  • Concerns on environmental issues and global warming are increasing worldwide. Environmental regulations such as Tokyo Protocol, RoHS, WEEE are also getting harder and harder and used as trade barriers. Different from other manufacturing industries, information and communication industry is basically environment friendly-low emission of harmful materials and little consumption of energy. But information and communication industry can contribute to world environment by recycle articles in disuse and properly process discarded trash. Furthermore, by using more renewable energy, it can reduce the $CO_2$ emission, one of the major the green house gas.

  • Used motor oil contains pollutants, including organic chemicals and meta]s. When disposed of improperly - in the trash, on the ground or in a sewer system - the pollutants may reach rivers, lakes or the ground water. Thus, all the waste oil products such as waste motor oil, waste oil container, and waste oil filter should be collected and transported for recycling or disposal by waste oil regulations. Because waste oil container is a valuable resource, waste oil containers can be reused, cleaned, buried, and burned for recycling processes. This paper presents the integrated management system that may increase the efficiency and productivity for collecting and reprocessing waste oil containers such as steel can and plastic container. The integrated management system consists of collection and transportation process management system and confirmation and certification process management system for waste oil containers.

  • Training for mothers and children first included information on water, ground, and air pollution, saving energy, and reducing trash. In the second phase, the family followed steps outlined in an environmental preservation guidebook. The experiment was of 16 weeks duration, conducted with 120 subjects, comprised of sixty 4-year-old children and their mothers. Measures included environmental preservation knowledge and the actual practice of environmental preservation on the part of the subjects. Mothers performed self-evaluations while teachers measured the children. SPSS was used for data collection and analysis. The results of this study indicate that the program increased perceptions on environmental preservation and the actual practice of the experimental group. The program application also resulted in meaningful co-relationships between perceptions and practice and between mothers and their children.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine consumer characteristics according to the recycling behavior and analyze the affected variables on recycling behavior. For the empirical analysis, the data was collected 585 consumers from May 14 to June 8,2001. The statistical methods for this study were descriptive statistics, t-tests, cross tables, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis using SPSS PC program. The major findings of this study were as follows: 1. Convenience was important variables to explain the recycling behavior of household trash between two groups, but extrinsic incentives of rewards for undertaking the behavior was not significant. 2. Intrinsic motivation like as perceived consumer difficulties(PCD), perceived consumer effectiveness(PCE), recycling altitude, and ethic was significant variables to compare two groups. 3. Recycling knowledge was important to explain the recycling behavior, but no impact on recycling behavior. 4. Except age, all of socially demographic variables were significant to compare the recycling behavior of two groups. 5. Recycling attitude and convenience had influence on recycling behavior. Especially, ethic had influence on low level recycling behavior of consumer group.

  • Municipal and sanitary landfills can pose environmental problems due to leachate, landfill gas md unstable geotechnical properties. Most governmental bodies delay the correction of landfill problems or landfill replacement until a crises stage is reached. The replacement of a landfill is often made difficult due to costly regulatory controls, public opposition to siting and the high cost of closure for the previous landfill unit. Solutions to extending landfill life and capacity Involve waste minimization by recycling, refuse compaction and waste-to-energy incineration. Incineration can reduce the volume of refuse by 50-95%. The largest installed bases of municipal waste Incinerators are located in Japan and the U.S. The volume of waste contained in a landfill can be estimated by load count tabulations, weight-and-volume measurements or a material balance analysis based on the trash profile of user categories. for an existing landfill, core samples may be collected and analyzed for use in a material balance analysis. Newly generated refuse contains approximately 50% of the heating value of coal. However, landfill properties vary significantly due to the waste profile of the contributors and biodegradation due to time and weathering. The volume of the Nanji-do landfill

  • For the while, food wastes have been mainly gathered in a trash place in outskirt of Seoul to bury under the ground. Recently the residents near the area strongly refused to fetch those food wastes to their area because of the terribly bad smell. According to the statistic, the food wastes have around $30\%$ portion of total living wastes, which are more than other countries. Most of the food wastes have been simply buried or incinerated without deep consideration of resource recovery view. Such burying or incineration makes problem to the residents' life condition. So the first is to reduce as much as possible and the rest should be controlled to reuse as resources.
