J-MOSS/Japan RoHS – The regulation commonly referred to as J-MOSS or   Japan RoHS combines the Japanese Recycling Law (Law for Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources in Japan) with the   JIS C 0950 standard, which marks the presence of certain chemical substances for electrical and electronic equipment. It restricts the same six substances in the same concentration limits as EU RoHS 2 (mercury at 0.1%, cadmium at 0.01%, lead at 0.1%, chromium at 0.1%, polybrominated biphenyls at 0.1%, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers at 0.1%) but for only seven product categories (personal computers, unit-type air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, clothes dryers, and microwaves).

The Law for Promotion of Selective Collection and Recycling of Containers and Packaging – This law was enacted in 1997 in order to promote the efficient use of recycled containers and packages by shifting those wastes into recyclable resources. Businesses must indicate on paper and plastic packaging about how to recycle the product and contribute to a designated corporation that will run their recycling program.
