Taiwan, known for its subtropical position and diverse topography, is blessed with an abundance of high quality agricultural products. However, the increase in agriculture waste production has led to a significant increase in agricultural waste. According to the Council of Agriculture’s statistics, agricultural waste in Taiwan reached 4.96 million metric tons in 2021, with most of them disposed by tilling, burying on site and composting. Recycling of agricultural waste has therefore become an important issue due to the increased environmental awareness throughout the society.
