Join us on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at 2 p.m. EDT for our next foreign, comparative, and international law webinar, “Making the Economy Circular: Recycling Laws and Policies in Japan.”
This webinar aims to offer an overview of Japan’s advanced recycling law and policy. The Japanese sort out recycling materials in different categories, keeping them neat and tidy. People are educated on how to recycle, such as “rinse your bottles and containers before putting them in recycling bins.” There are laws on the recycling of automobiles and household appliances. Even though there are numerous laws in place for Japan’s recycling system, some studies still rate Japan’s system low. However, there are tricks on statistics and differences of views on what is considered the best recycling system. This webinar will try to realistically review Japan’s recycling system and explain the statistics surrounding the studies on Japan’s recycling.
