Inspection of Products with Batteries Reveals Slack Reporting of Recycling, Clearance and Treatment Fees

摘要

An increasing number of products on the market are sold with batteries included. According to results of a recent inspection launched by the EPA, some enterprises providing batteries for toy figurines and lanterns sold in stores are not being reported according to regulations. It was found that these companies are not reporting recycling, clearance and treatment fees, and owe the government a total of 879,000 NT dollars in fees. The EPA has asked related industries to complete all fee reporting procedures and to shoulder due responsibility.
