「環境経営」における家電リサイクルシステム

―「外部委託型」と「内部化型」―

抄録

Recycling System of Electric Appliances has been the first recycling-oriented system in all the industrial area. The system is substantially affected by the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and therefore it naturally attracts as an object of research investigation.
First, this research analyzes whether the system may contribute to “environment conservation”. Second, this research possesses a novelty in geographical focus on Tokai-Hokuriku region, primarily analyzing whether the system may create environmentally-sustainable management.
The results show that the recycling system does not meet the standards to generate a benefit. Problem seems to be threefold : the reduction of logistics cost, the improvement of efficiency of the recycling rate together with reduction of recycling costs, and increase of net profit on sales of recycling.
This project presents first results of the analysis. Proposed improvement of the research lies in an application of longitudinal data, which will be worked on hereafter.
