Since 1960's along with industrialization and urbanization, economic growth has been . achieved, however, at the same time, environmental condition has been seriously deteriorated. . Currently, volume of wastewater has been increasing at annual rate of 7% in sewage and 20% in industrial wastewater. However, the nation's sewage treatment serves only 33% of the municipal wastewater as of 1991. Major portion of air pollutants comes from combustion of oil and coal which comprise 81% of total energy use and emission gases from motor vehicles increasing at an accelerated rate. It is known that Korea generates the highest amount of waste per capta. Nevertheless, it is not sufficient to reduce the volume of waste by means of resources recovery and recycling. Recognizing the importance of global environmental problems such as ozone layer depletion, global warming and acid rain, international society has been making various efforts since the 1972 Stockholm conference. In particular, it is expected that the Rio conference which has adopted the Rio declaration and Agenda 21 will form a crucial turning point of the emerging new world order after the Cold War confrontation. To cope with such issues as domestic pollution and global environmental problems, the fundamental national policy aims at harmonizing "environmental protection and sustainable development". The Ministry of Environment has recently set up a mid-term comprehensive plan which includes annual targets for environmental protection. According to the government plan, gradual improvement of various environmental conditions and specific measures to achieve them is planned in time frame. Additional sewage treatment plants will be constructed in urban areas with the target to treat 65% of the nation's municipal sewage by 1996. Supply of clean fuels such as LNG will also be expanded starting from large cities as a cleaner substitute energy for coal and oil. In parallel with expansion of LNG, emphasis will be placed on installation of stack monitoring system. Due to the relatively limited land, government's basic policy for solid waste treatment is to develop large scale landfill facilities rather than small sized ones. Thirty three regional areas have been designated for the purpose of waste management. For each of these regions, big scale landfill site is going to be developed. To increase the rate of waste recycling the government is planning to reinforce separate collection system and to provide industries with economic incentives. As a part of meeting the changing situation on global environmental problems after UNCED, and accommodation regulatory measures stipulated in the global environmental conventions and protocols, national policy will try to alter industrial and economic structure so as to mitigate the increasing trends of energy consumption, by encouraging energy conservation and efficiency. In this regard, more attention will be given to the policy on the development of the cleaner technology. Ultimately, these policies and programs will contribute greatly to improving the current state of national public health.

녹색성장 정책의 핵심 단위 과제인 "온실가스 저감"과 "자원순환형 사회" 구축을 위해서는 폐기물 에너지회수와 물질재활용을 상호 보완적이고 균형적으로 실천하는 것이 중요하다고 할 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 과거 우리나라의 외국의 관련정책, "제4차 자원재활용 기본계획"과 "폐기물에너지화 종합대책"을 살펴보고 바람직한 자원재활용정책방향을 모색해 보았다. 그 결과 우리나라의 폐기물관리정책은 선진외국과 큰 차이가 없었으나 독일은 에너지회수를 중요하게 고려하고 고도 전처리를 의무화 하고 있는 점이 달랐으며, 우리나라의 여건은 과거보다 재찰용이 더욱 어려워질 것으로 판단되었다. "제4차 자원재활용 기본계획"에서는 필름류가 실질적이고 지속가능한 재활용이 되지 않고 있는 점을 알 수 있었으며, "폐기물에너지화" 종합대책에서는 RDF/RPF 에너지 회수가 일반소각 발전과 물질재활용에 비하여 효율성이 낮음을 알수 있었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 에너지 및 폐열 회수는 에너지 회수(Recovery)로 개념 정립을 하며 전 과정평가(LCA: Life Cycle Assessment) 체계를 구축하는 등 제도적인 정비와 함께 필름류 합성수지를 용해하여 분자합성수지를 추출하는 기술 등의 기술개발도 필요함을 알수 있었다.

The volume of parcel delivery is steadily increasing with the rapid growth of the global online e-commerce market. However, a large amount of packaging materials used for these parcel delivery is finally causing environmental problems as waste. The rapid increase of these packaging waste has been making many countries to research ways to reduce the generation of distribution packaging waste. In this study, we have measured the empty space ratio for 131 packagings of parcel delivery purchased through the several domestic online stores in order to investigate the present situation in connection with the degree of excessive or overpack in korean parcel delivery packagings, so that 64 packagings were exceeded 50% in the empty space ratio. And we have suggested ways to reduce the generation of distribution packaging waste raised by e-commerce-based parcel delivery through analyzing the previous research and case studies ; one is to optimize and minimize the packaging design by safe transit test(field-to-lab test), another is to develop a reusable & returnable transport packaging and system applicable in the domestic supply chain, the other is to regulate directly with a policy.

The plastic strategy adopted by the EU in January 2018 was established to implement circular economic policies and the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) of the United Nations. The strategy includes the vision and implementation measures to achieve, which are primarily measures to improve recycling and increase demand for recycled plastics. The representative measures include the design that considers recycling possibilities, reinforcement of demand for recycled plastics, suppression of occurrence, and response to micro-plastics. The policies to implement these measures include legislative restrictions and economic measures (EPR, GPP). It is especially desirable that the policies are applied differently depending on the plastic product. The Korean government has established comprehensive measures for all stages from production to recycling, but those measures are not comprehensive compared to the EU's strategy. The reason is that the refusal of waste collection makes the Korean government establish the approach from the aspect of waste management instead of the implementation of a circular economy or SDGs like the EU. The countermeasures are aimed at achieving a 50% reduction in waste generation amount and a 70% recycling rate. It is considered that the possibility of achieving the goal will increase by examining the measures and policy means in the EU's plastics strategy.

현재 국내외 관심사는 저탄소배출, 폐기물의 재활용 등을 통한 지속 가능한 발전을 위한 친환경건설산업으로의 발전을 추구하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해서는 설계단계에서부터 폐기물의 발생량을 줄일 수 있는 설계기술의 개발과 해체단계에서 발생하는 폐기물을 줄이고 재활용할 수 있는 기술을 개발하는 것이다. 그러나 국내에서는 해체산업의 발전과 지원을 위한 정책은 선진국에 비해 매우 미비한 것으로 파악된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해외의 해체시장을 분석하고, 국내해체산업의 특성을 파악하였다. 또한 국내해체시장의 규모예측과 연도별 주택건립에 따른 해체시장의 추이를 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로 해체산업의 발전방향을 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 건설폐기물 정책 및 해체산업의 발전을 위한 기본자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

근래 우리나라에는 음식물류 폐기물 등 유기성 폐기물과 관련하여 두 가지 주요한 정책이 추진되었다 하나는 1995 년에 전면 시행된 폐기물 종량제이고 또 하나는 폐기물관리법에 의한 유기성폐기물의 매립금지 조치이다. 이 두 정책의 시행으로 유기성폐기물의 발생원 감량과 퇴비화 및 사료화 등 재활용 기술의 발전이라는 긍정적인 효과를 거 두고 있으나 다른 한편으로는 법률적, 재활용의 하부구조, 기술적 측면에서 음식물류 폐기물 정책을 추진하는데 걸림돌로 작용하는 잠재된 문제점도 공존하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음식물류 폐기물 자원화 정책의 문제점을 살펴보고 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.
