Introduction of SPGESCP 2. Missing Link 3R flow 3. Need for connecting 3R and impact on Policy Options 1

2 Japan info slides are sourced from Jiro Hiratsuka, MOEJ 24 Natural Resources Input Production (Manufacturing, Distribution, etc.) First: Reduction Reduce waste, by-products, etc. Second: Reuse Use items repeatedly. Consumption Third: Material Recycling Recycle items which cannot be reused as raw materials. Treatment (Recycling, Incineration, etc.) Discarding Fourth: Thermal Recycling Recover heat from items which have no alternatives but incineration and which cannot be recycled materially. Fifth: Proper Disposal Dispose of items which cannot be used by any means. Landfill disposal If the above-mentioned order seems not to contribute to the reduction of the environmental load, exceptions are permitted 3 so that different orders can be adopted.

14 Effect to GDP and Importance for the Poor (Informal Sector?) The agriculture, fisheries and forestry classification in GDP reflects an increasing trend on the total value of resources consumed. With respect to total GDP, it resembles a downward sloping trend with much of the impact felt on the last year of the period covered. While food production shows a steady rise, its contribution to GDP becomes less through time. Effect to GDP and Importance for the Poor (Informal Sector?) The same declining trend may be observed in the electricity, gas and water category while the opposite may be seen in mining and quarrying where its contribution to GDP rises. Other components of GDP may have had greater contribution to the economy than the former (services sector). 14

While the contribution of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry to GDP has gone low, employment has mildly followed the same trend with slight decreases from 32.77% in 22 to 31.75% in 28 With regard to poverty incidence, fishermen and farmers account for the highest percentages for all categories, slightly going up in 26 with 49.9% and 44%, respectively. 15
