Evaluating effects on the flow of electrical and electronic equipment and energy consumption due to alternative consumption patterns in China
In this paper, we evaluated the effects of consumer’s behavioural changes on usage and disposal of home appliances. With the model to estimate the product circulation, first we conducted the sensitivity analysis with the six parameters, namely urbanisation, household size, Gini coefficient, product lifetime and selection rate of used product and high energy efficiency product. Then, secondly we evaluated CO2 emission and e-waste generation from f…
Promoting Sustainability with Ecological, Economic and Social Dimensions in Developing Countries
Comparative analysis of socio-economic and environmental performances for Chinese EIPs
New Risk Management Training Programs in Higher Education in Japan – A Comparative Study and a Challenge by Osaka University
Risks such as health risks derived from hazardous chemicals, energy security associated with electric power supply, and accidental risks at work need to be coped with by professionals in the areas concerned. Risk managers must deal with numerous different topics. They are expected to be familiar with legal requirements, scientific analysis methods, management strategies, and communication skills. Many firms in the USA and Europe already employ ce…
The pathway to a sustainable industrial society – initiative of the Research Institute for Sustainability Science (Riss) at Osaka University
While it is widely known that sustainable development is the only sound and viable pathway for humankind’s future, its attainment remains elusive despite intensive efforts and some successes. The current industrial society approach based on product and process innovation in a variety of fields is not providing the expected results in addressing this important issue. In an attempt to carry out this unavoidable task, Osaka University’s Research Ins…
Eco‐efficiency of Advanced Loop‐closing Systems for Vehicles and Household Appliances in Hyogo Eco‐town
The closing of material loops is a critical challenge in industrial ecology. It relies mainly on the utilization of recovered materials/parts/products in the original and principal production system while their original function is retained at the highest level possible. In this study, advanced loop‐closing systems for the recycling of end‐of‐life vehicles and electric household appliances are first designed in “Hyogo Eco‐town.” Second, a methodo…
