  • In this work, source reduction of poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging are discussed as aspect of sustainability, such as reuse, refill and recycling through the various treatment methods and historical studies for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal. Since PET has good chemical, physical and mechanical properties, and provides good oxygen and carbon dioxide barrier properties, PET is one of the most widely used thermoplastic polyester in the U.S. and around the world. As the demand for non-renewable PET is increasing, several approaches have been developed to meet economical feasibility and environmental responsibility without degrading material performance. Several companies, such as Coca-Cola Co., Easterform Packaging Co. and Kraft, have tried to develop lightweight PET bottle, and some of lightweight PET bottles are already commercialized. Reuse and refilling for PET container is well developed in Europe, such as Denmark, German and Netherland by supportive legislation and policies. Recycling process is the best way to economically reduce PET waste. In consequence, advanced technique and further development must be provided due to increasing PET packaging waste.

  • Waste tires are a significant problem with the increasing in number of automobiles. Therefore, many researches have been studied on this field. Recycling is the one of the popular method aspect to environmental and economical in the treatment methods of the waste tire, which loads that the reuse of scrap tire rubber has been a challenge in the past. However, it is not easy method to melt down and mold into new products because the in rubber is a cross-linked polymer. Most difficulty in recycling is the recycled product is not economic. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop the high valuable products for reused waste tires. In this paper, we try to make an economic recycled technology using scrapped waste tires. This technology may applied for manufacturing the end products such as a rubber block and a ballast mat for high-speed train.

  • Kobe Steel, LTD. and Midrex Technologies Inc. jointly developed the FASTMET$\circledR$ process as a steel mill waste recycle technology in which the DRI product meets BF feed material or BOF/EAF feed material requirements. FASTMET(R) process turns value-less wastes into valuable DRI and sellable zinc oxide, and gives the solution for the steel mill wastes recycling from both economical and environmental viewpoints. During the development of the process, Laboratory, Pilot Plant and Demonstration Plant tests were carried out from 1990 to 1998. The first FASTMET(R) commercial plant began operation in April, 2000 and the second commercial plant started in April, 2001 Both commercial plants have proceeded successfully preying that FASTMET$\circledR$ is a suitable process for recycling steel mill waste and for producing DRI as an iron source.

  • 재생아스팔트 포장은 환경과 경제성 측면에서 일석이조의 대안으로 인식되고 있습니다. 이런 효과를 얻기 위해서는 국내에서 이 분야에 필요한 기초적인 연구가 필요하다고 판단됩니다. 특히, 재생 첨가제는 재생아스팔트의 품질 향상에 가장 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있기 때문에 조속히 발전하고 연구되어야 할 분야입니다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 시판되는 재생 첨가제에 대해서 물성 실험을 수행하였습니다. 인공 노화 아스팔트 시료에 첨가제를 혼합하여 침입도 실험결과 오일계 첨가제는 목표 침입도를 회복하였습니다. 같은 시료를 기존의 공용성 등급실험 방법으로 실험한 결과에 따르면 $G^*/sin{\delta}$ 값이 대폭 증가하여 기준을 매우 크게 상회하는 것으로 나타났으며, 피로시험에서는 노화바인더 수명과 근접한 결과를 보였습니다. 기존 공용성 등급의 소성변형 저항관련 시험인 MSCR 결과에서는 폴리머형 첨가제의 리커버리가 향상되는 것으로 나타났습니다.

  • Because paper industry spends lots amount of water, the recycling of water is very important in economical as well as environmental aspects. In order to optimize the process water recycling system, the efficiency of unit operation for water circulation, such as save-all system, CDS and settling tank, plays an important role in. In this study, the sedimentation efficiency of process water was evaluated by SS measurement with the different amounts of flocculent addition. 3 different kinds of process water were collected from fine paper mill, and applied in laboratory sedimentation equipment for the measurement of settling efficiency of SS materials. The addition amounts of alum and PAC were resulted in optimum efficiency of sediments in the condition of 100 ppm of alum and 500 ppm of PAC respectively. In the comparison of sedimentation efficiency between alum and PAC, alum showed more economical and efficient results. The SS of spill water and the particle size of suspended materials treated by alum flocculents were below 50 ppm and about 1 $\mu$m. It would be considered that the spill water can be substituted to superclear water grade.

