Director General Hsu-Ming Yen. |
| 全文 | Director General Hsu-Ming Yen. The Environmental Management Administration (EMA) noted that metal finishing is an important part of Taiwan? manufacturing industry. As the industry continues to evolve, the wastewater generated still contains hazardous heavy metals and strong acids and bases. The technology to process wastewater is fairly mature, but it is expensive to process the hazardous sludge generated from wastewater treatment. That is why illegal dumping frequently occurs as some businesses attempt to save money. However, if wastewater containing various heavy metals can be recovered, post-treatment sludge is actually valuable due to recyclable materials therein, which can significantly offset treatment costs. To assure business owners, ITRI is commissioned to develop wastewater diversion technology, and in addition many technical consultants have also developed new technologies for this task. Businesses may search for what suits them. The EMA has been working in alliance with prosecutors and police in recent years. Technology is widely used in inspections. Multiple high-profile environmental pollution events have been detected and owners of violating businesses have been subject to imprisonment as well as confiscation of illegal gains, amounting to tens of thousands of NT dollars. The EMA expressed that punishment is not their primary purpose and the last thing they would like to see are businesses going down like this. To solve this problem once and for all, the EMA has been working hard to promote voluntary air pollution control, wastewater control and waste disposal. These efforts are made to improve the technical ease of pollution treatment, reduce pollutant emissions at source, and realize a balance between production and environment. The EMA urges all businesses to maintain sustainable operations. It is necessary to move beyond outdated technologies and concepts. Environmental protection should not be seen as a cost that provides no returns. For example, TSMC has made copper sheets out of copper-containing wastewater, a perfect example of turning waste into valuable products. On one hand, this achieves sustainability for industry and the environment, and on the other hand, there are fewer concerns about inspections by environmental protection bureaus. |
