Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) organised a workshop under the G7-Alliance on Resource Efficiency - International Resource Recycling – in Japan on December 14 2016. The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of the world's seven most industrialized economies including, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom.
The G7 leaders agreed to establish a G7-Alliance on Resource Efficiency as a platform for member countries to share best practices in the field to promote a society with high resource efficiency. The main aim of the platform is to protect the environment, while promoting innovation and economic growth through the efficient utilization of resources.
