Distinguished Features of C&P Waste (cc ELV,WEEE)

1. Short Life of Products(ELV 20ys, WEEE 10ys)

2. Simple design, limited influence on DfE

3. Compare to Industrial waste, less Volume

4. Many Stakeholders(Bottle Makers, Containers,

Disutributors, Recyclers, etc)

1. very close relation with citizen’s dairly life.3

Extended Producer

Responsibility

Business Entities:Recycling

Consumer:Reducion of C&P Waste ,Sorted Discarding

Municipalities:Sorted collection of C&P waste

The Characteristics of Japanese C&P Recycling system

1. Collecting household waste (not including office waste)⇒High quality sorting

2. Municipality Voluntary Participation System(Each municipality need to decide whether to make plan or not)

3. Range covered is wide⇒All the C&P Waste is collected.

4. Recycle Marks are sealed 8 materials.But the collecting system differes depending on municipality.

Background of Japanese EPR style1. Long History of Citizen’s sorting and collecting

household waste system, co-operating withmunicipality.

2. ⇒Successful recycling system3. ⇒How Business entity could co-operate to this

System?4. ⇒Japanese EPR(so called Partial EPR System)⇓5. Sorting high quality materials,Co-operating system

with those involved.

Outcome of Japanese System1. Business entity’s effort to make lighter weight and

thinner.2. Increasing the amount of recycling.3. Increasing participation of municipalities and having

successful municipality collection system led to gain the community power,also high quality materials.

Ongoing Problems

1. Increasing recycle , not reducing. Need to change the behavior. But How?

2. Increasing recycle but not cost efficiency, high cost in recycling.

3. Because of high quality recycled material,items are exported to foreign countries.

4. A gap exists among stakeholders.

Toward a FutureLimited capacity in DfE, so what is Next?⇒Need to change the behavior by information sharing⇓Who could give the information which could lead environmental friendly purchasing ?Who could give the forum for communication?Who could change the behavior?

Page 14: Symposium case 1 A. Ori, experience from japan containers&packaging recycling law

What should be Consider?How to strengthen partnership!Sharing Information!Shared responsibility needs Common Goal!(EPR is policy tool not the goal itself)Talking about recycle efficiency ,with citizen’s work-load. Citizens also need incentive. What?⇒Visualice the outcome of their acts.

Questions from CitizensIs Plastic Mark equal to Recycle Mark?Why could’nt we discard toys with thepackaging Waste?Why could’nt we discard cleaning bag?Why is garbage collection system different in each municipality?How much we should clean the dirty?Why do we have to take off the bottle Cap?

•To state clearly that an EPR policy cannot be designed appropriately by considering producers’ roles and responsibility only.

•Information provision and informative producer responsibility plays a key role,
