| Research Abstract |
In the field of sound material-cycle society making, international norms have certain degrees of influence between each country and city, although an international regime has not established. The Principle of EPR (extended producer responsibility) originated in Sweden and spread across Europe and OECD countries in the 1990s. The EPR Principle is among such norms. The beginning of the 21st century witnessed a rapid expansion of the EPR Principle among non-OECD countries.
This study explored how and why this international norm was formed and developed, and empirically traced and clarified the cycle of the EPR principle within interactions among international, regional, national and local levels. This study also investigated the national and local acceptance and implementation of the EPR principle in Sweden by analyzing interactions among actors, namely national government, local government, producers, relevant companies, and citizens, and compared those with the case of Japan.
