Abstract

This article presents an overview of recent movements in waste prevention and reuse in EU and North America, and summarizes the trends from the three viewpoints of object, policy instrument, and jurisdiction. In these countries, methods to measure the effectiveness of waste prevention activities and systems for sharing information on good practices are being developed, and the importance of partnerships is being emphasised. Most countries are concerned with food waste, paper waste, packaging waste, and disposable nappies, while several countries are also paying attention to commercial, industrial, and/or hazardous wastes. Although many of the waste prevention activities are quite similar to those being practiced in Japan, there are some that Japan can learn from. An example is the introduction of coaching methods to promote waste prevention and material reuse.
