환경을 고려하는 제품개발에 대한 시대적 요구는 자연스럽게 그린 디자인 개념을 형성하게 되었고, 이러한 그린 디자인에 대한 관심이 디자인의 가치기준을 근본적으로 변화시켜 나갔다. 또한 소비촉진을 부추겨 환경파괴에 일익을 담당했던 디자인은 환경문제를 고려한 새로운 디자인철학을 바탕으로 환경을 위한 실천노력이 요구되는 시점이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 환경문제를 고려한 실천노력의 하나로 플라스틱을 주요 소재로 사용하는 제품 디자인의 제품설계단계에서 폐기물을 사전에 줄이고, 발생된 폐기물 중 재생 및 재활용이 가능한 재료를 최대한 회수하여 효율적으로 자원화 할 수 있도록 구체적인 재활용 설계방법을 모색해 보았다. 연구의 진행은 재활용 설계 시 고려해야 할 요소를 재료에 관한 문제, 구조에 관한 문제, 2차 가공에 관한 문제로 나누어 진행하였다. 재료의 문제는 플라스틱 재료의 재활용 범위를 검토해보고 재활용을 가능하게 하는 재료의 선택 및 활용방법을 제시해 보았으며, 재활용 재료의 분류를 돕는 재료표시방법에 대하여 살펴보았다. 이어서 구조의 문제를 생산 및 재활용 시 조립과 분해를 용이하게 하기 위한 임시고정구조와 영구 조임 구조의 디테일 설계방법을 정리하였고, 제품완성단계에서 필요한 2차 가공방법이 재활용에 미치는 영향을 검토해 보았다. 이상과 같이 세 가지 연구방향을 토대로 재할용 설계를 위한 종합적 가이드라인을 추출하여 제시하였다.

300,000 tons of waste tires are annually being produced with development of the automotive industry in Korea. Landfill and incineration treatment system are causing the economic problem through secondary environmental pollution and waste. Therefore, as one of the ways to take advantage of this, Thermo-Plastic Vulcanized (TPV) composite was prepared by the ground waste tire and plastic powders. The waste tire powder was gained by mechanical fracturing through crushers. The waste tire powder was ground by a shear crushing method and a 2-stage disk mill method instead of cutting crushing one. The waste tire powder of 50 mesh was mixed with Polypropylene(PP) in various proportions. TPVs were prepared by an extrusion, and tensile and impact tests were performed. In addition, the same experiments were repeated in 40, 80, 140 mesh conditions in order to observe size effect of waste tire powders.

The energy generated by braking vehicle would simply be converted into waste heat by its braking resistors if no other vehicle is accelerating at exactly the same time. Up to 45% of the tractive power of vehicles capable of returning energy to the power supply can be regenerated during braking and that this energy can be used to feed vehicles which are accelerating at the same time. Such synchronized braking and accelerating can not be coordinated, the ESS(energy storage system, here after) stores the energy generated during braking and discharges it again when a vehicle accelerates. The ESS is able to store and discharge energy extremely quickly, consequently enabling a complete exchange of energy between vehicles, even if they are not braking and accelerating at precisely the same time, as is most frequently the case in everyday service. The energy saving rate is related to the headway. If the headway is long/short, the energy saving goes up/down, When the headway is short, the ESS can not save much regenerative energy. The headway of SeoulMetro line 2 as the worst case is very short in Korea urban transit system. So, the energy saving rate will be very low. If the ESSs are applied to another railway system, we can expect that the effectiveness is better than the results of SeoulMetro line 2. This paper presents effects of energy saving obtained by applying the ESS to SeoulMetro line 2.

This study investigated the occurrence of residues derived animals produced during the process of slaughter and the subsequent channels of processing those residues derived animals; the status of recycling of these residues derived animals by recycling business is investigated to utilize the results as the basic data for management purposes. At present, animal slaughter is highly specialized and the residues derived animals obtained from the slaughter of animals are separated and dissected into different parts to serve as fodder and residual compost. Some of the residues derived animals obtained from slaughter, which are edible are utilized for edible purposes and those parts which are not edible such as horns, claws, fats etc. are confirmed to be recycled. Poultry residues derived animals are mostly recycled as single-component feed, used as original forms, residual compost whereas fish remains are recycled mostly as singlecomponent feed etc. Most of the companies that recycle residues derived animals are situated in provinces such as Jeollanamdo, Jeollabukdo, Gyeongsangnamdo, Gyeongsangbukdo, where many of the slaughterhouses are located. And many of these recylcing business find themselves in the vicinity of these slaughterhouse. Majority of these slaughterhouse are capable of processing residues derived animals in the range of 10~60 ton/day, which is quite small in terms of processing capacity. The problem encountered in the recycling of the residues derived animals is the occurrence of foul smell caused by the decomposition, for which appropriate measures have to be taken. The residues derived animals are on many occasions directly collected and transported to save costs and secure required amount of residues derived animals.
