Development of board game to encourage life cycle thinking, and trial with university students in Japan
A key aspect of encouraging people's awareness about carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with various products is penetration of life cycle thinking (LCT). LCT is not a simple concept and should be connected with daily behaviors; it is important to learn LCT not only in primary but also in higher education. Many previous studies suggested that active learning and games can increase the effectiveness of the learning. Against this backdrop, w…
Socioeconomic Metabolism Takes the Stage in the International Environmental Policy Debate
Decoupling Analysis of Four Selected Countries
We examine decoupling conditions of domestic extraction of materials, energy use, and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions from gross domestic product (GDP) for two BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries (i.e., China and Russia) and two Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) countries (Japan and the United States) during 2000–2007, using a pair of decoupling indicators for resource use ( D r ) and waste emissions ( D …
Paper and Paperboard Demand and Associated Carbon Dioxide Emissions in Asia Through 2050
This study estimated paper and paperboard demand, pulpwood demand, and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from production of paper and paperboard through 2050 in ten Asian countries. Under scenarios of varying population, gross domestic product (GDP), and per capita paper and paperboard demand, we analyzed the relationship between economic growth and consumption of paper and paperboard. We also evaluated options to reduce CO 2 emissions through inc…
Toward a Low Carbon–Dematerialization Society
Rapid industrialization and urbanization has been occurring in China since the introduction of the opening‐up policy in 1978. The demands of building and infrastructure construction have increased rapidly, especially in the transportation and housing sectors in China. Large amounts of construction materials have been required in building construction and maintenance of the railway and road systems, especially steel and cement. Continued cement an…
Resource Use in Growing China
Natural resources provide the basis for our life on Earth. This article presents the accounts of China's direct material input (DMI) during 1998–2008. Using decomposition, we examine factors that have influenced changes in recent resource use in China. China's resource demand in 2011–2015 is projected, based on China's 12th Five‐Year Plan. Finally, effective policies to restrain China's resource demand are discussed with the following conclusions…
Decomposition Analysis of Waste Generation From Stocks in a Dynamic System
We conducted a decomposition analysis of material flows in a dynamic system, focusing on factors in the generation of waste consumer durables. A methodology for the analysis of consumer durables was developed and applied to three common consumer durables: cathode ray tube TVs, refrigerators, and passenger cars. The methodology decomposed changes in the numbers of waste products into three factors: changes in lifespan distribution, past trends in …
Linkages Among Resources, Climate, and Asian Growth
Recent Developments in Material Cycle Policies
What Factors Have Changed Japanese Resource Productivity
In 2003, the Fundamental Plan for Establishing a Sound Material‐Cycle Society was developed; it established indicators and numerical targets for each of three aspects of material flows in Japan. One of the three indicators is resource productivity: Gross domestic product divided by direct material input (GDP/DMI). This article elucidates factors that have changed recent resource‐use intensity (the inverse of resource productivity) in Japan. Speci…
The environmental and economic consequences of product lifetime extension
System Boundary Selection in Life-Cycle Inventories Using Hybrid Approaches
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a method for evaluating the environmental impacts of products holistically, including direct and supply chain impacts. The current LCA methodologies and the standards by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) impose practical difficulties for drawing system boundaries; decisions on inclusion or exclusion of processes in an analysis (the cutoff criteria) are typically not made on a scientific basis.…
