Abstract

This is the report about the first interchange meeting on wastes and recycling by consumers and cisizens. I reported the contents of the research work made by citizens, members of the Japan Society of Waste management Experts and the speechs by the 7 persons. I come to the conclusion that the demdnds from consumers and citizens should be respected by the local self-government, national government and corporations, especially in the field of wastes and recycling.

Key words: demand from consumers and citizens, respotsibilities, local self-government
