Commissioned Report
Peer-reviewed Article
In 日本LCA学会誌
本稿は、環境研究総合推進費（JPMEERF20193002）による研究成果の概要を報告するものである。当該研究では、第 1 に、物質ライフサイクルの 6 つの断面（環境からの資源投入、生産工程への原材料投入、生産工程での原材料利用、製品の使用、使用済み製品の処理、環境への廃物廃棄）に基づいて物質フロー・ストックの指標群を提案した。主要な素材について物質フローデータベースを構築し、主要な指標を適用してその有用性を示した。第 2 に、環境・経済・社会に対する統合的な取組を評価する手法を開発した。産業連関分析に基づく手法については、これを主要な資源循環の取組に適用し、その有用性を示した。また、「循環型社会ビジネスの市場規模」指標について、新たな対象事業とその分類を提案し、推計例を示した。第 3 に...

In 事業構想
2022年４月に施行されたプラスチック資源循環法。一年半が経過し、生活の中でもプラスチックの扱いに変化が見られるようになっている。事業者間では、循環を可能にする組織間連携が模索されるようになった。一方海外では欧州を中心に、より積極的かつ厳しいプラ資源の循環を実現する政策が検討されている。 「プラスチックに係る資源循環の促進等に関する法律」（以下、プラスチック資源循環法）が2022年4月に施行された。この法律は、国内の循環型社会政策の中でも、素材を軸とした分野横断的な法律であり、循環型社会の形成に向けた新たな政策の方向性を示したものといえる。 同法では、製品のデザインや回収の効率化、削減を念頭に置いた使用合理化などに向けた各種制度が定められているが、施行以後...

In Earth System Governance
Mini-lateral ‘clubs’ occupy an increasingly prominent place in the international environmental governance landscape. Yet few studies have looked at how differences between clubs influence the results they produce. This paper aims to fill this gap in understanding by testing hypotheses on how different clubs’ membership constellations and leadership...
