This study, focused on reuse of the concepts of unused clothing recycling, was intended to provide basic materials and suggestions for establishing the drastic measures necessary for consumer education related to recycling by investigating how experiences in the recycling of unused clothes would show up according to environmental consciousness and recycling consciousness and then probing the scheme for the recycling of clothes. Since it was found that recycling consciousness was the variable that exerted a great effect on experiences in recycling unused clothes, consumer education about recycling will have to be revitalized. And detailed and specialized education on environmental consciousness is more important than emphasis on the importance of environmental consciousness.

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

School uniform recycling has gained increasing attention as one of the solutions for environmental problems and improvement of home economics. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of environment-friendly consumption consciousness, consumption behavior, and consumption value on attitude of school uniform recycling in adolescents. Using self-completion questionnaire, environment-friendly consumption consciousness, consumption behavior, and consumption value were examined in 426 middle- and high school female students in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. The results are as follows; first, although more than 60% students showed positive attitude for purchasing recycled school uniform, respondents have rarely been purchasing recycled school uniform. Second, environment-friendly consumption consciousness, consumption behavior, and consumption value of students had the significant effect on the attitude of school uniform recycling. Our results suggest that more efforts should be focused on the education of environment-friendly consumption consciousness and consumption behavior.

Purchasing used school uniforms is to reduce environmental pollution and expenses, and to enhance a feeling of wearing satisfaction for school uniforms by improving size fitting. In order to improve reutilization of used school uniforms, uniform purchasing behavior, awareness of the reutilizing markets of used school uniforms, and the running conditions of reutilizing markets of used school uniforms were analyzed through the survey. The subjects are 741 students of middle and high schools in Seoul and Kyeonggi Province in this study. The results are as follows. First, the better-fitted uniforms students wear, the higher satisfaction they feel. Therefore, it is desirable for students to wear the uniforms which are well fitted for each student. Second, the higher aware of environment students are and the more environmental preservation behavior they do, the higher awareness of wearing used school uniforms they are. In order to enhance students' awareness of reutilizing markets of used school uniforms, it is important to educate students about the environment systematically and to promote recycling events. Third, the reasons for not purchasing used school uniforms are difficulty in access to the repurchasing market and the sanitary problem. Therefore, it is suggested that environmental education which boosts students' awareness of environment and reutilization events should be held to make reutilizing markets of used school uniforms vigorous. Moreover, it is necessary to make reutilizing markets easy to access and improve cleaning and repairing system.

Purchasing behavior for upcycled fashion products was examined along with analysis on environment consciousness, clothing recycling behavior, interest in fashion and awareness of upcycling. Students from middle schools, general high schools and design high schools participated in this research from August to September in 2013. 732 questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS WIN. Firstly the levels of environmental consciousness, clothing recycling behavior and interest in fashion of students were high, low and mediate respectively. Female students showed higher environmental consciousness compared to male ones and clothing recycling behavior were found to be higher in students of design high schools than those of general ones. The level of interest in fashion was found to be higher in students of general high school than those of middle school, and this was higher in design high school students than those of general ones. Secondly, more than half of students were unaware of upcycling. Female students and students of design high schools were highly aware of upcycling. Students who were aware of upcycling showed high level of environmental consciousness, clothing recycling behaviour and interest in fashion. Thirdly, students had low experiences in purchasing upcycled fashion products and the reason was lack of awareness of upcycling. The reason that students purchased upcycled fashion products was the uniqueness and design. Students who purchased upcycled fashion products showed high environmental consciousness, clothing recycling behaviour, and interest in fashion.

