On July 5, 1997, environmental Protection Administration of Taiwan publicized the recycling regulation of waste home appliances that include four items, namely, television, refrigerator, washing machine, and air conditioner. It is believed that this regulation pioneers the law enforcement of waste home appliances in the world. To comply with tile policy, several contemporary waste disposal plants specialized in waste home appliances were established according to a follow-up technical specification oil the waste treatment facilities and methodology. Therefore, the traditional dismantling facilities were substituted and waste collection routes were altered as well accordingly. This study investigates the collection and recycling costs of waste home appliances in accordance with these newly established routes and facilities, respectively. Cost survey was conducted among collectors and recycling plants of waste home appliances; consequently, tire collection and recycling costs were analyzed, correspondingly. Results show that the recycling costs of waste home appliances were much higher than that of other waste items. Since the market share of recycled materials is lacking, these waste recycling plants of home appliances can only survive under the subsidy of EPA in Taiwan. Due to some arduous problems, the subsidiary system has already caused serious financial unbalance for a foundation under EPA of Taiwan, which associated with waste recycling in Taiwan.

본 연구는 폐가전제품의 회수 및 처리 현황을 파악하고 이를 통해 재이용 및 재활용 활성화를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 대형폐기물중 가전제품의 배출량은 냉장고가 30.7%, TV가 37.8%, 세탁기가 22.9%, 에어컨이 8.5%이며 품목별 회수량은 냉장고가 38.7%, TV가 14.3%. 세탁기가 36.8%, 에어컨이 0.3%로 나타났다. 회수주체별 회수량은 지자체가 46.2%, 생산자대리점 및 물류센타가 49.7%, 재활용센터가 4.1%이며, 폐가전제품의 처리 현황은 재이용이 17%, 유가물 회수가 65%, 매립 및 소각이 18%로 밝혀졌다. 대형폐기물중 폐가전제품의 재활용을 촉진시키기 위해서는 먼저 재이용을 민간 재이용 및 재활용 조직을 활성화 할 수 있는 제도를 확립하는 것이 중요하다고 본다. 또한, 생산자에게 생산단계에서의 제품에 대한 책임을 강화 및 폐가전제품에 대한 회수 체계의 확립이 필요하다. 가전제품의 재활용 혹은 적절한 처리에 필요한 재원으로 활용될 수 있는 폐기물예치금제도의 개선이 필요하며, 제품의 내구연한 연장을 유도할 수 있도록 내구연한의 범위를 정해서 융통성있게 운영함이 필요하다. 마지막으로 폐기물 발생억제 측면에서의 소비패턴을 유도할 수 있도록 소비자를 대상으로 한 교육 홍보가 지속적으로 이루어져야 하고, 대형폐기물의 회수와 처리장소 및 처리 비용의 일부는 자치단체가 부담하고 민간대형업체가 파쇄 재활용처리하는 방식의 도입이 필요하다.

When the electrical appliances such as TVs and refrigerators become obsolete, they must be collected to the recycling centers to avoid environmental damages. The obsolete home appliances are first moved to the regional collection point; and then transported to one of the recycling centers. Each recycling center has a limited capacity; and some recycling centers can process only certain types of products. For given locations of the existing collection points and recycling centers, optimally assigning the obsolete home appliances of each type from each collection point to the recycling centers can significantly reduce the total transportation cost. We formulate this problem as an LP problem. We also present an approach to determine the locations of additional recycling centers in order to alleviate the over-utilization of the current recycling centers.

The waste home appliances including television sets, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners have increasingly received environmental concerns in Taiwan. In light of the enforcement of Waste Disposal Act (WDA), the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has certified 60 recycling/storage facilities and given permission for qualified companies to build six treatment plants around the island. Now the recycling and well treatment home appliances are estimated to be 3,342,369 units until May 31, 2001. This paper describes the present status of waste home appliance recycle and its treatment in Taiwan. The principle guidelines and policies regarding recycling, resource recovery and environmental concerns are presented.

E-waste(폐전기전자기기, WEEE)는 많은 종류의 금속을 함유한 유가물과 유해물의 복합혼합물로 자원의 유효이용과 환경부하저감을 위해 리싸이클링 처리가 필수로 되어 있다. 특히 최근 레어메탈의 공급제약문제 등으로 도시광산자원 중에서 E-waste의 비중이 높아지고 있다. 한편, E-waste의 리싸이클링산업에 있어서 E-waste의 경제적 가치의 파악은 매우 중요하다. 이와 같은 관점에서 본보에서는 E-waste를 대형가전, 소형가전, 휴대전화기 및 PCB(전자인쇄회로기판, 기판)로 분류해서 경제적 가치를 논하였다.

일본의 도시광산자원과 금속재자원화산업을 파악하기 위하여, 일본(日本)의 금속소비량, 금속리싸이클리률을 논하고, 철스크랩, 사용이 끝난 자동차, 폐가전제품 및 폐전자정보기지 등의 대표적인 재자원화산업의 개요를 조사하였다. 일본은 금속자원 소비대국이고 각종 금속 축적량 대국이기도 하다. 도시광산자원의 리싸이클링률은 자급률로 계산할 때 Pb 50%, Fe 33%, Al 25%이고, Hg, Au, Cd, Mn, Mo, Ag 등이 이어지고 있다. 그러나 기능재료에 첨가되는 레어메탈 및 REE 등은 리싸이클링 기술개발 단계라고 할 수 있다. 자동차, 가전제품 PC 등 사용이 끝난 제품의 리싸이클링산업은 활발하고, 리사이클링률은 법정기준치를 상회하고 있다.

This study was performed by measuring the minimum ignition temperature of polyurethane form recovered from the recycling process of the end-of-life home appliances. The critical ignition temperature of polyurethane form was lower as the size of the sample vessel was increased, and that of polyurethane form using cyclopentane as the forming agent was relatively lower than the polyurethane form using CFC and the combustion of cyclopentane-polyurethane form occurred fiercely. It is considered that the recycling process of end-of-life home appliances using cyclopentane-polyurethane form as the insulator would require a special fire and dust explosion prevention measures since there exists a high potential hazard of fire and dust explosion during crushing and storage processes.

Although Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are all East Asian countries, there are marked differences in the recycling policies, motivations, and methodologies of each country. One reflection of differences is the approaches each country has taken toward the OECD proposal for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). I consider the relationship of local governments and producers for Japan, Korea, and Taiwan from the perspective of EPR. First, I provide an outline of the establishment of waste home appliances (WHA) recycling systems. And then, consider the responsibility of related subjects. Lastly, I prepare the differences of EFR concept of each country.

In this paper, we propose a small waste appliance collection system that can be used for efficient waste appliance collection, and implement an unmanned automatic small waste appliance collector system. First, we collected cases related to the collection of waste home appliances, compared and analyzed methods, and arranged the characteristics. We analyzed at the requirements for the collection and management system of waste appliances by dividing it into the aspect of the discharger and the recycling business company. The collection system consists of a client-server structure, which is a collector system and a collection management server. The unmanned automatic collector system is divided into a control unit and a machine/mechanical unit. We identified the functions that the collector system must perform and the hardware required to perform these functions. Based on this, the collector system was implemented as an embedded system. The hardware and software used in the implementation are described and the implementation results are described. The collection system developed in this paper will contribute to the development of urban mining industry by enabling the efficient collection of waste appliances.
