To reduce the consumption of paper and improve administrative efficiency, the New Taipei City Government transitioned to a fully paperless system for the review of construction licenses and issuance of use permit copies in 2021, thereby substantially reducing paper usage for blueprint review. With around 900 construction applications and design changes being submitted annually, going paperless is projected to reduce A4 paper consumption by nearly 1.01 million sheets annually, which saves a stack of sheets as high as Banqiao Train Station. In addition to the attainment of energy-saving and carbon-reduction goals, the paperless process also reduces processing time by nearly 90%. These paperless measures will be expanded in the future.
