15. 15 PRTR System Businesses are obligated to report the government annually on the release and the transfer of pollutants (345 chemical substances are designated).

16. 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.

21. 21 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 survey  Manufacturers must survey the chemical substances contained in the parts and materials to meet the Green Procurement standards.

22. 22 Green Procurement(2/2)  Standardization of chemical substance surveys  Standardization 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
