Electronic waste in Japan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Electronic waste in Japan In 1970, Japan began treating the waste of electronic materials differently from other materials. They hired specially trained workers to dismantle and recycle the electronic material. Unfortunately, the cost of the program was too high to keep the workers employed. Instead, electronic waste was disposed of like all other waste and placed in a landfill. Waste landfills can become a problem for any country, including Japan. ==Current laws==
Two laws have come in effect in Japan to alleviate the landfill and electronic waste problems. The first law was most recently revised in 2001, called the Law for the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources (LPUR).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.meti.go.jp/english/information/data/cReEffect01e.html )〕 This law encourages manufacturers to voluntarily help recycle goods and reduce the generation of the waste. The second law became effective on April 1, 2009, called the Law for the Recycling of Specified Kinds of Home Appliances (LRHA).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.japanfs.org/en/pages/029030.html )〕 This law imposes more requirements on the recycling efforts of both consumers and manufacturers of home appliances. In October, 2003, taxes were imposed on any computer purchased after that date. If a computer was purchased before that date, those wanting to recycle their computer would pay a nominal fee to keep up with recycling costs.
