Japan's Environmental Technology Markets - Japan's
environmental technology market is the world's second largest
and therefore present tremendous opportunities for foreign
companies with innovative environmental technologies, machinery
or services.
The present report gives a thorough overview of the main issues
facing Japan in the area of environmental pollution, waste
removal and incineration, recycling, lean production, life
cycle assessment and environmental quality management. Japan
is placing increasing importance on environmental protection,
energy saving recycling, global warming and other environmental
issues. This is clearly expressed also by the fact, that Japan's
former Environmental Agency was recently upgraded to a full
Ministry, which gives it this authority a lot more power in
Japan to formulate and implement environmental policies.
This report is mainly addressed to US and European corporations
planning to enter Japan's environmental markets with new products
or services, and this report will also be interesting for
anyone needing to know about the status of Japan's environmental
issues, as well as Japan's environmental technology markets
and industry structures. Buy

- The
Global Warming Debate - A recent submission by one
of our contributors posed the question, Is Global Warming
having an impact on the environment? Recent meetings of
world leaders at a Global Climate Summit has brought
this subject into the news once again.
- Global
warming - the effect many believe is responsible
for a warming of the Earth's atmosphere- raises the question,
that it is caused by greenhouse gas emissions, such as
road-traffic pollutants. It is also feared that it will
lead to more floods, droughts, cyclones and infectious
diseases, unless controls are enforced by the world leaders.
A number of organizations, including our friends at the
World Wildlife Fund, have produced a world map
illustrating evidence pointing to global warming. Click
