Chiayi City has the 2nd highest population density of Taiwan after Taipei City. Incineration plants are a nimby facility for most of people while being a must for everyday basis.

She expects to introduce new technologies to build an eco-friendly sustainable recycling park with top safety and efficiency through learning from the experience of Japan.
The construction plan for Musashino Clean Center was to build a new plant before the demolishment of the old one as the plan of Chiayi City for the new plant, says spokesperson of Environmental Protection Bureau. The design of Musashino Clean Center is based on local bushes. The façade is covered with tiles for greenery to match the surroundings. The building broke the stereotype of a incineration plant and the exterior design won Good Design Award on public facility, civil structure and landscape in 2017.
Meguro Cleaning Factory is one of the recent projects of reconstruction in Japan. The processes of demolishment fulfilled environmental protection measurements as well as environmental monitoring to lower the influence on the quality of everyday living of residents. In addition, there are residential areas, elementary schools, and governmental institutes around the plant with trees planted as the buffer. The exterior design balances well with the green surroundings. The incinerators designed by JFE Corporation won the technology award of Japan Combustion Institute.

CTCI will build an interactive and immersive environment from the experience of Japan to communicate with the citizens and to solve waste disposal in order to increase the quality of living.
