Abstract

We conducted a product flow analysis (PFA) for 94 consumer durables in Japan to obtain a complete picture of the domestic flow. Data on domestic shipment, average weight and average lifespan of each product was surveyed and estimated based on statistics and product catalogues of manufacturers. Then, the amount of domestic shipment and waste from households and enterprises was estimated as inflow and outflow of the system. This is the first report on the complete picture of domestic product flow of consumer durables in Japan.
