Abstract

It is expected to establish International Resource Recycling System (IRRS) for dealing appropriately with environment concern. Because, Asian countries have been rapidly growing economically in recent years, whereas environmental problems have become more serious. They have become global, complicated and beyond control of a single country. Fuji Xerox established the "Recycling-Site" in Thailand as an integrated recycling center over the Asia-Pacific region and built the worlds' first full-fledged "IRRS" of its own accord In December 2004. It overcame numerous barriers, including the differences in organizational and social values among nations. We reviewed and analyzed direction, factors, structures and essences of this system for its success.
