Abstract;Illegal dumping cases of industrial wastes happened tragically at Teshima island on this beautiful Seto Inland Sea and this symbolizes Japan's typical "economy-first, others-second, society". This case, eventually, induced the society to focus on "wastes problem" and led our country to create an environment-friendly "Recycling-Oriented Society". The problem of Teshima let new effort for "Recycling-Oriented Society", in which emitted wastes are recycled and utilized as resources, as well as controlling the amount of waste. Non-recycling wastes are to be treated properly with the goal of becoming environment-friendly. Environmental remediation at Teshima and wastes treatment and its recycling project (without any final landfilling of by-products such as fly ash and slag) at Naoshima, have already started to achieve our "Recycling-Oriented Society".
