Abstract

Recently, plastic recycling has emerged as a social issue, and its importance is increasing. Therefore, this article reviewed the current status and the future directions of domestic plastic recycling. Plastic recycling is major economic and social problems not only in South Korea but also worldwide and is being treated as an important factor for protecting the environment and for sustainability in the next generation. In particular, China, which has been dealing with a large amount of plastic waste generated around the world, has banned importing plastic waste, therefore, other countries have faced the problem of recycling plastics in their countries. In South Korea, the landfill and incineration of the waste are becoming more difficult by the Framework Act on Resources Circulation, therefore, the recycling and reuse of plastics are a very important.

폐플라스틱 리싸이클링이 사회적 이슈로 부각하여 그 중요성이 날로 더해지고 있는 이때에 우리나라 폐플라스틱의 리싸이클링 현황 및 향후 나아갈 방향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 폐플라스틱 리싸이클링은 비단 우리나라뿐만 아니라 전 세계 주요 경제적, 사회적 문제로 부각되어 환경을 보호하고 다음 세대에 지속가능한 지구를 물려주는데 중요 요소로 다뤄지고 있다. 특히 그동안 전 세계 발생되는 플라스틱 폐기물의 상당량을 처리해 오던 중국이 플라스틱 폐기물의 수입을 중단함에 따라 각국은 자국 내에서 폐플라스틱을 리싸이클링 해야만 하는 문제에 직면하게 되었다. 우리나라도 자원순환법에 의해 폐플라스틱의 매립 및 소각이 더욱 어려워지고 있어 폐플라스틱을 효과적으로 리싸이클링 하여 다시 사용하는 것은 매우 중요한 과제이다.
