Minister Without Portfolio Hsun-hsiung Tsai of Taiwan

received enthusiastically by Taiwan’s Central American allies.

Current EPA Administrator Hsun-Hsiung Tsai has from early on wanted to promote a concept of "waste life cycle responsibility.

Tsai said the spending, which has to be legislated, has yet to be approved by Vice Premier Paul Chiu.

Tsai said an alternative plan currently being considered by the EPA was that the Legislative Yuan actually revise the terms of the Waste Disposal Act to charge raw material providers for recycling in addition to container manufactures.
