The Second Recycling Plant of Chung Tai Resource Technology Corporation is located at Taoyuan Environmental Science and Technology Park. It is dedicated in recycling waste lighting, mercury-containing waste, and other green industry with a faith of transforming waste into gold. In 2014, with the approval of Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan, Chung Tai Environmental Resource Education Center was established to promote waste recycling. Currently, it welcomes visitation from organizations, colleges, communities and also foreigners. It aims to promote Taiwan’s world leading green technology and contribute to global protection.
The Second Recycling Plant of Chung Tai Resource Technology Corporation has researched and developed its own waste lighting recycling and processing equipment. The most distinctive feature of the equipment is that it can process 95% of the derivatives from waste lighting into reusable raw material products. With its global-leading technology and equipment, the performance of mercury recovery has reached the highest recovery rate and best purity standard in the field. In addition, the use of waste glass processing technology can effectively reduce the waste of resources.
At present, there are two types of courses at Chung Tai Environmental Resource Education Center. The first course is "Lamp Above the Head Three Feet High—Mercury Pollution and Influence in the Environment." Within two hours of teaching, participants will learn about mercury pollution, how it affects human health, and the ways to avoid its happening. The second course is “Turning Waste Into Treasure—Recycling Waste Lighting and Waste Glass," which teaches participants the correct way to classify waste and to find reusable resources from waste. With some creativity, waste can be transformed into a work of art. At the end of the course, participants will be invited to play with their imagination and create a glass artwork on their own. The material used is the recycled glass from the plant, which activates the concept of environmental protection. This unique handmade souvenir will give participants a wonderful and meaningful memory.
