Wastes are products of the modern society, and New Taipei City is just one of the many cities in Asia where waste is being produced in excess of environmental capacity. Veolia’s innovative strategies go above and beyond, turning waste management in the city into a model for green and sustainable solutions.
Effective management of waste is critical for the wellbeing of people and environment in Taiwan’s largest county.
New Taipei City is Taiwan’s most populous city and boasts robust industries in high technology, tourism and service. However, the rapid accumulation of waste and associated pollution is posing risks to the city’s environment and thriving development. The local government needs a partner to help manage the volumes of waste, uphold environmental sanitary standards and find a more sustainable way forward.

Waste-to-Energy Projects
The Veolia Solution
Veolia installed Waste-to-Energy systems in a New Taipei City incineration plant where the heat energy generated during refuse incineration is used to produce electric power. The project is designated, and receives as many as 20,000 visitors each year, as a model environmental protection facility in Taiwan, and is recognised by the Taiwan Environmental Protection Bureau for its superior performance.
Veolia is commissioned by the Environmental Protection Bureau of the New Taipei City Government to operate the BaLi Refuse Incineration Plant. The facility is equipped with three Volund mechanical grate incinerators and can treat over 400,000 tons of waste per year. The heat energy produced during combustion is used to heat up water in a boiler and generate steam, which powers turbine generators that produce electricity enough to accommodate the daily use of the city’s population of 160,000. The building’s modern glass-curtain exterior is designed by a firm led by renowned architect I.M. Pei, which underscores the BaLi Refuse Incineration Plant’s role as Taiwan’s model sustainable facility.
Veolia transformed an incineration plant in Taiwan into a showcase for environmental protection and sustainability innovation.
