摘要

The recycling of secondary metals has played an important role in providing metal resources for the developing economic growth in the past two decades in Taiwan. In 1983, the nation's needs for steel, copper, zinc, and aluminum were supplied through recycling amounting to about 32%, 48%, 80%, 40%, and 15% respectively, for these metals. The recycling process is labor intensive and often accompanied by environmental pollution. Therefore, in 1984 and 1987, the government established two separate mixed metal scrap processing areas in southern Taiwan, to allocate and centralize recyclers. This action has promoted recycling technology and pollution control. There are 352 recycling factories in the two processing areas. The total capital investment has been about NT$ 1.5 billion (about US$ 0.5 billion). More than 85% of the total metal scrap processed in this country was imported in 1988. For the reason of environmental protection, the importance of domestic scrap will increase gradually in the future.

並列摘要

在過去二十幾年来，再生金屬之囘收在提供國内經濟發展所須之金屬資源佔重要之角色。在民國七十二年，再生之鋼鐵、銅、鉛、鋅、及鋁佔各該項金屬所需之量分別為32％、48％、80％、40％、及15％。再生金屬之囘收程序是勞力密集，亦伴隨着環境汚染。因此，政府於民國七十三年及七十六年分別在臺南及高雄設立混合廢五金專業區，在此兩處專業區內，共有352家之囘收廠家，其總投資金額達新臺幣15億元。在民國七十七年進口之廢五金佔總處理量之85％。因環境保護之關係，未來國内之自產廢五金，將逐漸佔重要之地位。
