Recently, signigicant interest is given to the recycling of glass bottles. This is because the importance of glass bottle recycling is growing in terms of resource conservation and waste minimization. In this paper, authors analyzed the present situation and problems in glass bottle recycling, summarized the recycling activity in foreign countries and suggested legal and institutional strategies based upon citizen's attitude survey to improve glass bottle recycling activity

Paper packs, glass bottles, metal cans, and plastic materials are classified according to packaging material recycling groups that are Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). In the case of waste paper pack, the compressed cartons are dissociated to separate polyethylene films and other foreign substance, and then these are washed, pulverized and dried to produce toilet paper. Glass bottle for recycling is provided to the bottle manufacturers after the process of collecting the waste glass bottle, removing the foreign substance, sorting by color, crushing, raw materializing process. Waste glass recycling technology of Korea is largely manual, except for removal of metal components and low specific gravity materials. Metal can is classified into iron and aluminum cans through an automatic sorting machine, compressed, and reproduced as iron and aluminum through a blast furnace. In the case of composite plastic material, the selected compressed product is crushed and then recycled through melt molding and refined products are produced through solid fuel manufacturing steps through emulsification and compression molding through pyrolysis. In the recycling process of paper packs, glass bottles, metal cans, and plastic materials, the influx of recycled materials and other substances interferes with the recycling process and increases the recycling cost and time. Therefore, the government needs to improve the legal system which is necessary to use materials and structure that are easy to recycle from the design stage of products or packaging materials.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a major cause of global warming and climate change, and are currently emerging as serious environmental problems worldwide. Among them, glass bottles do not decompose naturally, and a lot of resources and energy are input into the production and processing processes, so recycling of glass bottles is important in terms of resource conservation, minimizing environmental pollution, and reducing GHG. Therefore, this study created a material flow diagram of glass bottles using related statistical data such as domestic glass bottle production and processing volume. In addition, the US EPA WARM model, Germany Prognos calculation method, and Denmark Christensen's calculation method were used to estimate the greenhouse gas reduction amount of glass bottles. As a result of the study, out of about 490,000 tons of waste glass bottles discharged as municipal waste, about 300,000 tons (61.2%) were recycled, and the rest were incinerated (22.1%) and landfilled (17.3%). As of 2022, it is estimated that approximately 73,399 tons CO₂eq/yr will be reduced when applying the US EPA WARM model, approximately 52,847 tons CO₂eq/yr when applying the Prgonos calculation method, and approximately 135,201 tons CO₂eq/yr when applying the Christensen's calculation method. Further research is warranted that the methodology and GHG saving emission factors by reflecting glass recycling conditions and processes in Korea should be developed to reduce uncertainty of the results.

플라스틱, 페트병, 캔, 유리병, 종이팩, 스티로폴 등 기존 6개로 분산돼 있던 재활용단체가 통합돼 지난해 12월 4일 법정 단체로 새롭게 설립된 (사)한국포장재재활용공제조합이 3월 20일 SC컨벤션 강남센터에서 '2014 회원사 정기총회'를 개최했다. 공익법인 설립 운영에 관한 법률에 의거 설립된 한국포장재재활용공제조합은 '자원의 절약과 재활용 촉진에 관한 법률' 제27조에 따라 재활용 의무 생산자인 제품 포장재의 제조 수입 판매업자의 의무를 대행하는 역할과 기능을 수행하게 된다. 포장재재활용공제조합의 최주섭 초대 이사장에게 향후 운영계획에 대한 견해를 들어보았다.
