Introduction (1)On-going industrial development & intense human activitieslead to serious environmental pollutionTaiwan EPA currently implementing various policies to manage air & water pollution, toxic substances, waste disposalEach EPA department established independent pollutant data, resulting in:
– Lack of integration for data from different systems– Inability of local governments to verify the accuracy of reported
data– Repetitive reporting of baseline data – Significant waste of human and financial resources

System utilizes mobilization management tools (Global Positioning System (GPS), RFID System, and PDA Inquiry System) to track waste position during transportation 2,715 vehicles (Oct., 2008) passed system test/inspection.Next 3 years, another 3,000 vehicles will be installed with the tracking system and monitored.

Summary
Complete understanding of material flow and mass balance
– also offer mass balance information to the enterprises Spontaneously monitoring and tracking of waste’s whereaboutsHelp competent authorities uncover illegal activity
– by analyzing material flow & examining pollutant discharges Enhance self-regulation of waste
– by offering enterprises with generation factors, and material flow information etc.
Achieve dual goals of convenient service and environmental control
