Working to strengthen management over the clearance and treatment of mandatory recyclable waste containers, the EPA promulgated revisions to the Methods and Facility Standards for Recycling, Storage, Clearance and Treatment of Waste Containers on 5 February 2007, effective from day of promulgation. Recycling and treatment enterprises undertaking the recycling, storage, clearance and treatment of mandatory recyclable containers are required to comply with relevant regulations to strengthen pollution prevention and recycling and reuse. The EPA indicates that the Methods and Facility Standards for Recycling, Storage, Clearance and Treatment of Waste Containers have not been revised since first promulgated on 11 September 2002. In addition to revising dubious interpretations in the original regulation, the EPA has bolstered pollution prevention facilities and measures for certain procedures and methods likely to generate pollution during the stages of recycling, storage, clearance and treatment of mandatory recyclable containers. The EPA has also reinforced treatment methods for mandatory recyclable containers to increase the efficiency of recycling and reuse work.
