These days, goods and services move globally. Just as products cross national borders, so do recycled resources. Economic growth and population growth in Asia and around the world are generating more waste, and more kinds of waste.

Meanwhile in Asia, where there is rapid economic growth, demand for resources is booming and demand is expected to keep growing.

This video introduces Japan's efforts to build a worldwide SMS.