본 연구는 쓰레기 처리문제와 관련하여 분리수거, 감량화, 재활용 등에 적극적으로 참여해야 할 주부소비자를 중심으로 환경보전의식과 환경보전행동을 살펴보고 관련된 변인들을 분석해 봄으로써 환경보전에 대한 소비자의 책임감과 올바른 환경관을 고취시키고 나아가 환경교육프로그램의 개발과 환경정책에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 주부의 환경보전의식 수준은 평균 4.25(5점만점)로 높게 나타났으며, 연령과 주거형태에 따라서만 유의한 차이를 보였다. 환경보전행동 수준은 평균 3.56으로 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 연령, 학력, 월평균 가계소득이 높을수록 분리수거함이 존재할 경우, 반상회에 참여함에 따라 높게 나타났으며 변화추구에 소극적이고 적극활동형, 전통주의형, 합리주의형, 현실안정형의 성향이 높은 주부일수록 환경보전의식 및 행동이 높게 나타났다. 또한 주부의 쓰레기 처리에 대한 관심도는 평균 3.97로 비교적 높게 나타났으며 연령, 학부, 분리수거함의 존재, 주거형태가 아파트와 단독주택인 경우에 관심도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2) 주부의 환경보전의식 및 행동과 쓰레기 처리에 대한 관심도간에는 정적상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3) 주부의 쓰레기 처리에 대한 관심도에 영향을 미치는 변인으로는 환경보전운동에의 참여행도, 환경교육, 적극활동형, 변화추구형, 재활용행동으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to ensure that materialism is an important explanation variable not only for consumption behavior of clothing but also for recycling attitude and behavior of clothing. Therefore, we investigated the influence of materialism and environment consciousness on recycling attitude and behavior of clothing. A total of 210 survey questionnaires were collected. The results revealed that materialism didn't directly affect recycling attitude, but that the happiness dimension of materialism negatively affected environment consciousness and that materialism indirectly affected recycling attitude and behavior via environment consciousness. Environment consciousness dimensions partially affected recycling attitude and behavior of clothing. Recycling altitude positively affected recycling behavior.

섬유폐수는 합성유기물인 염료와 발호공정에서의 호제가 다량으로 함유되어 있어 기존의 생물학적 처리법에 의한 처리가 용이하지 않다. 게다가 섬유산업은 여타산업에 비해 다량의 물을 소비하는 산업이다. 그동안의 산업의 고도 발전에 따라 앞으로는 물부족현상이 심해질 전망이며, 환경보전 및 보호에 대한 의식이 고취됨에 따라 이러한 섬유폐수의 처리도 이제까지와는 다른 새로운 방법으로 그 효율을 극대화할 필요성을 느끼게 되었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 막분리 공정으로서 한외여과, 역삼투 공정을 이용하여 염색$\cdot$제직폐수를 고도처리하여 재활용이 가능토록 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 염색$\cdot$제직폐수의 고도처리를 통한 재활용 시스템을 설계하였다.

캔압축기 분야는 자판기산업에 있어 엄연한 유관분야로 한자리를 차지하고 있다. 자판기를 통해 캔음료가 유통시 그 최종단계에서는 반드시 빈캔이라는 부산물이 발생하기 마련이다. 따라서 이를 유기적으로 수거해 환경과 재활용 정책에 일조 할 수 있는 캔압축기는 비록 필수적이지는 않더라도 산업계 필요성이 큰 분야라 할수 있다. 하지만 현재 자판기 옆에서 캔압축기를 찾아보기가 쉽지 않듯 캔압축기 업체들의 사업활동도 미미하기 그지없는 게 현실이다. 그저 있어도 없는 듯, 없어도 있는 듯 한 존재로서 산업의 가느다란 연결고리를 잡고 있는 현실에서 캔압축기 업체들이 느끼는 고충이 적지 않다. 아무리 좋은 성능의 제품을 만들고, 환경산업에 일조 한다는 자부심을 위안 삼는다 해도 기대에 못 미치는 사업성과에 업체들은 언제까지 앞날만을 기약하고 있기 힘든 상황이다. 이 같은 현실에 있어 캔압축기를 생산하는 업체들의 모임인 '한국폐캔회수장비생산자협의회'가 정부를 대상으로 적극적인 재활용 산업 활성화 지원 정책을 호소하고 나섰다. 정부의 적극적인 지원 없이는 캔압축기 산업분야가 고사상태에 빠질지도 모른다는 위기의식이 이번 건의의 배경이다. 본란에서는 이 같은 한국페캔회수장비생산자협의회의 정부 건의 내용을 중심으로 오늘의 캔압축기 업체들이 처한 현실을 살펴보고 향후 재활용 산업이 나아갈 방향을 모색해 보는 시간을 마련했다.
