Abstract

Used metallic can should be recycled from the point of view of environmental preservation and resource recycling. Metallic can is one of EPR items, and classified into steel can and aluminum can according to the can body material. In Korea about eighty percent of metallic cans are made of steel. In this article, production of cans and current status on domestic recycling of used metallic cans in recent years(2008-2012) were surveyed. Recycled ratio by weight of used steel and aluminum cans was about 80.8% and 81.8%, respectively in 2012. Totally it reached 81.8%.

금속캔은 리싸이클링이 용이한 포장용기로서 금속 폐캔을 효율적으로 리싸이클링하는 것은 자원재활용 측면에서 매우 중요한 일이다. 금속캔은 EPR 해당 품목으로서 재질에 따라 스틸캔과 알루미늄캔으로 분류되는데, 국내의 경우에는 스틸캔이 80% 가량을 차지하고 있다. 본 고에서는 2008년부터 최근 5년간 금속 폐캔 발생량과 재활용 현황 및 처리방법을 알루미늄캔과 스틸캔별로 조사하였다. 2012년 금속캔의 재활용을 중량비로 살펴보면 스틸캔이 80.8%, 알루미늄캔은 81.8%였으며 금속캔 전체로는 81.1%의 재활용율을 기록하였다.
