우리나라가 자원빈국에서 살아 남을 길은 경제사회구조 전반을 자원순환사회로 전환하는 것이 필요하다. 환경부는 자원순환사회전환촉진법 제정을 추진하면서 2013년부터 관계부처, 산업계, 재활용업계, 시민단체, 전문가와 함께 약 50여회에 걸친 의견수렴을 실시하여 자원순환사회를 열망하는 다양한 목소리에 귀 기울이고, 이를 정책에 녹여내기 위해 끊임없이 소통하여 왔다. 하지만 이러한 정부의 노력만으로는 한계가 있다. 미래 세대를 위해 자원순환사회로 빠른 시일 내에 진입할 수 있도록, 자원순환사회로의 전환에 대한국민 모두의 관심과 지지가 필요하다.

The objectives of this paper are to introduce the GIS based resource circulation information, and to identify additional(or potential) industrial symbiosis based on existing industrial symbiosis and linkage-pair of industry by material. The resource circulation information contains information of the reuse of materials, water, and energy for all manufacturing companies in Ulsan Metropolitan City. The information can further be classified into the three steps -- input information(raw materials), flow information (products), and output information (by-products). The survey data from 3,768 industries and institutions in Ulsan Metropolitan area were collected and built into the GIS to analyze the mechanism of the industrial symbiosis. The results of this study strongly suggest that there are some additional industrial symbioses using by-products(materials, steam, waste water) and further efforts should be given to make them more effective. We expect that the methodology of building the resource circulation information of this study can be helpful to other local governments that try to build similar system.

Since Korea is highly dependent on energy imports, it has been making efforts to save energy resources by enacting laws to promote resource saving and recycling. Recently, as a part of recycling of empty bottles, a bottle unattended collecting machine has been installed in the big shopping mall in the metropolitan area. However, there is no commercialization of the unattended collecting machine in Korea and the smart device application for providing information on empty bottle recycling is not yet provided. In this paper, we have designed and constructed a bottle recycling information management system to promote resource recycling. The manager has built a homepage that can manage the information of the empty bottle and the a bottle unattended collecting machine. Also, many people with smart devices can easily access bottle recycling information by using camera and barcode search and label search.

For the development of a resource recycling society, it is important to control the generation of waste in all processes such as production, distribution, consumption and disposal, and to recycle the recyclable resources of waste instead of simply landfilling and incineration. However, in order to develop a resource-recycling society, not only emitters, businesses, and the central government, but also local governments need to work together to find a solution. Therefore, in this study, we present a promotion strategy for the development of Sejong City's resource-recycling society, taking into consideration the current situation of Sejong City as well as changes in the government's institution system. We suggest that regionally preparing recycling priority management plan, maximizing waste resource utilization, establishing recycling industry activation plan, and building a systematic and efficient recycling platform, etc.

오늘날 세계적으로 가장 보편적으로 받아들여지고 있는 폐기물관리의 패러다임 또한 '발생을 줄이고, 다시 사용하며, 재활용과 에너지 회수에 이은 최종처분'이다. 최근에는 폐기물이 재생에너지원으로 각광을 받고 있기도 하다. 그간의 정책에 힘입어 폐기물 관리제도가 상당히 정착되었으나, 아직 보완할 분야도 많다. 범정부 자원순환계획의 본격적인 실행에 필요한 인프라를 확충하는데 다소 시간이 필요하지만, 정부에서는 총력을 기울여 확대 발전시키고자 노력하고 있다.

We are striving to strengthen environmental regulations and reduce household waste in all countries around the world. Korea is also striving for the circulation of energy resources by enacting laws to promote resource saving and recycling. The government has implemented an empty bottle deposit system for the recycling of empty bottles, but there is a limit to the collection through manpower and the reverse vending machine is not localized. In this paper, we propose a recyclable bottle recognition and classification algorithm which is essential in the reverser vending machine to promote energy resource circulation. The proposed algorithm is a complex identification algorithm using OpenCV and CNN(Convolution Neural Network). In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we implement a classification system that operates in an reverse vending machine, so that it can easily acquire information about bottles and reverse vending machine in various devices.
