To accomplish the greenhouse gas reduction which is over core unit project of the "Green growth" policy and "Resource circulation society", it is important to maintain proper balance and complement between energy recovery from waste and material recycling. This research(study) examined the related policies on the past of korea and foreign country, and also "The 4th resource recycling master plan" and "Energy recovery from waste plan" to provide advisable direction for resource recycling policy. The results of the research(study) showed that there were no significant difference between korea and developed foreign countries waste management policies. But in German policy, energy recovery from waste and pre-treatment are importantly considered and highly required for permission. Under current circumstance in korea, recycling will be more difficult than in the past. According to "The 4th resource recycling master plan", film type of synthetic resin was not sustainable recycled material in substance."Energy recovery from waste plan", proved that the energy recovery from RDF/RPF have lower efficiency than regular incineration generation and substance recycling. To solve these problems, the energy and remainder heat recovery must be generalized to "Energy recovery" concept and institutional improvement such as LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) system are need to support it. And also technology development to extract synthetic polymer by dissolved film type of synthetic resin must be provided.

지구자원고강에 대한 두려움과 날로 증가되는 환경부하에 대한 우려가 높아지고 있는 가운데 이들 양쪽을 동시에 다소나마 해소시켜 줄 수 있는 '재활용'에 대한 관심도가 높아지고 있으며 선진국을 비롯해 전세계적으로 '자원순환형 사회 구축'이라는 기치 아래 재활용활성화에 대한 정책을 강화하고 있는 실정이다. 우리나라는 금년부터 생산자책임재활용제도(EPR)를 도입, 시행함으로써 재활용계의 새로운 System이 정립되어가고 있는 시점에 놓여있다. 따라서 월간 '재활용'은 재활용과 관련한 우리의 현주소와 발전방향을 진단하고 동시에 본지의 나아갈 방향을 도모하고자 국내 각계의 재활용전문가를 모시고 좌담회를 가졌다.

This paper explores the impact of public financing for recycling firms on output, using a specific case study of Korea. To this end, we employ a production function approach and apply generalized method of moment estimation technique. The results show that the impact appears to be not only positive but also statistically significant, and more interestingly the estimate for financed capital is numerically larger than that for non-financed capital.

Recently, the importance of efficient resource management has been highlighted due to the uncertainty of its security. Developed countries promote the legislative provision and transition of industrial structure to maximize the efficiency of resource use through supporting the sustainable resource management at national level. Meanwhile Korea has very sensitive industrial structure along with the international resource supply and demand conditions. It is acutely necessary to improve the resource productivity with the various action plans such as the increase of recycling rate and the establishment of methodical resource management system. Especially, the study on the direction of each flow stage and the concrete action plans for using resource efficiently in the life-cycle of resource will be required. Therefore, this study suggests the future direction of each flow stage(production stage and circulatory stage), and the concrete action plans to improve the present problems of resource management in Korea.

Depletion of natural resources and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are an important issue which we have to solve. The recycling of waste has emerged as a global concern. In Korea, the development of cost-effective treatment and recycling technologies also need to be improved. In this study, we compared and analyzed the cost per unit of treatment and recycling of organic waste, and presented an effective recycling scheme. We investigated the current status of treatment and costs for six types of organic wastes from 80 workplaces, including organic wastewater treatment sludge, processed organic sludge, and plant residues. In addition, environmental costs for greenhouse gas reduction were calculated. It's an economic way that organic waste is composted and used as cement additives. In particular, the economic analysis was done by realistic results of the survey target companies. In conclusion, in order for reliable processing and recycling of organic wastes, wastewater treatment sludge and sewage sludge need to be classified based on hazard characteristics. Finally, technical difficulties need to be further resolved such as odors, leachate, and debris on recycling organic wastes.

Used aluminum beverage can(UBC) is an important secondary resource. Domestic recycling rate of UBC should be increased from the standpoint of resource savings and environmental protection. Aluminum can to can recycling is divided into two steps. The first step was composed of the processes such as collection of used beverage cans, shredding, magnetic separation, de-lacquring, melting and casting. The second is remelting and casting, heat treatment, hot and cold rolling, annealing, and can making. With brief discussion about this recycling technology, this article covers aluminum can consumption, the present state of aluminum can recycling in Korea, Japan, USA, and Europe.

This study is conducted to find out the problems of the public food waste recycling facility operation and its improvement. In order to save the national budget by analyzing plans to expand including operation rate for the food waste recycling facility, the alternative ways are suggested. The result can be as follows: Policy switch is required not only to save budget and stable disposal of food waste but also to promote resource recycling rather than expanding public facilities. In order to change the policy for stable and eco-friendly disposal of food waste, it is necessary to adopt semipublic system that prevent the decline of the rate of operation of private resource recycling facility. Furthermore, it is required to prepare both qualified technologies of public resource recycling and the ways of profitability secure.

This study is conducted to find out the problem of the public food waste recycling facility and its improvement. By using an operation status analysis, an economic analysis was done to check up on its feasibility in comparison with an investment in the food waste recycling facility currently in use, thereby proposing the possible alternatives to prevent the national budgets form wasting with witless construction of the new facilities. As a result, it is considered necessary to come up with an effective plan for establishing the public resource facility, strengthen criteria for government subsidies being used up on the public resource facility, and enact an independent law of the food waste.
