  • In order to review the recent technological progress and issues on the urban mine resources recycling in Japan and Korea, recycling process of the ELV(End of Life Vehicles) and E-waste(WEEE) were studied. Although technological level for processing of the ELV and E-waste is almost similar in both countries, the treatment of hazadous materials of ELV such as freon, air bag and ASR is unsufficient in Korea. In the E-waste recycling, the technological level is deeply different according to the enterprise size in Korea. Finally, the big R&D project on recycling of urban mine resources sponsored by government in both countries were discussed.

  • As world population increases and the world economy expalds, so does the demand for natural resources especially strategic metals such as cobalt. An accurate assesment of the nation's minerals must include not only the resources available in the ground but also those that become available through recycling. In this paper, data on domestic and international supply of cobalt and its applications by end-user were analyzed for stable security of cobalt resources and effective recycling of cobalt scraps. Also, an initial evaluation of the flow of cobalt-containing materials in the United States was prepared. In 2003, 8,000 metric tons of cobalt were consumed in the United States and an estimated 28% of U.S. cobalt supply was derived from scrap. The superalloy industry and catalyst industries have well-established recycling or cobalt recovery practices. Recycling rates of cobalt scraps from magnet alloy and cemented carbide were relatively low.

  • In order to review the End-of Life Vehicle(ELV) recycling system and recycling business of dismantlers in Japan, scheme of the automobile recycling law, status of ELV recycling, exports of used cars, ELV marketing business of dismantler and upgrading of used parts net work were studied. On the other hand, field survey in details for dismantling works were conducted at West-Japan Auto Recycling Co.. Although the ELV recycling system has been operating smoothly without any noticeable trouble, recycling business is running under severe circumstance. Exports of used cars have been increasing day by day through worldwide 176 countries. Finally, reuse parts of ELV concerning innovation marketing was discussed.
