Abstract :
The maintenance of lawful domestic recycling systems is certainly essential. And so, many products leaking out of lawful systems are recognized. However, the actual condition of leaked products has not been identified. For achieving ecodesign of multilateral recycling systems in Asia, it is necessary to clarify the condition of these leaked products. Then it is tried to identify the condition using the recycling profit analysis model. These results show that material recycling utilized in Asian areas produce more profits from several hundreds to thousands of yen per product, than that of Japan. Regarding the reuse of the products and their parts, marine transportation costs have a large effect on the secondhand business and its strategies
