Industrial Development Administration Ministry of Economic Affairs

The circular economy is a key part of the government's Five Plus Two Industries initiative. Since 2018, the Executive Yuan has been carrying out the "Circular Economy Promotion Program." The Ministry of Economic Affairs has set up the "Circular Economy Promotion Office" as a central hub for coordination and resources integration. This office coordinates policies among relevant Ministries, monitors implementation progress, and reports to the Executive Yuan as needed to drive "circular industrialization" and "industrial circulation." Its goals also include promoting industrial symbiosis, facilitating transformation, and enhancing international competitiveness.

Key tasks include:

1. Promoting collaboration among Ministries to create a sound environment for circular economic development.

2. Strengthening research and development capabilities to innovate materials and high-value resource circulation technologies.

3. Encouraging industrial symbiotic clusters to improve resource integration and connections.

4. Promoting circular economic industrialization to increase value and expand business opportunities.

5. Upgrading infrastructure and establishing new circular demonstration zones.
