Most of waste plastics including waste vinyls have been recycled up to about 50% of waste production, 4.5 million ton per year in 2009. To fundamentally increase the recycled amounts of waste plastics to waste production, the energy utilization of waste plastics is inevitable. But the contents of PVC included in waste plastics can limit the use as a RPF and make the air pollutants such as HCl and dioxin when it burns in the combustion system. Accordingly the source dechlorination by using heating method can be applied to make low contents of HCl as less than 0.6%. In this study the twin screw reactor using heat medium was used for the source dechlorination. As results of study, it was considered that this system is effective for the industrilal application.

This study was performed to prove the possibility of utilizing short plastic fibers made for recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) as a structural material. To measure of crack control capacity, restrained drying shrinkage cracking test was performed. In order to verify the capacity of RPET fiber, it was compared with poly propylene (PP) fiber, most widely used short synthetic fiber, for fiber volume fraction of 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0%.

Polymer concrete (PC) using unsaturated polyester resins based on recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste were used in our study for grasping its mechanical properties such as compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength, etc. by changing its quantity of resin, filler and dilution(SM) respectively. As a result of it, compressive, tensile and flexural strength of PC indicated 752kgf/$cm^2$, 80kgf/$cm^2$, and 243kgf/$cm^2$, kind of satisfaction successively. Judging from the above results, polymer concrete (PC) using unsaturated polyester resins as a coupling are suitable for construction material both in the aspect of ECO-building materials and in the aspect of superior strength of PC so that it is good possibility of success as a product.

Addition of fibers in cement or cement concrete may be of current interest, but this is not a new idea or concept. Fibers of any material and shape play an important role in improving the strength and deformation characteristics of the cement matrix in which they are incorporated. The new concept and technology reveal that the engineering advantages of adding fibers in concrete may improve the fracture toughness, fatigue resistance, impact resistance, flexural strength, compressive strength, thermal crack resistance, rebound loss, and so on. The magnitude of the improvement depends upon both the amount and the type of fibers used. In this paper, locally available waste fibers such as coir fibers, sisal fibers and polypropylene fibers have incorporated in concrete with varying percentages and l/d ratio and their effect on compressive, split, flexural, bond and impact resistance have been reported.

The injection molding is a traditional manufacturing method that can make plastic parts by just one time in mold. Therefore, the injection molding has become one of a manufacturing method, which is widely applied in a producing of plastic products. Nowadays, to use of plastic parts has increased and plastic product-model using term has been shorten. By these reasons, using term of a injection mold has fast been reduced. These produced molds will be disused and leaved in a storage after a regular term to use it. These leaved molds are sometime sold as scrap iron. But, these molds have lots parts for recycling except special parts for example, cavities, cores and eject pins, etc. In this research, we investigated when the cavity and core of in injection mold would be changed, the injection mold could be recycled. We suggested the structures and standardizations for recycling of a moldbase. We also developed a program in which can be used when the recycling moldbase design in the Auto-CAD with the recycling standards. We called this program as the Recy-Mold. For the availability of the program and moldbase structure fur the recycling standards, we experimented a used mold for automobile lens, which was remanufactured by the recycling standard. The results of this test showed feasibility for the recycling mold.

The evolved energy concept has been demonstrated to fir the seismic evaluation of various steel connection details with the objective basis. For this, the strain energy stored in the structural system obtained from the experimental database has been normalized by that of a benchmark system. In this notion, the ideal elastic-perfectly plastic structural system has been assumed as a benchmark. In addition, the attempt shows that those previously peformed experimental database can be recycled to have further significance.

Polymer concrete has more useful than cement concrete in the strength and durability. So, it is widely utilizing as panel for wall, manhole for communication, foundation and underground connection box, etc. But polymer concrete is a defect that is disadvantageous in economical aspect because cost of resin is expensive. Polymer concrete (PC) using unsaturated polyester resins based on recycled polyethylene terephthalate(PET) plastic waste were used in our study for grasping its mechanical properties such as compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and chemical resistance was tested by dealing with 20% HCl, 30% NaOH. As a result of it, compressive, tensile and flexural strength of PC indicated 752kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 80kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 243kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ kind of satisfaction successively. Also, properties of chemical resistance are superior to those of cement concrete.

Objective of this study is to identify properties on strength increase of hardened concrete and fluidization of non-hardened concrete using waste ceramics generated by construction waste, which is a type of industrial waste, and by ceramics, which is a clay plastic, during its production process, and determine length change ratio caused by drying shrinkage during substitution of recycle aggregate and waste ceramics, and whether they can be used as concrete compounds. Slump of non-hardened concrete exhibited the best fluidization and formability at recycled aggregate's replacement ratio of 60% driven by higher substitution ratio of recycled aggregate and waste ceramics while air content met the KS requirement when substitution ratio of waste ceramics was $4,000cm^2/g$. Compressive strength of hardened concrete exceeded the requirements at early age and standard age and temperature dropped by roughly $6{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ less than the standard at maximum temperature in adiabatic temperature increase, which will hopefully result in stronger durability.

Vibration-controlled concrete has been developed by using various concrete mixtures, such as latex, rubber powders, plastic resins and polystyrene(styrofoam). As part of the recycling research of obsolete aged tires and plastic materials, various vibration-reducing mixtures are used for 10 concrete panels having above 200 kg/cm$^2$ in uniaxial compressive strength. Plywood box with sand uniformly saturated by the raining device has been used for the analysis of the impact wave, of which data have been transfered by the FFT technique to comparatively investigate damping ratios of 10 concrete panels.According to wave propagation analysis on vibration-controlled concrete for this research, it can be concluded that Latex concrete has relatively larger damping ratios than those for noncontrolled normal concrete in a similar compressive strength

A wood-plastic composite (WPC) paver block was manufactured using wood chips waste through an extrusion process, and it was intended to be used for paving in basic rest areas. The first stage in this study covered preliminary tests in terms of flexural strength and dimensional swelling to determine the optimal WPC compounding mix condition, by variation of the WPC ingredients. Next, three different paver blocks including the WPC block, a non-porous cement block, and a porous cement block were tested in terms of various material properties in the laboratory. Finally, two outdoor test sections of the proposed paver blocks were prepared to simulate a basic rest area. Test results indicated that the flexural strength of the WPC paver blocks was about 1.6 times greater than that of the tested cement paver blocks. The WPC block pavement was unaffected by water buoyance as well as volume expansion due to swelling. Results from the impact absorbance test and light falling weight deflectometer (LFWD) test clearly showed that the WPC block paving system marginally satisfied the comfortable and safe hardness range from the pedestrians' perspective, while the results demonstrated that it is structurally sound for application as a road paving block.
