  • 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.

  • The construction wastes rapidly increase because of redevelopment, the development of new urbanization of large-scale land development, the expansion of social infrastructure. As one of the ways to recycle construction waste to be recycled directly. This case, recycling of materials uses up most of recycled aggregate can be secured reliably. As a result, a decrease in the amount of materials brought in or taken out of the site, the cost of transportation, carbon dioxide emission, and traffic can be reduced. Economic, social and environmental effects can be expected. Therefore, this study of the construction waste "Site-Recycling" to enable the construction waste from the occurrence of "site-recycling" that can be processed in batches to apply the "Site-Recycling Simulation Program" is to develop the algorithms.

  • Electronic products such as appliances, computers, and cellular phones have printed circuit boards (PCBs) in common and the PCBs in the waste electronic products contain valuable metals and organic resins. In Korea, recovery and recycling of the organic resins as well as the valuable metallics from the wastes are required indeed as the most of resources are being imported from abroad. In this article, the patents and papers for the recycling of organic residues from the waste PCBs were collected and analyzed. The open patents of USA (US), European Union (EP), Japan (JP), and Korea (KR) and SCI journals from 1979 to 2012 were investigated. The patents and journals were collected using key-words and filtered by the definition of the technology. The patents and journals were analyzed by the years, countries, companies, and technologies and the technical trends were discussed in this paper. It is showed sluggish relatively activity of published papers and patent applications for polymer manufacturing technology in local and abroad.

  • Since 1990s, these many researchers have been fully involved in developing recycling methods for FRP boats. There are four basic classes of recycling covered in the literature. the first is "Mechanical recycling" which involves shredding and grinding of the scrap FRP in a new product. Despite of the safety hazards, mechanical recycling is one of the simpler and more technically proven methods. Recent researchers should be more interested in these methods. It is fact that most of FRP wastes are depended on incineration or reclamation. Because it Is made up of reinforced fiber glass, it is very difficult to break into pieces. By the disposing of waste FRP this way, it also occurs secondary problem such as air pollution and unacceptable noise. This study is to propose a new method which is efficient and environment friendly waste FRP regenerating.

  • Korean government has promoted nationwide Eco Industrial Park (EIP) project to recycle by-products and wastes in industrial park since 2010. However, the corresponding management is insufficient to support the project. Considering the efficiency and effectiveness, GIS-based management can be an alternative of the current status. This study has focused on the construction of recycling network based on EIP using GIS approach. Two industrial parks located in Gyeonggi province were selected as study sites. GIS-based spatial location analysis was performed to determine the optimal location of recycling company, and to identify linkage of one manufacture to the other manufacturers based on the types of waste. Also, the optimal network for recycling of waste heat was established. Finally, the feasibility of the current GIS-based recycling network was established by performing benefit-cost analysis.

  • The purposed of this study was to investigate the efficient recycling of food waste according to the restaurants type. To the investigated of characteristic of food wastes in different types of restaurants we were collected the sample of 60 as Korean 35 Chinese 10 Japanese 5 Western 5 Flour 5 in Swoon. The average water content of food waste was 79.9% and Korean restaurant was 80.3% which was hig-her than that of any other serving type. On the examination of a organic matter content of food waste according to the season crude fiber was higher in may and July crude protein content was higher in January and march than that other seasons. The average pH of food waste was 4,74 C/N ratio was 15.8 and the average cation content was K 0.57% Ca 0.39% Mg 0.22% NaCl 3.36% respectively The aver-age concentration of Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, Cd Ni were 154.37 mg/kg 24.79 mg/kg 0.27 mg/kg 5.63 mg/kg 5.49 mg/kg, 0.31mg/kg 1.07mg/kg respectively.

  • Ultra-fine fibers are spun by expensive fiber spinning technology using special spinnerets. Ultra-fine fibrous materials have attracted considerable attentions because of their potential applications as high performance wiping cloths, water absorbent sound proofing materials and moisture transfer sporting good. However, production expense of ultra-fine fibers is 5 to 7 times higher than general textile materials. The objective of this research is to develop cost-effective recycling process to produce multi-functional ultra-fine fibrous material in terms of the development of garnetting and carding machines for ultra-fine fibrous material waste and scrap. The efficiency of sound absorption for the recycled polyester nonwoven increased with decreasing length and thickness of component fibers, which was attributed to the reduction of air permeability. It is expected that high value and cost-effective textile products are developed using ultra-fine fibrous wastes and that sound proofing material and oil absorbent f

  • Serious problems of the environment protection and resource exhaustion are exhibited. due to the increase of the construction materials and activation of the remodeling, recently. Especially, most of the advanced countries. recycling plan for the waste concrete is vigorously progressing. The purpose of this study is making advances in the recycling of waste concrete material for use as recycled aggregate to make secondary concrete product. Using recycled aggregates form demolished concrete, we manufactured cement bricks to experiment overall performance in Korean Standard and feasible performances. On the recycled cement, in the case of cement : aggregate is 1 : 7 is satisfied with KS F 4004 : dimensions, water absorption, compressive strength of quality of a standard. So we concluded that it has great feasibility to apply these products to construction industry.

  • In order to develop effective recycling technologies of disused railway wood ties, wood properties and residual creosote oil of wood ties were investigated. Among the total 50 wood ties, 32 wood ties were identified as tropical hardwood tree, such as, Keruing (Dipterocarpus spp.), Kempas (Koompassia malaccensis), Kapur (Dryobalanops spp.) Naytoh (Palaquium rostratum), and so on. Disused wood ties showed mostly sound structure without degradation of cell walls by decay fungi. Disused wood ties showed high strengths of bending and compressive parallel to grain because degradation of wood properties was hardly occurred in use under exterior condition. Disused railway wood ties had relatively poor depth of penetration and residual of creosote oil because of refractory wood structures. These results suggest that disused railway wood ties may be useful as recycling wood wastes.
