Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment (MOE) unveiled the draft Circular Economy Roadmap at the Asia Pacific Circular Economy Roundtable & Hotspot 2025 (APCER). This marks the first time the APCER has been held in Asia. Taiwan aims to use the event as an opportunity to learn from other countries, refine the draft, and build international partnerships.
Taiwan aims to increase its circularity rate by 2.5 times by 2050, compared with the level in 2020. The roadmap, scheduled for release next year, targets six key industries: textiles, biomass, plastics, architecture and construction, high-tech and electronics, and energy and critical materials. The APCER agenda has been designed to align with these focus areas.
