South Korea has made remarkable achievements and gained many experiences on waste disposal and recycling, which help our country to develop cyclic economy and construct a harmonious society. This paper summarizes the policies, regulations and specific practices on waste disposal and recycling including industrial waste and household waste in South Korea so as to provide some references for the establishment of policies related to the waste recycling in our country.

The specified industrial wastes increased 26% annually during the last 5 years from 1984 to 1988 in Korea, and the special treatment and proper management are required. The effective methods are studied on the process of generation, keeping, transportation, and treatment/disposal for specified industrial wastes and materials. Also, in this paper, the author describes the plans to develop the public disposal facilities and manage specific industrial waste properly in Korea.

The waste basalt might be recycled in concrete, resulting in energy saving and environmental protection. An half Factorial Experiments were performed with the variables of W/C ratio, S/A, Crushed stone/Basalt ratio and Slump as a preliminary study for optimum mix design of concrete. The results show that the W/C ratio is the most important factor to the concrete strength. The substitute of waste basalt up to 100% has little influence, saying that it can substitute the coarse aggregate without damaging the concrete properties.

Biodiesel is a clean energy resource that can replace diesel as fuel, which can be used without any structural changes to the engine. Vegetable oil accounts for 95 percent of the raw materials used to produce biodiesel. Thus, many problems can arise, such as rising prices of food resources and an imbalance between supply and demand. Most of the previous studies using waste cooking oil used waste cooking oil from a single material. However, the waste cooking oil that is actually collected is a mixture of various types of waste cooking oil. Therefore, in this study, biodiesel produced with mixed waste cooking oil was supplied to an agricultural single-cylinder diesel engine to assess its potential as an alternative fuel. Based on the results, the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increased compared to diesel, and the axis power decreased to between 70 and 99% compared to the diesel. For emissions, NO_x and CO₂ were increased, but CO and HC were decreased by up to 1 to 7% and 16 to 48%, respectively, compared to diesel. The emission characteristics of the mixed waste cooking oil biodiesel used in this study were shown to be similar to those of conventional vegetable biodiesel, confirming its potential as a fuel for mixed waste cooking oil biodiesel.

The rise in population and the increase of urbanization and industrial growth has resulted in an ever-increasing volume of municipal solid waste that must be regularly collected, transported, and ultimately disposed of. Therefore, over the last decade the public, commercial and legislative awareness of environmental issues has been increased dramatically on earth particularly some industrial countries which has a shortage of landfill capacity. A quality, cost and delivery lead-time are usually considered as the competitive factors for each industry. However, the concepts of environmental issue are emerging common terms and concerns more seriously. More attention than ever is being focused on the recycling and source reduction techniques to reduce the total volume of waste. Unfortunately, however, a shortage of landfill capacity and increasing disposal cost requests a fundamental solution about the environmental issue. That is the remanufacturing which allow manufacturers to minimize waste, production cost and to turn end-of-life product into a profitable product. The objectives of this research were to growth the remanufacturing system by suggesting issues and implementation methods for the remanufacturing. In order to accomplish these objectives, we introduced backgrounds of appearance and benefits of the remanufacturing.

The propose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using waste lime core to remove phosphorus from wastewater in continuous flow reaction. The phosphorus was found to be removed from municipal wastewater by hydroxyapatite crystallization and precipation. Waste lime core size 1, 2 showed phosphorus removal rate of about 90% during early 11 hrs of run time. In addition, breakpoint time was decreased by increased inflow rate regardless of waste lime core size.

The oyster shells of about 240,000 tons have been annually produced in south coast of South Korea. However, about 25% of the oyster shells (60,000tons) was recycled as oyster seeding and fertilizer due to the limited amount of consumption for such purposes. The stored amount of oyster shell in the fertilizer manufacturing company is overfilled, and thus cannot accept any more of the waste oyster shells. As a result, landfill and illegal dumping of waste oyster shells have become an increasingly serious issue since 2011. In this research, the problems generated by the oyster shells were investigated through surveying activities. One of the possible alternative solutions that can process large amount of waste economically was found to be the application of oyster shells as a construction materials.

The reclamation of food waste is brought by law in order to clean the underground water. Thus the food waste feed back system should be prepared. The electric heater and mixing tool for FIR radiation were developed in order to control the food waste fermentation. Also we suggest the optimum temperature 19$0^{\circ}C$, black enamel ware for food waste control.

Selection of appropriate liner type would be the most important factor to prevent groundwater contamination by leachate from waste management site. This report introduces the IWEM (Industrial Waste Management Evaluation Model) developed by US EPA to evaluate the potential pollution of groundwater under the waste management unit and to suggest an appropriate type of liner, and provides with the results of IWEM application to a coal-ash landfill site in Korea as a case study. IWEM uses a standard method using a database, a decision-making process based on site characteristics, and the user-friendly input-and-output system. Authors evaluate this model to be applicable in Korea provided that the database is replaced into local data.

This paper will introduce the study which is the solidification and reduction of $CO_2$ green house gas, by using inorganic industrial wastes such like waste cement, steel making slag, incineration ash and so on. These inorganic wastes contain a large quantity of CaO content in common, which is easily reacted with CaO resulting in formation of $CaCO_3$. It will be suggested in this study that the necessary of the reduction and solidification of $CO_2$ gas with using industrial inorganic wastes is for building the Korea carbon storage model in this study.
