PRTR System
Businesses are obligated to report
the government annually on the release and the transfer of pollutants (345 chemical substances are designated).
16
Urban Soil Pollution Control Measures
“Urban" (non-agricultural) soil pollution cases increased mainly due to urban redevelopment. The chemical and electroplating industries are major causes for soil pollutions. Primal soil contaminants are lead, hexavalent chromium, and trichloroethylene.
In August 1991 Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) for soil pollution was established to deal with soil problem issues. The EQS currently regulates 25 substances after some additions made in 1994.
In November 1994, the “Guidelines for Investigation and Countermeasures for Soil and Groundwater Pollution” was established.
Administrative guidance is provided to industries to promote voluntary clean up of polluted soil.

Green Procurement(1/2)
Meet the Hazardous Chemical Substances Regulations
RoHS (Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment)
Conduct the chemical substances surveyManufacturers must survey the chemical substances contained in the parts and materials to meet the Green Procurement standards.
22
Green Procurement(2/2)
Standardization of chemical substance surveysStandardization will improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the surveys while reducing the burden placed on the suppliers involved in the green procurement surveys.
Establishment of the JGPSSI (Japan Green Procurement Survey Standardization Initiative)To develop the guidelines of standardized green procurement survey, JGPSSI was established by the business voluntary group in 2001. JEITA was engaged in the secretariat functions since February 2002
