I. Present Situation
Along with the upgrade of People’s living standard, a plethora of all kinds of
commodities leads to the ease of life, but also result in the increase of garbage year by
year. As a result, it raises the consciousness of environmental protection. In recent years,
two hot issues have been widely discussed: energy saving and carbon dioxide reduction,
i.e., eco-consciousness.
In the past, there were two ways to dispose household garbage, landfill and incineration.
The problem for the former one is the difficulty to find the place for landfill,
environment pollution also, and the latter is an excess of Carbon Dioxide.
So, the technology of garbage disposal will help to the recycle of valuable resource
contained in the garbage to be reused in an effective and economical way. We expect
the problem of environment pollution and energy shortage could be improved and
eased.
II. Green Industry Engulfs the whole World
Facing the predicament of anomalous climate and price soaring of raw material, the
new wave of Green Industrial Revolution is engulfing the whole world. Therefore,
Green Industry, claiming for environment protection, energy saving, low carbon dioxide,
and high efficiency, has come with the tide of fashion. It could be the new option for
most of companies to reduce cost and increase benefit, even the profit.
Along with the development of garbage disposal technology, its business opportunity
and potential for growing is getting highly well acknowledged. The global awareness of
environmental consciousness also facilitate the growth of garbage disposal and
recycling industry, as an alternative in response to high price of energy and raw material
and the way for sustainable development.
How to find perpetual energy and resource recycling for reuse has been the new
challenge for this generation. It would change the business model, and the product and
service with the concept of green environment protection would become the mainstream
in the world.

III. Profit
Energy Saving, carbon dioxide reduction, and resource recycling for reuse have been
the clear trend. According to general datum, it shows that household garbage probably
contains about 45% recyclable and reusable resource, and it could become actual value
and profit. Comparing with landfill and incineration, garbage disposal could create
doubling economic benefits, the output, we could get from recycling 1 ton waste, could
be USD100.00 salary reward, or its equivalent USD270.00 product and service, or even
business profit USD130.00.
IV. Household Garbage Disposal
The main specialty of our household garbage disposal plant is no incineration, so that
no water pollution and no emit of carbon dioxide. With this system, no destroy of any
resource material contained in the garbage, easy for operation, and low breakdown, it
can effectively sort out all kinds of resource for recycle and reuse.
V. Operation
First stage: have all operators realize recyclable/non-recyclable materials, such as
ferrous/non-ferrous metals, paper, and all kinds of containers, and its
category.
Second stage: raise the manual sieving speed up to 12-15 m/minute and systematically
classify all different kinds of material, based on its property and color,
and have all sorted categories well packed as paper brick, bottle brick, etc.
to reduce its volume. Meanwhile, we will work with all operators for
training and the transfer of operation skill.
VI. Value Re-creation
The resource being classified through above mentioned sorting process can be further
classified again with another disposal line, for example:
3
1. Electric wire: copper and its PVC cover
2. Plastic product: plastics with same color can be pelletized through extruder.
3. Foamed plastic: EPS
The price of LDPE, HDPE, PP in the market (Oct. 2007) is about NTD50.0 to
NTD60.0/kg; PS NTD51.0/kg; and PVC NTD32.0/kg.
VII. Direction for Understanding Resource Classification and
Recycling Benefit
Garbage is a mix of many kinds of different material, and it contains complicated
categories. They can be classified into general waste, business waste, construction
waste. This system is mainly for the classification of general waste, not including
business waste and construction waste.
For general waste, its three categories, resource garbage, organic garbage, and others,
are displaced in the following graph:
The Ingredient of General Garbage
25%
45%
30%
■ Resource garbage ■ Organic garbage ■ Other garbage
In order to let the investor understand the garbage categories further, the followings
provide more detail information about its classification and recycling benefits
