Abstract
In this study, the law for recycling specified kinds of home appliances was compared with the EU Directive (WEEE Directive & RoHS Directive). There are common features between the law and EU Directive. For example, one is that the laws had recovery system built by using the selling system, the other one is the laws stated the manufacture being imposed duty in the recycling. However, there were differences between the two in the composition, purpose, object products, role assignment, the burden of recycling expense, collection standard etc.. So, the factors of such differences were discussed. It was thought that the cause existed in the difference in the legal proposal system, recognition of the manufacturer, the civic participation grade, the correspondence of the environmental problems.
