Abstract

Based on environmental voluntary guidelines for Kirin Group, we have been trying to minimize packaging wastes generatcd after the consumption of our products. A lighter refillable bottle is a good example of our attempts.<BR>We put much importance on the following two characteristics of the new packaging waste law : (1) to identify shared responsibility among consumers, municipalities and industries, (2) to encourage all packaging wastes for recycling.<BR>Now we need to develop an appropriate market for secondary resources and to minimize the “social cost” for disposal and recycling. It is unavoidable that a recycling plan for packaging wastes is carried out, exclusive of household wastes, which aren't mentioned in the new law.
