냉장고는 폐 전기전자제품(WEEE)에서 가장 많은 양이 처리되고 있는 품목이며 또한 가장 재활용이 복잡한 공정이다. 이는 가전제품 중 부피와 중량이 가장 크며 철, 비철금속, 플라스틱(PP, PS, ABS)등으로 이루어진 다양한 부품과 소재를 사용하고 있기 때문이다. 특히 최근에는 대용량 양문형 냉장고나 스탠드형 김치냉장고 등의 새로운 모델 출시와 더불어 다양한 혼합 재질의 사용으로 인해 폐 냉장고 재활용 공정의 어려움이 더욱 증가되고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 국내외 WEEE 재활용 관련 입법의 도입으로 폐 냉장고의 재활용 및 재자원화는 필수이고 관련 자원순환기술개발은 국가 기술경쟁력의 강화 및 국제 환경규제 대응 측면에서도 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 현재 우리나라의 폐 냉장고 재활용 처리 및 기술개발 현황을 분석하고 선진국의 재활용 기술을 비교 분석하고자 한다.

최근 탄소 중립 이슈와 함께 가장 많은 조명을 받고 있는 환경 문제로는 폐플라스틱 처리 문제가 있다. 폐플라스틱의 재활용 기술 중에서도 고온의 조건에서 유기물을 전환하여 원료 및 에너지로 재활용하는 열화학적 재활용 기술은 그동안 폐플라스틱에 주로 이용되어 왔던 물질재활용의 한계를 넘어선 기술로 평가 받고 있다. 열화학적 재활용 기술은 폐플라스틱을 원래 플라스틱의 원료로 재순환할 수 있는 순환경제의 핵심 기술로 부각되고 있으며 후속공정 및 최종 생산품의 활용 방법에 따라서 원료(Chemical recycling) 및 에너지(Waste to energy)로 재활용이 가능한 장점을 가지고 국내 뿐 아니라 세계적으로 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 열화학적 재활용의 대표적인 세가지 기술인 연소, 가스화, 열분해에 대하여 살펴보고 최근 주요 기술 동향을 제시하고자 한다.

On July 5, 1997, environmental Protection Administration of Taiwan publicized the recycling regulation of waste home appliances that include four items, namely, television, refrigerator, washing machine, and air conditioner. It is believed that this regulation pioneers the law enforcement of waste home appliances in the world. To comply with tile policy, several contemporary waste disposal plants specialized in waste home appliances were established according to a follow-up technical specification oil the waste treatment facilities and methodology. Therefore, the traditional dismantling facilities were substituted and waste collection routes were altered as well accordingly. This study investigates the collection and recycling costs of waste home appliances in accordance with these newly established routes and facilities, respectively. Cost survey was conducted among collectors and recycling plants of waste home appliances; consequently, tire collection and recycling costs were analyzed, correspondingly. Results show that the recycling costs of waste home appliances were much higher than that of other waste items. Since the market share of recycled materials is lacking, these waste recycling plants of home appliances can only survive under the subsidy of EPA in Taiwan. Due to some arduous problems, the subsidiary system has already caused serious financial unbalance for a foundation under EPA of Taiwan, which associated with waste recycling in Taiwan.

Upcycling generally refers to the conversion of waste materials to something useful or valuable and is a useful concept that can be applied not only to the waste design industry but also to waste recycling and resource circulation. Our study highlights upcycling as the key concept for improving the value of waste by redefining the concept as "the recycling of waste materials and discarded products in ways that enhance their value." Four upcycling strategies are linked to material flow analyses conducted on waste electronic and electrical equipment, specifically waste refrigerators and waste computers, to examine the technologies available for implementation and suggest guidelines for the promotion of upcycling. The amount of waste refrigerators collected by the formal sector was 121,642 tons/y and the informal sector, 63,823 tons/y. The current recycling ratio of waste refrigerators was estimated as 88.53%. A total of 7,585 tons/y of waste computers were collected by the formal sector and 3,807 tons/y by the informal sector after discharge. Meanwhile, the current recycling ratio of waste computers was estimated as 77.43%. We found that it is possible to introduce 28 upcycling technologies in the case of refrigerators, and 15 technologies are available to promote upcycling in the case of computers. By refining the broad concept of upcycling and looking at the stages of material flow, our approach presents universally applicable directions for incorporating upcycling in resource recovery and recirculation plans.

