Construction

• At the designing stage, consider the use of materials and energy systems of low CO₂ emission.
• In future, set up a concrete CO₂ reduction target and make efforts to attain it.
• As an emission source of CO₂, construction activities' 1.3% is small. However, construction-related activities account for one-third of all Japan. Therefore, the construction industry will coordinate with related industries to grapple with the problem.

• By the year 2000, the final disposal rate of waste shall be reduced to 20% and the recycling rate raised to 80%. (The recycling rate includes the outage rate.)

Measures

• Thorough restriction of waste generation.
• Promotion of complete recycling.
• Strict observance of proper disposal.
