Recycling

 Latest update: April 2023 

The Japanese recycling policy is largely administered on the municipal level, and Japanese local governments often own the most recent technology for recycling. Japanese waste differs significantly from European waste. Some recycling companies use a “holistic method”, integrating the disposal of large electronics and white goods into their factory production line, partially in order to remove superficial features and reduce inputs.
