Sustainable consumption starts with everyday habits
Sustainable consumption and recycling is one of the core areas of work of the Resource Circulation Administration, Ministry of Environment: cutting down on single-use items, promoting reuse services such as reusable cups, and planning Taiwan's recycling system. The goal: help everyone bring their own, reuse and use less, and recycle what's left so it becomes a resource again.
- Source reductionBring your own cup and bag; use fewer throwaway items.
- RecyclingSort it right and drop it off so it becomes a resource again.
- Reusable cupsBorrow a cup from the shop for your drink, then return it.
