Abstract
The regulations on waste treatment in Japan show dynamic movements toward “Establishment of Recycling-based Society”, “Waste Reduction”, “Propulsion of Recycling”, “Reinforcement of Management on Chemical Substances” in considering waste as an environmental risk, “Self Management System” represented by ISO14000 series and “Reinforcement of Regulations and Standards”.To understand the Japanese laws and regulations on waste treatment, understanding of the whole environmental laws and international trends on environment is essential, since Japanese laws and regulations have been reflected by those trends and movements. Especially, “Waste Disposal and Public Cleaning Law” and “Law for Promotion of Utilization of Recyclable Resources” put emphasis on proper treatment of generated waste and recycling for the reduction of waste respectivery, and these two laws are the core of the Japanese waste treatment laws.
