全球鋅產業的循環經濟與競合：以台懋實業股份有限公司為例
Co-opetition Within the Global Zinc Industry’s Circular Economy - A Case Study of Diamonchem International Co., Ltd.
摘要
隨著全球人口持續增長，產業對原材料的需求日益增加，又因氣候變遷等因素所以近年原材料的循環經濟原則和永續性也引起了產業界、學術界和政府單位的高度關注。現今企業面臨諸多挑戰，包括資源枯竭、材料成本波動、嚴格的政府法規以及消費者對透明度和可持續性的日益增長的需求而循環經濟則是應對這些挑戰的有效策略之一，循環經濟強調設計具有長久壽命的產品、鼓勵重複使用和維修、確保可回收性、優化資源和能源效率，以及優先考慮可持續來源。此策略不僅降低了資源枯竭的風險，還促進了創新，並提供了競爭優勢。 本研究探討了「競合」，競爭者透過策略性合作以推動鋅產業間的循環經濟。通過整合循環經濟原則，公司可以減少對有限資源的依賴，穩定材料成本，並滿足法規和消費者的期望。該研究採用質性研究方法，包括綜合文獻回顧和專家訪談，探討了如何將一個部門的廢棄物和副產品轉化為另一個部門的資源。這樣便形成了一個可持續的工業生態系統，企業可以將廢棄物轉化為有價值的原材料。 研究結果強調了競合在推動循環經濟中的重要性，顯示跨部門合作可以幫助公司應對稀缺資源和法規遵循等挑戰。通過互補策略，共享知識和資源，公司可以優化資源利用、管理環境影響，並創造新的商業機會。本研究為競合與循環經濟的文獻貢獻了實證證據，支持了循環經濟模型的發展。它也為實務工作者提供了實用的見解，幫助其實施競合策略，以最大化資源效率並達成可持續發展目標。這與聯合國可持續發展目標（UN SDGs）中關於可持續產業、創新和基礎設施的相關目標相契合。

As the global population grows, the demand for raw materials intensifies, drawing significant attention to circular economy and sustainability from industries, academia, and policymakers. Businesses face challenges such as resource depletion, material cost fluctuations, stringent government regulations, and increasing consumer demands for transparency and sustainability. One effective strategy to address these issues is adopting circular economy principles, which involve designing products for longevity, encouraging reuse and repair, ensuring recyclability, optimizing resource and energy efficiency, and prioritizing sustainable sourcing. This approach not only mitigates resource depletion risks but also fosters innovation and provides competitive advantages. This study investigates the role of "co-opetition"—strategic collaboration among competitors—in promoting a circular economy within the zinc industry. By integrating circular economy principles, companies can reduce reliance on finite resources, stabilize material costs, and meet regulatory and consumer expectations. The study employs a qualitative research approach, including a comprehensive literature review and expert interviews, to explore how waste and by-products from one sector can serve as resources for another. This creates a sustainable industrial ecosystem, where companies can turn waste into valuable raw materials. The findings highlight the importance of co-opetition in advancing the circular economy, demonstrating that cross-sector collaboration can help companies address challenges like resource scarcity and regulatory compliance. Through complimentory strategy, by sharing knowledge and resources, companies can optimize resource use, manage environmental impacts, and create new business opportunities. This research contributes to the literature on co-opetition and circular economy by providing empirical evidence supporting the development of circular economy models. It also offers practical insights for practitioners on implementing co-opetition strategies to maximize resource efficiency and achieve sustainability goals. This aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) related to sustainable industry, innovation, and infrastructure.
