Abstract

Since the use of plastics in various goods such as film, containers, and packaging has been increasing in Korea, the generation of plastic waste is increasing. Plastic wastes are managed by waste charge system, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system and voluntary agreement of plastic waste collection-recycling system. Recently, the management of plastic waste is becoming a social issues due to the refusal of the collection of plastic waste including waste plastic bag and waste vinyl. The ministry of environment in korea was set up the comprehensive plan for recycling waste management in accordance with the circulation cycle of manufacturing and production - distribution and consumption - separate and discharge - collection and sorting - recycling. In this study, the improvements for management of plastic waste were suggested with the review of domestic waste plastics management and the comprehensive plan by the ministry of environment.

플라스틱은 용기, 포장재, 필름 등 다양한 분야에서 사용이 증가하고 있으며, 플라스틱 사용의 증가에 따라 폐플라스틱의 발생도 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 국내의 폐플라스틱은 폐기물 부담금, 생산자책임재활용제도와 자발적 협약 등의 제도에 의하여 관리되고 있다. 최근 폐플라스틱 수거업체에서의 수거 거부에 의한 문제에 대응하기 위하여 환경부에서는 제조 생산 - 분리 배출 - 수거 선별 - 재활용의 순환주기에 따른 재활용 폐기물 관리 종합대책을 발표하였다. 이러한 폐플라스틱 관리에 대하여 국내 폐플라스틱 관리현황과 환경부의 대책을 검토하여 폐플라스틱의 순환주기에 따른 개선방안을 제시하였다.
