Abstract
Sustainable supply of minerals and energy is global problem. Metals and energy consumption in the world has increased with economic growth. Currently more than 40 metals are systematically extracted and used in many different fields in civilized society. Recycling and reuse have become very important because recycling contributes to supplying the materials and protecting the environment of society. It is not realistic that all waste materials are capable of being recycled, because recycling metals have fundamentally been competing with primary production. In this point of view, prior to discuss on current recycling technology of waste resources in Korea, world wide trend and Korean recent activity in the supply-demand far minerals and energy resources are reviewed.
본 연구에서는 우리나라 미이용 자원의 유효이용 즉, 리싸이클링의 동향을 조사하기에 앞서 다양한 자원의 전체현황을 파악하려고 노력하였다. 그러기 위해서 자원수급의 세계적인 추세를 논하였고, 우리나라와 비교 검토하기 위해서 일본의 주요금속의 머티리얼 흐름을 조사하였다. 끝으로 우리나라 금속자원, 에너지자원 및 광물자원의 수급동향을 탐색, 고찰하였다.
