Abstract
A series of laws on the recycling of waste and waste management under the framework of the Basic Law for Establishing the Recycling-Based Society aim to create a recycling-oriented society in place of throwaway-based society. In order to achieve this object, each target group, in each stage of the manufacturing of goods and waste management, will be expected to make an optimum concern on the recycling-oriented society. Although the expanded producer's responsibility scheme will play an important role in general, it is not applied to the buildings mainly because of the length of their life-cycle.
