"The Montreal
Protocol on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer" was
adopted in 1987. In Japan as well, "the Law concerning the
Protection of the Ozone Layer through the Regulation of
Specified Substances and Other Measures" was enacted in May
1988, and control of the production and import of the
specified CFCs began in July 1989.
In response to these
developments, thirty-eight industrial organizations in Japan
jointly established "the Conference for Promotion of the
Rational Use of Specified CFCs" in June 1989 under the
guidance of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry,
and began a program of enlightening and informative activities
to reduce the use of the specified CFCs. |
JICOP was
established at that time, and since then, with the changing
social trends, has tried to upgrade and expand its business
content and organization to the present date. JICOP plays a
significant role in gathering and transmitting both foreign
and domestic information, serving as a liaison between the
government and the industrial world, and supporting the
effective implementation of industry solutions.
Although
alternative substances offer Ozone Layer protection, they are
also greenhouse gases, and global warming prevention has
recently become an important issue for JICOP. For global
environmental problems like this, international activities are
important; consequently, JICOP also plays an important role in
collaborating, providing assistance, and cooperating with each
organization from other nations. |

| The full backing of the
industrial world grappling with prevention of global warming
from 3 gasses, such as HFCs and ozone depletion !

JICOP accepts industry
groups as members to address the problems of preventing global
warming caused by Hydro Fluoro Carbons (HFCs), Per Fluoro
Carbons (PFCs), and Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) specified in the
Kyoto Protocol, and ozone depletion caused by the substances
specified in the Montreal Protocol.
JICOP aims to provide
timely and appropriate information for members, by way of
wide-ranging activities regarding these problems and
cooperation with the administration, and contributes to the
comprehensive development of members by promoting efficient
and steady implementation of preventive
measures.
