日本循环经济的形成与发展

The Formation and Development of Recyclable Economy in Japan

在日本，经济的高速增长，人民生活水平不断提高的同时，“大量生产、大量消费、大量废弃、用完即扔”的生产消费体制既浪费资源，又污染环境，极大地阻碍了社会、经济的持续发展。面对这种状况，日本在全国范围内建立了“再生循环”的社会经济体系，对废弃物进行合理处置、再生利用，从而把产生的废弃物和对生态环境的污染减到了最低限度。这样做，既节约了资源，又保护了环境，也为社会与经济的可持续发展提供了保障。

In Japan, the productionconsumption model-- “mass production, mass trash, throw-away after use” --has triggered the fast economic growth and improvement of people＇s living standard on one hand; While on the other hand it has wasted too much, polluted the environment and hindered the social and economic sustainable development. As such, Japan has set up a nation wide “recycling” social and economic system to recycle the waste and the discarded so that the amount of trash has been reduced to the lowest and the ecosystem has also been alleviated from contamination as much as possible. As a result, the social and economic sustainable development has been maintained properly.