  • This study identified fashion consumers disposal behavior and analyzed the effects of consumers pursuing values in disposal, environmental awareness, and sustainable fashion consumption attitudes in regards to fashion disposal behavior. A survey questionnaire was developed and data were obtained from 460 consumers in their 20's to 50's in Korea who had experienced fashion disposal behaviors during last 12 months. As a result, there were four different fashion disposal behaviors such as economical, practical, and social disposal as well as hoarding behaviors. Consumers pursuing values in disposal affected fashion disposal behavior. Practical and economical values had positively impacted economical disposal and hoarding behaviors. While hedonic value had a negative impact on economical disposal behavior, it had a positive impact on social disposal behavior. Also, environmental-social values had positively impacted practical and social disposal behaviors. Fashion-related environmental knowledge had positively impacted economical and practical disposal behaviors and PCE affected social disposal behavior, while environmental concerns had a negative impact on economical disposal behavior. Consumers attitude toward used-fashion items, fashion recycling, and fashion innovativeness affected all of fashion disposal behaviors. Although hoarding behavior has been an under researched area, the finding implied that hoarding behavior was affected by consumer's pursuing value in disposal and sustainable consumption attitude. Also, environmental-social values and attitudes toward used-fashion items would induce practical disposal behavior such as reuse by alteration or reform. Consumers economical and hedonic values can promote donations or exchange/resale of unwanted fashion items, which can lead to sustainable consumption.

  • 포장궤도에서는 프리팩 콘크리트방식으로 도상자갈을 충전층의 골재로 활용한다. 골재의 조건은 강도가 확보되어야 하고, 주입성 확보를 위한 입도가 확보되어야 하며, 모르터의 부착강도를 높이기 위하여 골재 표면의 불순물이 제거되어야 한다. 골재의 원활한 공급 측면에서 기존 도상자갈을 재활용하는 것이 유리하며 재활용성을 높이기 위하여 기존의 철도도상규격을 크게 벗어나지 않는 기준을 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 포장궤도에서의 도상자갈 재활용성을 확보 할 수 있는 판단 기준을 마련하기 위하여 재활용 도상자갈의 재료 및 물리적 특성, 입도별 지지력 특성, 충전성, 강도특성 등을 검토하였으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 골재 사용기준을 제안하고자 하였다.

  • Since the import ban of plastic waste in China has been enforced, plastic wastes were not properly collected and recycled in Korea. Hence, the management strategies for plastic waste in Korea should be improved by examining the regulations and policy in developed countries such as United States, Japan, EU and United Kingdom. The management strategy for the recycling cycle should be implemented to expand the labeling system of separation and discharge, reduce the consumption of plastic products, automate the separation and sorting method in recycling facilities, and improve the economical efficiency of the recycling cycle. The concept of residual waste (secondary waste) in the material flow analysis should be implemented to identify the shortage point in the plastic waste stream. Finally, the cooperation with international communities is required for a transboundary movement of plastic waste, which includes participation at the working group of international standards to recycle plastic waste.

  • 최근 재건축 및 재개발의 활성화, 대규모 택지개발에 의한 신도시 건설, 사회기반시설 확충 등의 증가로 건설폐기물이 급증하고 있다. 급증하는 건설폐기물 문제를 해결하기 위해 정부는 2003년 12월에 "건설폐기물의 재활용 촉진에 관한 법률"을 제정하였다. 이 법에 의하면 건설폐기물은 중간처리업체뿐만 아니라 건설공사현장에서 배출자가 직접 재활용할 수 있도록 규정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 택지개발사업지구에서 폐콘크리트를 현장재활용하고 있는 사례를 통하여 경제성을 분석하여 현장재활용의 타당성 여부를 규명하였다. 또한 민감도 분석을 통하여 현장재활용비용에 영향을 미치는 요소를 분석하고 그 요소들에 따른 현장재활용의 경제적 손익분기점을 추정하였다.

  • 화력발전소 석탄재는 2010년을 기준으로 약 850만톤, 연탄재는 약 74만톤 배출된다. 이는 대량 재활용되지 않아 경제적, 환경적으로 부담이 되고 있는 실정이므로, 석탄 연소부산물의 자원화기술개발이 시급하다. 석탄 연소부산물을 균질하게 가공하는 분쇄 및 선별 등의 자원처리기술을 적용하고, 석탄 연소부산물의 품질을 관리하여, 비소성 그린시멘트인 지오폴리머의 원료로 재활용하고자 본 연구에서는 석탄 연소부산물의 지오폴리머 원료화 기술에 대한 특허와 논문을 분석하였다. 분석범위는 1979년 ~ 2013년까지의 미국, 유럽연합, 일본, 한국의 등록/공개된 특허와 SCI 논문으로 제한하였다. 특허와 논문은 키워드를 사용하여 수집하였으며, 기술의 정의에 의해 필터링하였다. 특허와 논문의 동향은 연도, 국가, 기업, 기술 등에 따라 분석하여 고찰하였다.
