This gave me such a wonderful surprise - I lived in Taiwan for 3 years from 1988, moving there from my New Zealand home, and one of the things I fond hard was the lack of a recycling system! Although there were people who would rummage through the rubbish for aluminum cans to sell for recycling.

I remember too always telling shop assistants I didnt want extra plastic bags (in Chinese) but no-one understanding why I would ask for such a thing.

I’ve always admired Taiwan’s ability to transform, so I am delighted to hear of this transformation.
