Abstract

Management of resource productivity is important for the reduction of natural resources and energy consumption. This is closely linked to circular economy which has recently been stressed worldwidely. Resource productivity is a key indicator which is to be managed in various industry sectors. Especially Korea which is heavily dependent on the natural resources import from overseas needs to give attention to this point. Nevertheless resource productivity related domestic researches and policies are extremely rare. This paper thus presents trends on resources productivities and their management policies of European countries and OECD G7 countries compared to the situation of Korea. In addition, the decoupling phenomenon of DMC (domestic material consumption) and GDP of Europe is analyzed and the resource productivity promotion strategy of Korea is proposed.

천연자원 및 에너지 사용 저감을 통한 자원생산성 제고는 순환경제체제 이슈와 함께 그 중요성이 고조되고 있다. 자원수급을 대부분 해외에 의존하고 있는 우리나라의 상황에서 자원생산성은 모든 산업에서 중점적으로 관리해야 하는 주요 지표이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구와 정책추진은 전반적으로 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 유럽, 일본 등 선진국들의 DMC(자원소비량)와 GDP의 탈동조화(디커플링) 현상 및 자원생산성 관리정책과 수준을 조사하고, 우리나라 실태와의 비교 분석을 통해 향후 자원생산성 제고를 위한 방안을 제시하였다.
