On September 28, 2026, the “Resource Recycling Policy and Technology Exchange Forum” was held at the University of Sydney, Australia, organized by the “2026 Taiwan-Australia Resource Circulation and Asia-Pacific Circular Economy Hotspot Exchange” delegation—jointly formed by the Resource Circulation Administration of the Ministry of Environment and the Taiwan Resource Circulation Industry Promotion Association. Tsung-Lin Hsieh, President of leading domestic circular economy enterprise Taiwan Steel Union Co., Ltd., was invited to attend and deliver a featured presentation.

The forum centered on in-depth dialogue between Taiwan and Australia regarding resource circulation policies and sustainable technologies. In his speech, titled “Sharing Experiences in Dual-Axis Transformation: Smart and Low-Carbon Practices in Taiwan’s EAF Dust Resource Recovery Facility,” President Hsieh detailed how by-products generated by Taiwan’s electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmakers are recovered to drive a 100% circular economy. He also shared Taiwan Steel Union’s achievements in decarbonization and intelligent transformation, demonstrating the practical application of “urban mining” and closed-loop resource circulation.

Leveraging the international platform of the University of Sydney, the exchange not only highlighted Taiwan’s technological resilience in transforming steel industry by-products into valuable resources, but also paved the way for substantive bilateral cooperation in regional resource circulation networks and carbon reduction technologies, moving forward together toward net-zero sustainability goals.
