First: Generation control

Reduce

Reduce the waste generation

Second: Reuse

Reuse Reuse the used materials repeatedly

Final disposal

Third: Recycle

Recycle Things, albeit not recyclable, are regenerated as resources

Fifth: Proper disposal When there is no other means of disposal, dispose of them in a proper manner.

Forth: Heat recovery In the case of an unrecyclable waste, for which there is no other way of treatment than incineration, the heat generated by incineration is recovered for power generation and the residual heart thereof is used for other purposes

"Sound Material-Cycle Society" means a society in which the consumption of natural resources will be conserved and the environmental load will be reduced to the greatest extent possible, by preventing or reducing the generation of wastes, etc. from products, etc., by promoting proper cyclical use of products, etc. and proper disposal of waste.

Critical Waste Problems in Asia

Source: Studies on Estimated Amounts of Waste Generated in the World and

Future Prospects, by Masaru Tanaka

In line with the economic growth and population increase, mainly in Asia, the amount of waste generation has been increasing worldwide, the quality of waste diversifying as well. The global waste generation is expected to more than double in 2050, compared to the 2010 level.
