| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
While recyclables trade is economically efficient in terms of international specialization, it intensify environmental loads in developing countries. This study analyze the case of Japan-China recyclables trade and recycling.
Since China has cost-advantage in producing recycled materials and Japan has technical-competitiveness in recycled products, vertical specialization in recycling process is economically efficient. However, recycled products using low-quality recycled materials are not often suitable for multicycle recycling. In order to promote the multi-cycle international specialization, it is necessary to support measures of recycling technology improvement in China.
