Eco Mark Product Category No.118 “Plastic Products Version 2.13”
Certification Criteria
Japan Environment Association
Eco Mark Office
1. Purpose of Establishing Certification Criteria
Plastic is the essential material widely used in today’s society. However, from theview of waste, used plastic products have accounted for large proportion of the waste.
Total amount of general waste in recent Japan is 51-52 million tons per a year andapproximately 5 million tons of plastics are disposed in a year, which account for
approximately 10% of total waste. Plastic disposal has effect to the consumption ofnatural resources, emission of materials which cause global warming effect,
contraction of landfill disposal sites, since the main raw material of plastic ispetroleum, one of the fossil resources. In the statistics of 2003, the total amount ofemission is about 10,010 thousand tons, which includes used plastic products
produced in Japan and manufacturing loss during the production process.
Approximately 15% of them is recycled as materials, and about 58% of waste plastic
is recycled in some ways such as chemical recycling and energy recovery. The other
42% is treated by simple incineration or landfill, not made effective utilization.
In the manufacturing process of plastic products, many kinds of raw materials,
stabilizer, coloring agent, etc are used, and some of them may contain harmful
chemical substances for human health. In addition, the harmful effect for wildorganisms caused by the chemical substances solved out from plastic products has
become the important issue.
Based on the above understanding, for the investigation of this Product Category
No.118 “Plastic Products Using Recycled Materials Version 2.0”, we consider thatmaterial recycling of used plastic products to reduce the volume of waste is the mosteffective way to reduce environmental burden, and waste plastic which is difficult to
conduct material recycling should be reused by chemical recycling or energy recovery,
not landfill. Therefore, the promotion of material recycling of used plastic products
has been set as the main aim, and the recycling ability of used plastic products has
been the objective of valuation. Consequently, almost all of the criteria items on this
Product Category refer to the lifecycle of the recycled materials, including criteria
item for use of chemical substances.
Regarding to the use of chemical substances which are recognized to have strong
harmful effect, we also consider the prevention of intentional addition to the products,
commingling of chemical substances with recycled materials, evolution and elution
in the process of disposal for the used products. Especially, for eco toxicity caused bychemical substances, we ask to the manufacturer and related industries to work for

reducing harmful risk, including utilization of Pollutant Release and Transfer
Register (PRTR) Law (Law Concerning Reporting, etc. of Release to the Environmentof Specific Chemical Substances and Promoting Improvements in Their Management,
July 13, 1999, Law No. 86).

2. Applicable Scope
The percentage of plastic that is used for manufacturing products (as % by mass) is 50%
or more.
Products which apply to (1), (2), etc. may not be certified depending on the certificationcommittee’s decision:
1) Packaging materials which are generally considered as excessive2) Products which are easy to scatter in the nature
NOTE: The following products for which the Eco Mark Product Categories have been
set by their functional or material capability and also been in the “Applicable Products”
shall be applied for the each Product Categories; Eco Mark Product Category No.103“Clothes Version 3”, No.104 “Household Textile Products Version 3”, No.105 “Textile
Products for Industrial Use Version 3”, No.112 “Paper Stationery Version 1”, No.123“Building Products(Materials for Interior Work) Version2”, No.128 “Commodity Version1”, No.131 “Civil Engineering Products Version 1” and category G and J of No.140“Containers and Packaging for Food and Beverages, Cosmetics, Household Goods
Version 1”.

3. Terminology
Plastics

Material composed of single or plural polymers, plus
additives, fillers, etc. which are added to the polymer(s) togive specific characteristics

PolymerHigh molecular material which is main constituent of plastic

Recycled materials

Post-consumer materials or pre-consumer materials, which
are reused as raw materials not to be treated or disposed aswaste; these went through the recovery process such ascollection and segregation to be raw materials as analternative for new materials in the recycling or production
process.