E-waste(폐전기전자기기, WEEE)는 많은 종류의 금속을 함유한 유가물과 유해물의 복합혼합물로 자원의 유효이용과 환경부하저감을 위해 리싸이클링 처리가 필수로 되어 있다. 특히 최근 레어메탈의 공급제약문제 등으로 도시광산자원 중에서 E-waste의 비중이 높아지고 있다. 한편, E-waste의 리싸이클링산업에 있어서 E-waste의 경제적 가치의 파악은 매우 중요하다. 이와 같은 관점에서 본보에서는 E-waste를 대형가전, 소형가전, 휴대전화기 및 PCB(전자인쇄회로기판, 기판)로 분류해서 경제적 가치를 논하였다.

E-waste는 종류가 많고 유통경로가 다양하여 눈에 보이지 않는 흐름이 주류를 형성하고 있다. E-waste에는 레어메탈의 사용이 많을 뿐 아니라 유해한 중금속도 함유되어 있어 자원확보면에서, 환경오염방지면에서 재자원화 처리가 필수적이며 정확한 재자원화 물질흐름의 분석이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 관점에서 2008년 1월부터 실시한 "전기 전자제품 및 자동차의 자원순환에 관한 법률" 중에서 E-waste와 관련된 법률내용의 골자, 리싸이클링시스템, 리싸이클링현황, E-waste 배출량 추정과 물질흐름 및 PCB의 경제학을 논하였다. 그리고 현시점에서 한국의 E-waste 재자원화산업을 약술하였다.

In order to expand the material recycling of waste plastics made of composite materials, it is necessary to develop the use of material recycling products and to secure their quality stability. In this paper, as a basic study to secure the stability of the quality of household waste plastic material recycling products, the quality characteristics of recycled materials according to the production period were compared and reviewed. In addition, the average tensile strength of the recycled products by production period for 4 months was 12.33 MPa, and the average density was 1.35 g/m3.

This research was conducted to estimate the physicochemical characteristics of waste catalyst and its in-process product from recycling and to suggest fundamental data for religious systems such as quality standards. Mo and V contents were increased from the waste catalyst to calcinated material and oxidized material. In the results of a heavy metals leaching test, Pb was not detected in any catalyst, calcinated and oxidized materials. Cu was not detected in the catalyst. However, it was detected in ${\leq}$1.16 mg/l for calcinated material and in 1.34~13.73 mg/l for $MoO_3$ oxidezed material. Concentrations in recycling in-process products (calcinated and oxidized materials) were higher than those of waste catalyst. Oil content of catalyst waste ranged from 0.01-14.03 wt%. Oil contents of calcinated and oxidized materials were greatly decreased compared to the catalyst waste. Carbon and sulfur contents as chemical poisoning material of catalyst waste ranged from 0.33-76.08 wt% and 5.00-22.00 wt%, respectively. The carbon contents of calcinated and oxidized materials showed below 20 wt%. The sulfur content showed below 8wt% for calcinated material and below 0.22 wt% for oxidized material.

As construction and expansion of wastewater treatment works is continuing, generation of sludge is increasing. Bur most sludge is not used appropriately but disposed by landfill dumping to sea. Furthermore direct landfilling of sludge cake containing moisture content over 75% has been legally prohibited since 2001 that's enforcement will be more strict in 2003. Such a situation means nowadays recycling of organic waste such as sludge and food waste is necessary. Composting is one of recycling methods commonly and used as an effective means of stabilizing organic waste and then compost can be used as fertilizer. However fertilizer law management which include standard of compost products and other fertilizers applied all sludge products indiscriminiately and was not flexible. So MOE has graded organic composts according to land applications to improve recycle of organic wastes. The classified organic compost which contains low contaminants has been possible to use as various purpose. This study enalyzed 30 samples which were raw materials for compost and compost products management well and to estimate the quality of compost products. Heavy metals were measured in Raw materials and OM/N, NaCl and VS were tested in compost products as well as heavy metals. As a result, approximate 10% of raw materials was not suitable to the grade A and 6.7% over the grade B of the regulation on raw materials for compost. In the case of 30 produced compost propducts approximate, 57% of composts was not compatible with the grade A and B of the regulation on composting product. The qualities of compost products were worse than raw materials, because the compost products have more regulation item raw materials have.
