I surveyed about recycling of PC carried out by vendors based on the Law for the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources. Under this law, it is obliged to taking over PC-vendor if it is demanded collection of a PC. However, the disposal of PC to the collection system of PC-vendor is not duty of a company and a consumer. In case of business PC's recycling, PC-vendor carries it out individually. The collection results reaches 680,000 units but is at the uppermost limit, whereby business PC's introduced through lease are disposed of by leasing companies. On the other hand, recycling of household PC, carried out under cooperation with Japan Post, is gradually increased and exceeded 350,000 units. This is because any of cities, towns and villages collecting garbage disposed of by citizens took off PC from an object of garbage collection. However, there are many other disposed household-PC besides recycling systems of PC-vendor. Household appliance stores and some used goods distributors perform taking care of the PC, which became unnecessary with a customer gratis. Collected PC's are recycled by the processing that obeyed law and exceed the targeted value of resources reused rate greatly. In the area of PC, it becomes more important to promote 3R in order to create a sustainable society.
