Abstract

Sustainable resource management(SRM) is regarded as the core strategy to achieve Dematerialisation and Decoupling of economic growth from the use of natural resources and environmental degradation. This paper presents status SRM policy and research in worldwide, and analyzes decoupling of economic activity from energy consumption of domestic manufacturing, using decoupling factor. Also This paper suggests methodologies and strategies of SRM in Korea. SRM is established through various analysis and survey as following; forecasting of resource demand, material flow analysis and value chain analysis, resource market structure analysis. Through these analysis, we can obtain hot-spot and solution of environmental burden, recycling market management, recycling technology and best-optimal supply rate of primary and secondary resource. In Korea, resource management system must be linked with national and regional material flow analysis, and it is necessary to make SRM-law of national dimension for effective run of sustainable resource management system.

지속가능한 자원관리모형(SRM)구축은 탈물질화 및 환경과 경제의 디커플링을 이루기 위한 핵심적 요소로 여겨지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세계 각국의 지속가능한 자원관리 정책 및 연구방향을 살펴보고, decoupling factor를 이용하여 국내제조업의 경제활동과 에너지소비간의 디커플링현상을 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 이를 바탕으로 국내 실정에 맞는 SRM모형구축과 전략을 제시하였다. 자원관리 시스템은 수요전망, 물질흐름분석과 가치사슬분석, 시장구조분석 등의 분석과 조사 등을 바탕으로 구축된다. 이러한 분석들을 통해 환경적 문제 해결, 재활용시장관리방안 및 시장의 구조적 문제점 도출, 필요 재활용기술 도출, 1차자원과 2차자원의 최적 공급비율 등의 Hot-spot 도출 및 해결방안모색이 가능하다. 또한 지속가능한 자원 관리시스템과 국가단위, 권역단위의 물질흐름분석을 유기적으로 연계하고, 효과적인 이의 운영을 위해서는 국가차원의 법제화와 뒷받침이 이뤄져야 할 것이다.
