180 1 A system for collecting, reuse and recycling materials after
product use is established. 2Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take
into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental impact upon disposal.
Tarps Evaluation criteria
At least 50 by weight of fiber natural and chemical used in polyethylene fiber products shall be recycled polyethylene fibers.
Factors for consideration Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take into
account ease of recycling and reduced environmental impact upon disposal.
Note: 1. PET resins denote material that use recycled PET bottles and fiber products, etc.
2. Weight of all fibers denotes the weight of all product excluding accessories such as
button, fastener, hook, sewing thread and the metal parts i.e. pole, from all of product. The weight of accessories used recycled plastic part or all of plastic once used as a part
of a useful product that has been discarded, remnants discarded during the manufacturing process, or the recyclereuse of defective articles This excludes,
however, plastic that has been recycled in the process of manufacturing the product may be include “the weight of all fibers” and “the weight of polyester from recycled
PET resins”.
3. Unused fiber is created from short fiber produced during spinning i.e. linter. 4. Reconstructed fiber is created by decomposing and creating into linear form materials
such as remnants from manufacturing of clothing, and products that are no longer in use.
5. Post-con sumer material refers to material or product discarded after used as a product. 6. Recycled polyethylene denotes part or all of polyethylene once used as a part of a
useful product that has been discarded, remnants discarded during the manufacturing process, or the recyclereuse of defective articles This excludes, however,
polyethylene that has been recycled in the process of manufacturing the product.
7. A system is in place for the collection, reuse and recycling denotes the fulfillment of
the below requirements. A system for collection should fulfill the below requirements a. and b.
a. The manufacturer or the seller has a system a collection system located at the manufacturer or the seller, or collection in response to the user’s request for
voluntarily collecting collecting on its own or commissioning other companies to collect; includes situations where multiple businesses undertake the collection
together used products.
b. In order to precipitate appropriate collection, specific information for the collection collection method, collection location, etc. of used products are
available from the products body, package, catalog and website for the users.
A system for reuse and recycling should fulfill the below requirements c. and d.
c. The collected products must be reused, material recycled and chemical recycled. d. The parts that cannot be reuse or recycling of collected products must energy
recovered.
181 8. When using products purchased by a procurement organization for its business use for
stockpiles for disaster, they will be excluded from consideration as stockpiles for disaster.
9. In procuring stockpiles for disaster, each procurement organization will design a system for storage and purchase of products based on their expiration date to enable
adequate maintenance and regular renewal of storage and purchase quantities.
Disposable batteries
Evaluation Criteria 1
Disposable batteries must exceed the smallest average duration listed in accordance to load resistance in Table below.
2 The product specifications must include a period of over five years is
required until the recommended expiration date. Factors for Consideration
Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental impact upon
disposal.
Note: 1.
Disposable batteries under consideration in the evaluation criteria of this section
denote “D”C” AA”, or “AAA”. 2.
Smallest average duration is to be measured in accordance to the electric discharge
test criteria designated in JIS C 8515. Disposable batteries that comply with the alkaline battery designated in JIS C 8515 meets this Evaluation Criteria 1.
3. When using products purchased by a procurement organization for its business use for
disaster, they will be excluded from consideration as stockpiles for disaster. 4.
In procuring stockpiles for disaster, each procurement organization will design a system for storage and purchase of products based on their expiration date to enable
adequate maintenance and regular renewal of storage and purchase quantities. 5.
In order to lengthen the storage time of products, each procurement organization will consider a contract method that, for example, allows a set amount of time until
delivery date, so that the supplier may prepare products that are as new as possible.

Factors for Consideration Packaging and container of product is as simple as possible, and
has been considered for ease of reuse and the reduction of environmental load.
Note: 1.
When using products purchased by a procurement organization for its business use for disaster, they will be excluded from consideration as stockpiles for disaster.
2. In procuring stockpiles for disaster, each procurement organization will design a
system for storage and purchase of products based on their expiration date to enable adequate maintenance and regular renewal of storage and purchase quantities.
3. In order to lengthen the storage time of products, each procurement organization will
consider a contract method that, for example, allows a set amount of time until delivery date, so that the supplier may prepare products that are as new as possible.
2 Target Setting Guideline Ratio of the number of products meeting the criteria to the total number of products to be
purchased in the fiscal year. The total for blankets, work gloves, tents, tarps and disposable batteries will include
specified items for procurement used for normal business operations as outlined in this Basic Policy.
Portable generators
Evaluation Criteria 1
Must fulfill one of the following. a.
For generators have a gasoline engine include the one that uses natural gas or LP gas as a fuel does
not exceed the standard rate shown in Table 1. b.
For generators have a diesel engine does not exceed the standard rate shown in Table 2.
2 The noise level must be 98 decibels or less.
3 The time for continuous run must be three hours or more.
However, cassette gas cylinder type must be one hour or more.
Factors for Consideration 1 The fuel cost efficiency must be as possible as high.
2 Having the function to control the engine rotational speed
automatically according to the load under use. 3The miniaturization and lightening the product should be
attempted. 4Design consideration takes into account product life, reuse of
parts, or recycling of raw material. 5Packaging and container of product is as simple as possible,
and has been considered for ease of reuse and the reduction of environmental load.
Note: 1.
Portable generators under consideration for evaluation criteria in this section denotes
power generators whose rated power is 3kVA or less.
184 2.
The measuring method at the noise level depends on Measuring method of measurements of the noise and the vibration of the construction machinery No.1537
of the M inistry of Construction notification in 1997. 3.
When using products purchased by a procurement organization for its business use for disaster, they will be excluded from consideration as stockpiles for disaster.
4. Each procurement organization must note the frequency of electricity.
