CONTENTS1. Present State of Japanese Waste Management in FY2003-Amount of discharge and treatment system and method- Cost of waste treatment

2. Challenges of Japanese Waste Management- Control of National Government (subsidy and regulation)- High dependency on hardware (Incineration and land fill) and high cost- Promotion of Plastic waste incineration for the extension of the life of landfill site- Closed decision making process (lack of citizen participation)- Lack of communication and discussion among stake holders.- Increased law suit concerning construction of incinerator and selection of land fill

site.3. Environmental Risk concerning Waste Treatment- Air Pollution by trace chemicals (dioxins, metals and VOCs etc.) emitted from the

stacks of incinerators and melting furnaces (Pyrolysis )of MSW and industrial wastes.

- Most of the citizens are concern about plastic waste incineration as thermal recovery

- Citizen Participatory pine needle monitoring of ambient air- Citizen Participatory soil monitoring for heavy metals

4. What we need towards Zero Waste in future- Local autonomy, citizen participation, stakeholder involvement,- Alternative technology and measures for incineration and landfill

Serious problems of waste policies in Japan.1. Government promotes policies put too much emphasis on hardware

such as incinerators or melting furnaces(pyrolysis).2. They just think that wastes will be generated and must be properly

incinerated and land filled. (Waste ≠ Resources) 3. End of pipe Excessive dependence on technology4. Excessive dependence on national subsidies Municipalities are

subordinated to National government 5. Government is unconscious of expenses unfair cost burden6. No one takes the responsibility = the lack of EPR, PPP principle7. Unconsciousness of consideration for environmental impact.

(Impact on Area-wide, global, next generation, eco-system)8. On one hand government (Municipalities) actually decides policies

without people’s opinion; on the other, the people tend to put the problems under the government decision.   Citizen Involvement, participation is necessary.

More democratic decision making process is necessary.

Financial Burden of Resource Recovery inMunicipalities (in case of Nagoya City)

・Nagoya City declared Emergency for her solid waste treatment in 1998, becauseshe had no additional space to dump the solid waste in Nagoya Bay.・The emission volume of waste had decreased gradually, but on the contrary, the

resource recovery increased. This makes Nagoya City serious for the financialburden for the cost of collection and storage of recovered resources.

Dioxin Concentration Levels in Ambient Air had decreased!However, the state of waste has not changed dramatically.1 The waste has been incinerated in decade. ・The amount of waste has not decrease. ・Carbon dioxide and hazardous substance have emitted by Incineration

in order to reduce the volume of garbage. ・Total amount of final disposal (landfill) has decrease, but that of bottom ash

has not decrease so much.(13% reduction in decade)2 Recycle rate has not increased so much. ・Recycle rate is only 11%. ・Including the amount of collection by residents ,recycle rate had increased

from 9% to 17% only.3 The number of incinerator had decreased under Law of

controlling Dioxins (Emission regulations etc.). ・Although the number of incinerators had decreased by 500 in decade, the

amount of waste had not decreased. It was a vicious circle~The capacityof the incinerator is raised The amount of waste increases Again theincinerator is improved…

The future challenges – waste problems・Government try to promote charging(a tax) on the MSW

treatment. But the effect for waste reduction is not sure.• Government try to promote incineration of plastic waste and

to popularize the thermal recycling(thermal recovery). But the risk of plastic incineration has not assessed enough.

• Government revised the law that allows the MSW to be incinerated together with the industrial waste. But the risk of mix incineration was not considered.(Increase of Risk)

• How about the hazardous substances (especially heavy metals, PAHs etc.) exhausted from the melting furnaces (Pyrolysis) increasing all over Japan?

• The incineration condition is to be worsened as mentioned, but the monitoring of the emission source (incinerators) will not be done sufficiently.

The future challenges – waste policies • To make systems for stronger and effective EPR• To revise Law for Promotion of Sorted Collection and

Recycling of Containers and Packaging. • To make the laws related to recycling function

effectively. • Not to increase the financial burden of Municipality

caused by waste collection and resource recycling.• To power up the autonomy of each Municipality as

an independent local government and to promote own waste policies. Not dependent too much on subsidies.

• To ascertain that a slag from melting furnaces and eco-cement facilities can be used effectually.

The Sufficient Observation of Dioxins<observation and regulation of emission source>● It’s important to strengthen observation and

regulation of hazardous substances from emission gas. Concerning the measurement of dioxins in emission gas,

government had introduced an easier method into the official method.   But, hereafter, it is feared to increase the dioxin

concentration in the air because of incineration (melting) of plastics and industrial waste.  The measurement of hazardous substances in emission

should de done more precisely (continuously) and fairly.
