To address this, Taiwan's government is actively implementing its 5+2 industrial innovation plan to promote a circular economy. The key to successfully drive this circular economy effort is for companies to align and jointly adopt sustainable supply practices. This is a multi-year effort involving development of new technologies, talent and processes. Establishing a model circular economy zone will help expedite this process of adopting sustainable supply practices in Taiwan and with its global trading partners.
