Abstract

As the largest source of food waste is housing, and the food waste properties are good enough to recycle, the proactive approach to conventional food waste disposal is highly regarded. This research is to examine food waste management in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) and non-SMA and to analyze the public inclination to disseminate zero-food waste system (ZFWS) with fermentation and extinction technology in multifamily housing estates. The self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted and the collected data were statistically analyzed. The main findings are summarized as follows: food waste in multifamily housing estates were retrieved by refuse truck and largely recycled for compost and forage. Also, many local governments were in favor of ZFWS, and unwilling to invest in it due to financial constraint. It's found that logistics of ZFWS is likely to be influenced by important features such as a considerable amount of cost saving, effective energy recovery, and efficient operation/management.

음식물쓰레기의 최대 배출원인 주택에서 생성되는 음식물쓰레기의 성상은 양호하여 재활용 가치가 크지만, 기존의 음식물쓰레기 관리방식으로는 한계가 있어 개선안이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 수도권과 비수도권 소재 공동주택단지의 음식물쓰레기 관리 실태를 조사하고, 발효 소멸기술을 이용한 음식물쓰레기 무배출 시스템 보급에 대한 지자체 태도를 파악하고자 한다. 전국 지자체 공무원을 대상으로 실시한 설문조사를 통해 수집한 자료는 통계분석을 하였고, 그 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 공동주택단지에서 배출되는 음식물쓰레기는 차량수거를 통해 퇴비나 사료로 재활용되고 있었다. 상당수의 지자체들은 음식물쓰레기 무배출 시스템에 관심이 있으나, 지자체의 예산 부족은 그 보급에 걸림돌이 되었다. 또한, 음식물쓰레기 무배출 시스템을 실용화하기 위해서는 비용절감효과, 에너지로의 자원화, 설치 후 유지운영 관리의 용이성 등이 뒷받침되어야 할 것으로 나타났다.
