Abstract

These days many companies are trying to reduce, recycle and reuse their wastes. Even though many wastes can be recycled, those are incinerated or landfilled. To solve these problems, there are many projects to make efforts to recycle wastes in especially the industrial complexes. But, due to the absence of information about waste recycling, recyclable wastes are still incinerated or landfilled. Based on these research background, this study aims to suggest the evaluation methodology of the $CO_2$ emissions and cost reduced by circulating the industrial waste to resource. We evaluated the environmental and economic effect between companies which emit the plastic waste and organic solvent waste and use them as raw-materials in the off-line recycling information exchange network. The environmental and economic aspects were analyzed comparing waste recycling with waste incineration. By recycling the plastic waste as raw-materials, $CO_2$ emission were reduced 1,070 ton in 2009 and 1,234 ton in 2010 and 657.4 million won in 2009 and 755.0 million won in 2010 were reduced. In recycling the organic solvent waste, 7.3 ton-$CO_2$ in 2010 and 5.6 ton-$CO_2$ in 2011 were reduced and 15.9 million won in 2010 and 12.2 million won in 2011 were reduced.

오늘날 기업들에서는 폐기물을 감량화, 재활용, 재이용하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 폐기물이 재활용되고 있지만, 많은 폐기물이 소각 또는 매립되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 산업단지를 중심으로 폐기물을 재활용하기 위한 다양한 사업이 진행 중이다. 하지만, 폐기물 재활용에 대한 정보의 부족으로, 재활용가능 폐기물은 여전히 소각되거나 매립되고 있다. 이러한 배경 하에, 본 연구는 기업의 폐기물을 원료로 재활용하는 폐기물 자원순환에 의해 저감되는 탄소배출량과 경제성 평가방법을 제시하고자 한다. 그 평가방법을 적용하여 폐합성수지와 폐유기용제의 자원순환사례를 평가하였다. 재활용과 소각 측면에서 환경적 및 경제적인 측면을 분석하였다. 폐플라스틱을 원료로 재이용함으로써, 탄소배출량은 2009년에 1,0705톤, 2010년에 1,234톤이 저감되었으며, 비용은 2009년에 6.57억원, 2010년에 7.55억원이 저감되었다. 폐유기용제를 재활용 할 시에는 2010년에 7.3톤, 2011년 5.6톤의 탄소배출량이 저감되었으며, 비용은 2010년에 1,591만원, 2011년에 1,218만원이 저감되는 것으로 나타났다.
