『Abstract
Material stocks in economic society are considered to represent
a reserve for wastes and secondary resources. From the viewpoints
of proper disposal and reutilization of stocked materials, accurate
estimation of the amount of materials that will emerge as wastes
or secondary resources in the future is important. We defined
materials that have a high probability of emerging as wastes or
secondary resources as “potential wastes and secondary resources”
and estimated that amount for construction minerals in Japan as
a case study. The following conclusions were drawn. (1) We classified
materials that are input into economic society into four categories:
potential wastes and secondary resources, potential dissipated
materials, dissipatively used materials, and permanent structures.
By clarifying the latter three non-potential wastes and secondary
resources, we performed a more accurate assessment of the wastes
and secondary resources that will emerge in the future. (2) The
share of potential wastes and secondary resources was estimated
to be about 30% of all construction materials that have been input
into and accumulated in Japanese economic society. (3) Information
related to potential dissipated materials and dissipatively used
materials will provide fundamental knowledge to support analyses
of the environmental impacts and resource losses which these materials
might generate.』
