재활용촉진을 위한 재활용 가능품의 흐름 특성 조사연구

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibilities on national recycling goal upto 40% in 2002 or more in the future. Sampling survey, Including waste generation rates, seperated recyclables and collection forces, covered households of 16,199 units, work places of 90 units and road length of 159km in Seoul. Survey results were used to calculate amounts of solid waste and recyclables according to physical properties, policy oriented measures, generator sand collection forces. This study founded followings ; Seoul's solid waste totaled 11,098ton/day, about 45% of which were recyclables and supposed to maximun level for recycling. Therefore, national goal for recycling proved to be attainable At this time,71.4% of recyclables was seperated by generators, and to stimulate the seperation activities of recyclables, endeavor of establishments, which seperated 65.6% of their recyclables, will be needed more than one of residence, which did 87.4% of their recyclables. Private forces collected 86.6% of recyclables seperated by generators, and have collection potentials equivalent to all recyclables generated in Seoul. But some incetives should be introduced to encourage private forces' activities, because values of recyclables to be collected in the future are lower than that did now.
