摘要

目標：本文旨在目前醫療事業廢棄物中間處理妥善處理率可達90%以上的過程及原因，做為其他事業廢棄物處理之借鏡。方法：藉整理、分析各階段公民營機構投入醫療廢棄物處理之法令政策與技術管理策略，探討不同階段其處理設施與妥善處理率相關性，以瞭解其中可能的成功因素。結果：發現可能的成功因素包括：(1)目的事業主管機關補助公立醫院興建醫療廢棄物處理設施；(2)國有財產法允許公有設施可以對外營業；(3)主管機關輔導民營代處理業加入營運；(4)主管機關有效的稽查管制；(5)衛生和環保主管機關充分合作；(6)醫界充分配合政府之廢棄物處理政策。結論：台灣地區其他事業廢棄物之妥善處理率偏低，各目的事業主管機關可以參考本地已成功之模式，妥善處理其廢棄物，以改善台灣地區環境品質。

Objectives: This paper explores industrial waste treatment in light of current successes in the treatment of medical waste. The proper intermediate treatment rate for medical waste has exceed-ed 90%. The reasons and stages behind this achievement provide a possible model for improving treatment for other types of industrial waste. Methods: Regulatory and technical management methods practiced by public institutions at different stages were used to analyze the relationship between treatment facilities and treatment rates at different stages to understand reasons for successful implementation. Results: These reasons include: (1 )subsidies by the competent industrial authority to public hospitals for the construction of medical waste treatment facilities, (2)authorization by the public properties law for public facilities to be run by private operators, (3)government techni-cal assistance to help private contractors undertake such operations, (4)effective controls and au-diting by the competent industrial authority, (5)full cooperation between health and environmental department, (6)full cooperation with government waste treatment policies by the medical sector. Conclusion: Proper waste treatment rates for other industrial sectors tends to be low. All compe-tent industrial authorities should study local successful models, which will help them to treat industrial wastes properly and improve Taiwan's environment.
