Material recycles and energy conservation in production activities by companies are easy to give incentives because the so-called Win-Win relationship between reduction of the cost and the environmental load is established. However, it is difficult for the consumers to be given the incentive, as they take benefits, which are amenities of life, out in the cost. Therefore, the Win-Win relationship is not able to be established for the consumers and it is more necessary for them to understand environmental issues and improve social infrastructure. Moreover, it is thought that fostering waste disposal, effective recycling and effective energy utilization technology as a new core industry is also one of the solutions.
The purpose of this lecture is academically understanding of practical recycle technology based on multiple investigation of environmental issues and social development.

It is necessary to possess a set of knowledge and education on global environmental issues. Moreover, a good understanding of thermodynamics is desirable. In addition, knowledge of organic, inorganic or metal materials, as well as chemistry related to the materials is desirable.
