The Korean Auto industry has developed remarkably over the past 30 years. In 2005 alone, Korea produced 3.7 million vehicles, and the number of vehicles registered surpassed the 15 million marks. The rapid growth in registration, however, has given increasing problems to the traffic congestion and the environmental pollution. The system for handling of ELV in Korea is governed by the 'Motor management law'. The law places the responsibility for vehicle scrapping directly on the vehicle owners. The take-back rate of ELV reaches nearly 100% in Korea since 1987. To further entourage recycling, the government introduced the extended producer responsibility system(EPRS) starting January 1, 2003, which imposes waste recycling obligations on producers or importers. According to the system, producers must recycle home appliances and packaging materials. This system, however, did not involve the automobiles. In 2006, the automobiles recycling law is under preparing now by the government. This article is concerning current status for End-of-Life vehicle's recycling and the recycling system model for advanced ELV industries in Korea.

Since there are many kinds of non-ferrous metal, it is difficult to investigate the current status on the recycling of all the non-ferrous metals. Therefore, the survey is confined to some commercially important non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel and magnesium in this article. Domestic demand and production of these non-ferrous metals in recent years (2010-2014) and recycling ratio of the scraps are estimated briefly here.

Prior to discuss on recycling status and future prospects for the non-ferrous metals in the Korea, Japan and U.S.A. respectively, worldwide resources of non-ferrous metals and characteristics with recycling of non-ferrous metals are reviewed. In case of recovery non-ferrous metals, recycling of automobile shredder dust and E.A.F. dust are illustrated. Finally, the problems and technological developments associated with recycling of non-ferrous metals are summarized.

Magnesium has been used as parts of vehicles, case materials of notebook PC and mobile phone, and its demand has been increasing recently. So until now, there has little magnesium scraps from the end of life vehicles or electronic parts, and most scraps has been generated from magnesium processing lines such as melting, die casting and machining. It is to review the present status of magnesium recycling. Here, domestic demand of magnesium, recycling amount and technologies used in domestic recycling companies were surveyed in recent years. In 2010, 8,840 tons of magnesium scraps were processed and used as raw materials for die casting products. The recycling ratio was estimated as 32.5%.

Glass materials possess unique functional characteristics of ceramics different from those of metals, which has marked glass as one of the mainstay materials in the history of mankind. Nowadays, industrial sophistication necessitates comparable "smart" attributes of glass materials as a significantly advanced form of sophistication. Smart glasses are increasingly applied in many state-of-the-art digital appliances such as displays and semiconductors and waste is also expected to accumulate therefrom in the near future: More than 60,000 tons of smart glass wastes were reported as of 2012, for example. In the present paper, current status of domestic Korean smart glass industry and related recycling enterprise have been comprehensively investigated. Finally, Korean domestic smart glass recycling technology and its future prospect are also briefly presented.

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.
