Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss some of the most important factors, including legal, statistical, economic, and organizational factors, that affect the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment or more broadly the recycling of general Electronic-waste in Japan and other countries. In doing so, we emphasize the policy importance of incorporating manufacturing supply chains in the design of environmental management of production systems.

We also point out that the rates of collecting and recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment are relatively low in Japan as well as in the European Union countries. This chapter puts forward some recommendations that need to be taken into account in the public policy debate in order that the current low rates are to be improved.

Nächstes Kapitel Recent Technologies in Electronic-Waste Management

Kusch and Hills (2017) show in particular that an increase of 1000 international $ GDP purchasing power parity (PPP) means an additional 0.5 kg waste electrical and electronic equipment is generated.

We regard environmental management analyses and approaches based on life cycle and supply chain perspectives interchangeably (see, e.g., Hayami et al. (2015) and Hayami and Nakamura (2007)).

This is discussed in Sect. 3.3.

See Japanese Ministry of Justice (2017) and Japanese Ministry of Environemnt (2001).

See Sect. 3.3 for further information regarding the physical border of waste electrical and electronic equipment items to be recycled.
