the Central Environment Council
Japanese strategy for the Circular Economy
The 4th Fundamental Plan for Establishing
a Sound Material-Cycle Society
1
Rapid increase in waste generation along with the
economic growth
➢ Responsibility of business operators to manage
industrial waste, in addition to municipality’s
responsibility to handle municipal wastes
➢ Serious shortage of landfills and need for
incineration facilities
Awareness for proper treatment of waste and
environmental protection
➢ Need for appropriate recourse circulation such
as recycling
Public Cleansing Act (1954)
Waste Management Act (1970)
➢ Defined the responsibility of business
operators to manage their own waste
➢ Development of basic systems for
industrial waste management
Recycling Acts (1995~)
Historical Background
Basic Act for Establishing
a Sound Material-Cycle
Society (2000)
Collection and disposal of waste as the
obligation of municipalities
➢ Additionally defined the obligation of
national and prefectural governments to
provide financial and technological
support to municipalities
2
Waste discarded on roadsides or vacant lots, piled
up in unsanitary conditions, or ocean dumping
Flies, mosquitoes and rat from waste dump sites
➢ Need for improvement of public health
Public health issues (1945~)
Resource Productivity (1990s~)
Environmental pollution (1960s~)
• Established in 2000 under the initiative of MOEJ
• Basic principles for establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society
• Priorities and measures for “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Heat recovery and Disposal”
• 1st Fundamental Plan for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society in 2003
Basic Act on Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society

1. Measures for waste prevention
2. Measures for appropriate use of recycled resources
3. Promotion of utilization of recycled products
4. Promotion of prior evaluation of products
5. Environmental measures for utilization & disposal
of recycled resources
6. Economic incentives for waste prevention
7. Conduct necessary action survey and build
research systems

3R Concept as Countermeasures for Waste Issues
Reduce
Reuse
Recycling
Energy recovery
Final disposal
Concept of
3Rs
1. Find the best way for the top priority of waste prevention/ avoidance
to reduce waste flow amount in society to a fixed certain level.
2. Utilize and recycle renewable resources as a basic principle. Consider
accumulation of exhaustible resources before recycling.
3. Waste unavoidably generated should be treated by energy recovery
and managed as natural capital at final sinks as much as possible.
3R + Renewable & Recovery
5
Principles of Resource Use based on 3R Concept
Resource productivity improved by 58% and final disposal amount
reduced by 74% due to policy advancement over 15 years since 2000
• Decrease in large-scale public works
• Changes in the industrial structure
• Promotion of recycling based on recycling acts

Through the 4th Industrial Revolution, conduct resource circulation
throughout the entire lifecycle by “providing the necessary products and
services to persons in need, when necessary, and in the necessary amounts.
Strengthening upstream actions
Promotion and evaluation of
business related to 2Rs, incl. sharing
Priority areas
Plastics: Establishment of a “Plastic strategy”
and promotion of accompanying measures
Metals: Promoting the collection and
recycling of small home appliances, along
with the Tokyo 2020 Medal Project
Biomass: National campaign to reduce food
waste, measures against inappropriate recycling
of food waste, and efforts toward food recycling
Stone/ construction materials: Reducing
construction and demolition waste by strengthening

Resource Circulation throughout the entire Lifecycle
1. Strategic approach required for 5 priority areas: plastics, biomass, metals, stone
and construction materials, and solar power generation facilities
2. Following steps needed for comprehensive promotion of plastic resource
circulation:
3. Use human resources and information to connect dispersed things
with values for producing value-adding business models
10
 Reduce use of disposable containers/packaging
and plastics for environmental impact reduction
 Collect and recycle used and unused plastics
thoroughly and effectively
 Enhance practicability of bioplastics and promote
use of alternatives for fossil fuel-derived plastics
Steps for plastic
resource circulation
Plastic Resource Circulation on Premises for Lifecycle
“Resources-Circulating Sphere” was proposed in the 3rd Fundamental Material
Cycles Plan of 2013. It was integrated as “Regional Circular and Ecological Sphere”
in the 5th Basic Environmental Plan and the 4th Fundamental Plan for Establishing
a Sound Material-Cycle.
11
Regional Circular and Ecological Sphere
• Build an optimal scale of recycling
network based on characteristics of
recyclable resources and local
community.
• Develop multi-layered local recycling
networks by circulating recyclable
resources in the local area as much as
possible, and spreading the area for
resource circulation when necessary.
Key points
12
Example 1: Realized higher efficiency and
accuracy of waste sorting by introducing
automatic sorting robots
• The world's first introduction of robots using image
recognition technology to waste sorting processes.
• Improved recycling efficiency may lead to the reduction
in natural resource inputs and CO2 emissions.

Example 2: Promoted secondhand vehicle
use by providing automobile sharing services
• The used car dealer utilizes its database to distribute
part of in-house inventory to car-sharing.
• Expansion of car sharing may realize maximization of
market value with economic and environmental
impacts (incl. CO2 emissions)
