  • For the development of a resource recycling society, it is important to control the generation of waste in all processes such as production, distribution, consumption and disposal, and to recycle the recyclable resources of waste instead of simply landfilling and incineration. However, in order to develop a resource-recycling society, not only emitters, businesses, and the central government, but also local governments need to work together to find a solution. Therefore, in this study, we present a promotion strategy for the development of Sejong City's resource-recycling society, taking into consideration the current situation of Sejong City as well as changes in the government's institution system. We suggest that regionally preparing recycling priority management plan, maximizing waste resource utilization, establishing recycling industry activation plan, and building a systematic and efficient recycling platform, etc.

  • 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.

  • Since the Framework Act on Resource Circulation was enacted in 2018, the government should establish a National Resource Circulation Master Plan every 10 years, which defines mid- to long-term policy goals and directions on the efficient use of resources, prevention of waste generation and recycling of waste. In addition, we must set mid- to long-term and stepwise targets for the final disposal rate, recycling rate (based on sorted recyclable materials and recycled products), and energy recovery rate of wastes, and relevant measures should be taken to achieve these targets. However, the current industrial waste (IW) statistics have limitations in setting these targets because the final disposal rate and recycling rate are calculated as the ratio of the recycling facility input to the IW generation. In this study, the material flow from the collection stage to the final disposal of industrial waste was analyzed based on the generation of 2016, and the actual recycling amount, actual incineration amount, final disposal amount and their rates were calculated. The effect on the recycling, incineration and final disposal rates was examined by changing the treatment method of nonhazardous wastes from the factory and construction and demolition wastes, which were put in landfills in 2016. In addition, the variation of the waste treatment charge was investigated according to the change of treatment methods. The results of this study are expected to be effectively used to establish the National Resource Circulation Master Plan and industrial waste management policy in the future in South Korea.

  • Taiwan's annual steel production reached 21.29 million tons. EAF accounted for about half of this total, or 11.2 million tons in 2008. The other 10.09 million tons came from blast furnace and converter process methods. The annual EAF carbon steel production is about 9.76 million tons, and the quantity of dust generated from the EAF process is 160 thousand tons, or about 16kg of dust per ton of steel was produced. In 2009, there is Walez process for carbon steel EAF dust recycling, and the capacity is about 70,000 tons per year; and there is RHF/SAF process for stainless steel EAF dust, the capacity is 60,000 tons per year which is enough to treat stainless steel EAF dust in Taiwan. There are many new treatment facilities processes will be that introduced to recycle the EAF dust in the near future, these processes will perform smoothly and successfully in Taiwan. The estimation of recycled crude ZnO is about 90,000 tons each year. The recycling and upgrading crude zinc oxide will be the next important issue in Taiwn zinc and steel industry.

  • In this study, the treatment flow of the recyclables(paper, plastic, metal, etc.) collected and separated from MSW was investigated throughout entire phase from separation and collection to final disposal. Based on the site survey, most recyclables came into six material recovery facilities were comparatively managed well. However, some of recyclables showed irrelatively transportation flow. Because the main income source of the recyclables transportation companies is profit margin between treatment and transportation cost based on economics only therefore, it occurs an unnecessary route and long distance transportation while going to final destination. This unreasonable system should be a serious problem relating establishment of the resource recycling system. As a result of this study, in order to establish the reasonably resource recycling system, recycling center including material recovery facility has to manage the recyclables generated in close range preferentially. Also integrated its treatment system over a wide area will need to be considered as a basic step for the reasonable reasonably resource recycling system.
