The terminology such as ecology, environment problems, ecosystems, ecofactory, and others related to environmental problems have been recently used in manufacturing systems, since the modern industries have to consider a global ecological crisis. The indifference of recent environmental problems which may be faced now has been paid attention to all engineering areas. In this paper, manufacturing functional requirements such as disassembly, disposal, disposal, or recycling are considered in the integrated product design development, which have not been considered well in the preliminary design stage. Those functions will contribute to reduce the waste and to long the product life cycle, which also satisfies the business benefits and customer requirements. The concurrent design concepts should be applied to integrate all possible factors. Therefore, few practical concurrent engineering tools are presented in here. The objective of this paper is to develop a called green manufacturing systems for integrated product design development by concurrent design concept which can give the desirable result in product design.

Current domestic building market is in the face of a tise in construction cost as a result of labor cost and materials problems, so improvements for productivity are doing their best for finding a way out of the difficulties. But the most of technical of from work is just considered the basic role and shape. As for environment protection, the utilization of waste concrete is important. But many of studies were interesting on the resource recycling for structural concrete. The purpose of this study is the development of thin precast form using recycled aggregate and the assembling systems for permanent form by cast-in-place.

Recently, because of the increase of management system about waste concrete and the policy of recycling promotion of government, the use of recycled aggregate is rapidly increasing nowadays. But, due to the poverty of quality and the lack of KS standard, the use of recycled fine aggregate is not active. Therefore, it was intended to compare and investigate effects which types of sand and replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. As the result of this study, in the case of the recycled replacement ratio of 25$\%$, fresh and engineering properties were higher than those of natural fing aggregates with the exception of durability. Also, because quality according to types of fine aggregate shows the difference between various properties, it was considered that the profound study for this result would be necessary.

To address global climate change, various governments are investing in electric vehicle research and, especially in Korea, the application of electric vehicles to public transportation. The lithium batteries used in electric vehicles typically have an expected life cycle of 2-5 years. If electric vehicles become commonly used, they will generate many discarded batteries that could be harmful to the environment. Additionally, lithium batteries are potentially explosive and should be handled appropriately. Thus, reverse logistics issues are involved in handling expired batteries efficiently and safely. Reverse logistics includes the collection, recycling, remanufacturing, and discarding of waste. This study developed a reverse logistics process for electric vehicle batteries after analyzing the as-is process for lead and lithium batteries. It also developed possible disposal regulations for electric vehicle batteries based on current laws regarding conventional batteries.

An Ecocomplex is proposed for ecological design of the estuarine environment of Han River, which is designed upon an alternative mamagement concept of estuarine environment. The concept reveals interrelationships among estuary, delta region and urban inland with inputs/outputs and feedbacks among them. The Ecocomplex emphasizes an integration of wastewater treatment with aquaculture, agriculture and recreation, and carries out ecological treatment, recycling, and harvest processes. A module of wastewater treatment pond system is employed in the Ecocomplex, which treats a flow of 3,786 ㎥/day and is composed of a four-facultative-pond series. Treatment ponds stabilize wastewater discharged from the urban area, and concurrently produce algae for commercial or recreational fish farming. Effluent from treatment and fish ponds is reused for agricultural production. Through the waste-algae-fish-vegetable-recreation processes, wastewater from the urban settlement is recycled back to the urban ecosystem. This resource-conserving design approach can maintain a sustainable urban ecosystem, managing an estuarine environment more naturally, healthly, and economically.

현재 사회적 문제로 잘못된 자원 재활용 방법 및 경비 노동자 근로 환경 개선 필요성이 지속해서 대두되고 있으며, 최근 발생한 코로나바이러스로 인하여 배달 음식의 수요가 증가하여 각 가정에서 배출되는 쓰레기의 양이 매우 증가하였다. 이러한 사회적 문제를 효율적으로 대처하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 분리수거가 가능한 사물을 인식하여 AI 모듈로 객체 정보를 전송하고 전송된 정보에 따라 적절한 분리수거를 수행하는 스마트 분리수거 자동화 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 잘못된 객체 정보 전송을 최소화하고, 객체 인식률의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 많은 종류의 Custom dataset을 Yolo_Mark, Scaling Annoter Tool을 이용하여 직접 라벨링 하였으며 K-means Clustering 알고리즘을 적용하여 더욱 정확한 분리수거 자동화 시스템을 구현하였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 불필요한 자원과 인력 낭비를 줄일 수 있으며, 인간이 아닌 시스템에 의해 통제되므로 더욱 정확한 분리수거가 가능하다.

In this study, the existing MSS facilities were investigated for examination the the present condition of MSS treatment system. There are 23 MSS treatment facilities across the country, In total facilities, 6 facilities have economical problems, and 2 facilities were stopped the operation of establishments for technical problems, and most facilities are suffering from environmental problems, for example, odor and waste water. These kinds of problems play a role as obstacle to treat MSS efficiently. Accordingly, to reform current MSS treatment system, a few adequate measures are required. First a Guide line, which is a manual for establishment of MSS treatment facilities efficiently and environmentally friendly, must be offered from the agencies concerned of the Ministry of Environment to local governments. Second, to devise a plan for MSS treatment, Ministry of Environment and all local governments should devise a long-range policy synthetically not fragmentarily and temporarily.

As a guideline for desulfurization and dehumidification pretreatment facility for optimizing utilization of biogas, the $H_2S$ concentration is set at 150 % which can be treated with iron salts, dehumidification is the optimum value for generator operation, and the relative humidity applied at the utilization of biogas in EU is set at 60 %. We have set up the generator facility guidelines to optimize utilization of biogas. The appropriate amount of biogas should be at least 90 % of the total gas generation, and the capacity of generator facility should be set at 20~30 %. In order to equalize the pressure of the incoming gas the generator, a gas equalization tank should be installed and the generator room average temperature should be kept at $45^{\circ}C$ or less. Since the gas is not produced at a certain methane concentration in the digester, the efficiency is lowered. Therefore, it is required to install an air fuel ratio control system according to the change in methane concentration. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate for the disadvantages of biogasification facilities of organic waste resources and optimize utilization of biogas and improve operation of facilities. This study was conducted to optimize biogas utilization of type of organic waste(containing sewage sludge and food waste, animal manure), investigate the facilities problem and propose design, operation guidelines such as pre-treatment facilities and generators.

This study introduces a resource recycling system in urban apartment complex using four different technologies. The four technologies, called 4G, include a production technology for reclaimed water (Green water), a biogas production technology from organic waste (Green biogas), a reuse technology of rainwater (Green rainwater), and urban agropark (Green pyramid). Green water is the technology for producing the reclaimed water from wastewater, rainwater and underground water, and the average concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N and coliform of reclaimed water were 7.8mg/L, ND (not detected), 4.9mg/L and ND, respectively. Green biogas is the technology for producing biogas and effluent after treating organic wastes (e.g. food waste and night soil) discharged from households, and the average production rates of hydrogen and methane were $0.33m^3/m^3/d$ and $0.24m^3/m^3/d$, respectively. Green pyramid, agricultural farm operated by biogas and reclaimed water, provides a healthy and recreational space for residents, and plant growth rates using treated water and reclaimed water showed height of 1.32cm and weight of 112.8g. Therefore, 4G technologies can improve the recycling rate and treatment efficiencies of waste and wastewater in an apartment complex.
