Abstract
Recently, it is said that many home appliances and PCs are exported to Asian countries. Therefore, the economic effects of recycling and "reusing" in Asia, were estimated quantitatively using a "tree" model, and compared with recycling in Japan. As a result, it has been confirmed that there was a high possibility that recycling and reusing in Asia was carried out by exporters and disposers because it was profitable; especially, A/Cs and PCs. The importance of recycling in Asia has been recognized again.
