Abstract

This study describes the national municipal solid waste stream of the United States based on data collected and published by EPA for 1960 through 2009. This paper characterizes the municipal solid waste stream of the nation as a whole, and can be useful for understanding the nationwide stream of America. Among the various materials contained in MSW, recycling status of the major materials of paper and paperboard, glass, metals, plastics, food scraps and yard trimmings are discussed somewhat more minutely.

이 논문은 1960년부터 2009년까지의 미국의 생활쓰레기 재활용과 관련된 자료를 종합하여 정리한 것이다. 이 논문에서 언급되는 자료들은 주로 물질수지를 통하여 물질흐름을 파악하는 방법으로 다루어 졌기 때문에 어느 한 지역이 아닌 전국 단위의 MSW 흐름을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각한다. 생활쓰레기에 포함된 수많은 물질들 중에서 그 발생량이 많은 종이와 판지, 유리, 금속류, 폐플라스틱, 음식물쓰레기, 정원손질쓰레기의 발생과 재활용 현황을 보다 자세히 다루었다.
