In order to use recycled aggregate as pavement base or subbase materials, the US and many other European countries have started research since the early 1980s. Korea also had a recycle idea as a plan for the vast amount of construction wastes due to the downtown renovation in the 1990s, but was not put into practical use. After the resources saving and recycle expedition law in 1994, wastes from construction sites that have more than a certain amount of construction budget were recycled as pavement base and subbase materials, but now, researches are being conducted to use them as paving materials. The use of construction wastes is meaningful in many ways. It helps the natural conservation and aggregate consumption, and also improves pavement performance. This research presents a development of cold-mixed reclaimed asphalt pavement materials using recycled aggregates.

In order to utilize inorganic components in coal and wastewater sludge as an environmentally stable material, slag-forming is considered as one of the suitable methods better than producing as an ash. Coal slag that was produced by gasification as well as the slag made from wastewater sludge by incineration or melting process have been analyzed with the viewpoint of recyclability. Slags produced by water quenching exhibited a cracked shape that has a size of few millimeters with sharp edges. Slags contain the unburned carbon content below 0.15％ and expose mostly amorphous structural characteristics. Analysis results in the extraction of heavy metal compounds demonstrate that both slags from coal and wastewater sludge could be utilized as a safe recycle material even with a Japanese environmental regulation that is ten times more stringent than the current Korean standard. Slags from coal and wastewater sludge show significant differences in contents of each heavy metal compound. Since the future trend of environmental regulation shifts to the control of total content for each heavy metal compound, proper mixing of slags that contain different heavy metal contents might be an option for manufacturing recycle materials.

The development of material separation technique for waste plastic recycling are the necessary situation restricted by law the reclamation and incineration of waste plastic after 2004, with enforcement of EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) system. As the this study is the research on the development of electrostatic separation techniques for recycling of life circles waste plastic by development of charging material and charger, the separation efficiency can be improved. Therefore, we developed the charger and electrostatic separator to increase charging efficiency and material separation per object plastics, rising these equipments, we removed PVC up to $99\%$ from two kinds of mixed plastics. And in case of restricting PVC content such as PET, we developed the separation technique that can remove PVC up to $99.99\%$ from PET with PET recovery about $80\%$. Also, as we separated over $98\%$ for three kinds of mixed plastics, and then established material separation technique to increase recycling of plastic.

현재 남해안 굴양식산업은 어업인들의 중요한 소득원이 되고 있으나, 굴양식장에서 발생되는 굴패각은 처리곤란 및 악취발생으로 인해 또 다른 해양오염원으로 그 문제성이 심각하게 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 굴양식장에서 연간 약 28~30만여톤의 굴패각이 발생되고 있으며, 그 중 10~20%는 종패부착용이나 비료로 재활용되고 있고, 80~90%는 매립되거나 야적 방치된다고 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 굴패각을 재활용하고자 굴껍질의 성분분석을 실시하여 나노고분자세라믹 코팅제의 세라믹 소재로써의 적용 가능성여부를 확인하였고, 경기도 P정수장 내 여과지 콘크리트 벽면에 코팅처리하여 그 성능을 확인하였다. 그 결과 패각의 굴껍질은 90%이상이 탄산칼슘($CaCO_3$)로 이루어져 있었으며, 굴껍질을 재활용한 나노고분자세라믹 코팅제는 pH 7.5~8.5로서 일반수도를 측정한 pH 7.3~7.8과 유사한 결과를 보였다. 또한, 나노고분자세라믹 코팅제의 콘크리트 벽면에 대한 부착강도는 한국산업규격에 제시된 폴리머의 방수재료 부착강도인 8~10(kg.f/$cm^2$)이상의 값이 나타남에 따라 패각의 굴껍질을 재활용한 나노고분자세라믹 코팅제의 경기도 P정수장 내 여과지 콘크리트 벽면 코팅제로써 적용이 가능한 것으로 확인 되었다.

In this study, we investigated a new recycling method of phenol resin, which is widely used to make electric insulation boards and adhesives, into carbon particles by using supercritical fluids. Because phenol resin is insoluble and infusible, most of the phenol resin wastes are buried in the ground or incinerated, which leads to environmental pollution. Therefore, development of a new method to recycle phenol resin waste is an urgent issue. In this study, phenol resin waste was treated with four sub/supercritical solvents: ethanol, acetone, water, and methanol. For all the sub/supercritical solvents, the phenol resin wastes were broken down into carbon nano particles at much lower temperatures than that required in the existing carbon particle manufacturing processes. We investigated the difference of morphologies and physical properties of recycled carbon particles according to the use of various solvents. As a result, carbon nano particles with the same amorphous structure were obtained from phenol resin waste with the usage of various sub/supercritical solvents at much lower temperature.

The annual requirement of domestic waste photoresist stripper solution is about 1 trillion won level (50,000 tons) depends entirely on imports for its supplies. Nevertheless, there waste strippers which contain the impurities have been recycled or incinerated to a low level of recycle. These days the recycling technologies of the waste stripper solution has been widely studied from the view points of economy and efficiency. In this paper, the recycling technologies on patent of the waste stripper solution were analyzed. The range of search was limited within the open patents of USA (US), European Union (EP), Japan (JP), and Korea (KR) up to september, 2007. Patents have been collected using key-words searching and filtered by filtering criteria. The trends of the patents was analyzed by the years, countries, companies, and technologies.

This paper proposes a green closed-loop supply chain network (GCSN) for optimizing closed-loop supply chains. The GCSN focuses on the application of the recycling express box in logistics circulation, accelerates the standardization of logistics operations and the use of express packaging in e-commerce companies, and promotes the reduction and greening of recycling express box in the e-commerce industry. The GCSN is represented as a mathematical formulation and implemented using LINGO. Greening, environmental protection, and wisdom are the general trends for promoting the growth of the e-commerce industry. Meanwhile, the price of raw materials has increased owing to a shortage of resources, which emphasizes the need for e-commerce enterprises to develop green packaging. Therefore, this study considers the shared circular packaging launched by e-commerce enterprises as the research object, and integrates the problem of facility positioning and path planning in the logistics system. The conclusion summarizes the significance of this study.

A various methodologies like eco product design, recycling, remanufacturing have been proposed for the increase of resource recirculation and energy saving worldwide. Uni-materialization in this paper, one of measures is presented. Uni-materialization is defined as the unification or simplification of material that is easy resource recycling and reduce waste generation at source during product design, manufacturing, delivery, use and disposal. This study developed calculates the qualitative and quantitative of assessment index for evaluating target products applicable uni-materialization. There are 9 assessment articles considered economic performance, technological property and environmental property and a study on target product applied assessment indexes. As a result it is possible for 3 target products to apply uni-materialization product except for a window blind, and the concrete concept of uni-materialization for improving objectivity of assessment index and the consideration of industrial distinct character are needed.

The Ministry of National Defense has developed MND-AF and Defense-CBD methodology to make the integration and management of standardization effective through enhancing the interoperability and reusability of information systems. Yet no explicit guidelines or procedures have not been developed for the applying range and mutual relationship of the artifacts between MND-AF and Defense-CBD methodology. Thus, the development time is unnecessarily extended and budget also is increasing because both methodologies produce the artifacts respectively. This paper presents a reusability enhancement scheme for producing MND-AF artifacts according to Defense-CBD process by analyzing artifacts of two methodology les at each element level, so that it will reduce the overhead of producing the artifacts and enhance the completeness of the artifacts. In result, in the case of applying Defense-CBD methodology for developing a information system34 artifacts out of 37 MND-AF artifacts can be reusable.
