Reported 12 months ago
On July 2, 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency North District Environmental Management Center, together with the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office, the Internal Affairs Police Force, and the Taoyuan City Environmental Protection Bureau, formed a task force to crack down on a company that falsely claimed to be recycling plastic under permits from the Taoyuan City Environmental Protection Bureau. The company was found to have illegally disposed of waste plastic mixture instead of recycling them, gaining almost NT$100 million in illegal profits by collaborating with another company. Legal actions have been taken against the individuals and companies involved, with nearly NT$100 million in criminal proceeds set to be confiscated. The case serves as a warning for landowners to be cautious when renting out property to prevent illegal waste disposal activities.
