循環型社会形成に向けた国等やエコマークによるリデュース、リユース（2R）の推進

抄録

Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy have become mainstream throughout the world, but especially in Europe. Resource Efficiency was incorporated in the Leader’s Declaration of the G7 Elmau Summit in June, 2015, whereas “Toyama Framework on Material Cycles” was adopted at the G7 Toyama Environment Minister’s Meeting in May, 2016. Resource Efficiency and Reduce, Reuse and Recycle（3R）efforts undertaken internationally have raised attention to support our discussion today. In Japan, a Circular Society has been a key goal, addressed jointly by public and private sectors, since introduction of the Basic Act for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society and the Act for Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources, both in 2000. For Circular Society initiatives implemented in Japan during the decades since, this report specifically examines the history and activities of Reduce and Reuse（2R）, and then introduces 2R trends related to the Green Public Procurement Law and Type1 Eco Label “Eco Mark” according to ISO14024 as tool encouraging consumers and enterprises to strive for a sustainable society.
