| Research Abstract |
This research investigated a set of prototype business models widely collecting the small home appliances and the attached rare metals initiated by Fukuoka prefecture and the cooperated local governments in Kyushu Island, and focused on a lot of “box collection” points set at public and private facilities by each government. The investigation implied some attractive policies and ideas in order to increase the amount of box collection of the used products. On the other hand, the research constructed some decision making models including the resource recycling route in a microeconomic framework. If a consumer could choose two ways of collection, by throwing the used products into the box set in the city or by emitting them as daily garbage (called a “pick-up collection”), the amount of box collection does not increase for an increasing inconvenience even if the garbage fee is going up.
