And every city should have multiple containers to throw away electronics.

And every city recycle 100% of it's recyclables, which they don't.

This is what I was talking about earlier, I think this is a great step forward.

Recycling is largely a distraction tto take attention away from the root cause: overconsumption.

You mean an incinerator where they burn up “recyclables” for power generation? Because outside of pulling out valuable metals (cans) and sometimes some cardboard, that’s how most of them work

Recycling is the last step, the big companies don’t reduce and rarely reuse so the last step is pretty null and void.

UK here, we have a local waste to energy plant. What can be recycled is, everything else gets turned into electricity, no landfill.

This would have been a moderate step forward in 1965.

I think this new legislation is great, but it does not even come close to solving the problems we have with recycling. All incinerators generate power, most do not make enough to push that back to the grid, see Newton's first law. You can't input fule to destroy something and get more energy out of it than you out into destroying it. The EPA can generate law after law for manufacturing, and local manisapalities can make all the rules they want. Neither of these address the actual recycler. Recycling is a for profit business. They choose the most profitable things to sell off. If they don't have a buyer, or the market is below their cost to sort these items out, they just send them to a landfill.
Legislation to regulate the recycler it what's needed.

The EPA in question is the Taiwan EPA, FYI.

Also, this seems pointless. Plastic recycling doesn't work for the most part. As far as I'm aware Taiwan hasn't fared any better than the US in that respect. Most plastics are burned in power plants for fuel, even those that are separated and sent to recycling bins.

If I could up vote this comment repeatedly, that's what I would do.
