Abstract
Logistics, composed of production, circulation and consumption, has been one of the primary sources of environmental problems such as exhausts from trucks and factories, and wastes from container packages, etc. However, the extent in which the environment has been affected by the production, circulation, and consumption processes has not been clarified yet preventing the producer, transport service provider, and consumer to find suitable countermeasures to improve logistics activities.
In this study, the amount of pollutant discharge and wastes due to logistics are calculated from three viewpoints : the area unit, the individual products, and the private enterprises.
