Because the exhibition industry can bring significant economic benefits and promote international cooperation. It precisely becomes one of the important strategies for current economic development. However, the waste of the exhibition and decoration project has also increased year by year, resulting in waste of resources and increased environmental burden. It is also an important issue in current environmental protection. According to the information released by the Taipei World Trade Exhibition Schedule, the Nangang Exhibition Hall will hold an average of 48 exhibitions per year and produce a large number of non-reusable decoration wastes. This is indeed worthy of our attention at the time for us to promote circular economy policy.
The main purpose of this study is to explore the types, processes and main factors of waste generated by the decoration project during the life cycle of the exhibition, and considerate the circular economy philosophy to propose corresponding measures for reduction those waste. After collecting the domestic and international green exhibitions and circular economy-related promotion policies and regulations, as well as the waste resulting comparison between the standard system decoration and the composition of the wood decoration. and then, obtaining the preliminary waste generating impact factor and its' reduction strategy. Through the expert questionnaires and in-depth interviews, we will summarize and revise the “waste generating impact factors and reduction strategies for exhibition and decoration projects”. In response to the implementation of the "Promoting Taiwan's Exhibition Industry Development Plan - Green Exhibition Industry Overall Plan" proposed by the International Trade Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs for reducing the waste which cannot be recycled in the exhibition and decoration project. those can be an important reference for the relevant authority and company to promote the exhibition plan in the future. The purpose of this study is summarized as follows:
(1) Exploring the causes and main factors of waste generating in exhibition and decoration projects.
(2) Exploring the correlation between the decision-making of the stages during the exhibition life cycle and the generation of decorative waste.
(3) From the circular economy philosophy, discuss the strategies and suggestions for waste reduction in exhibition decoration projects.
Through the analysis of surveys and interviews with experts, this study found that the decision-making to choose system decoration or wood decoration is the main reason for generating non-reusable decoration waste during the exhibition. It also proposes to use the system decoration, the sturdy and easy to assemble and disassemble decoration framework and panel, increase the proficiency of assembly technology, and educate workers with the right attitude to work, as well as introduce the concept of the circular economy. the final waste of the exhibition and decoration project will be physically reduced by "Reuse", "Recycled" and " Reduction-Reduce".
