Taiwan's Environmental Ministry Initiates Campaign to Encourage LED Lighting Adoption

The Ministry of Environment in Taiwan has announced a nationwide light bulb replacement campaign running from September 9 to the end of October, aiming to recycle approximately 1,100 tonnes of old light bulbs. The initiative is expected to save 220 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and reduce carbon emissions by 110 million kilograms. Liu Yi-kun, secretary-general of MOENV’s Resource Circulation Administration, emphasized the environmental and economic advantages of switching from traditional incandescent bulbs—often found in household altar lamps and hallway lights—to energy-efficient LEDs, which can save households around NT$2,000 (US$65) in electricity costs annually. The campaign, now in its second year, will involve around 600 participating stores offering incentives for bulb exchanges. Additionally, Hong Pei-fang, deputy general manager of Zhen Yu Hardware, noted that the program has positively impacted LED sales and revenue, highlighting the importance of proper recycling practices for bulbs, which contain toxic materials like mercury.
