폐지 재활용 기준 및 재활용 단계 설정에 관한 연구

Abstract

Objectives: The propose of this paper is to define the level of recycling standard and its process in paper scrap. As pollution has been raised due to the improperly treated paper scrap, the government has recently strengthened the management of the paper scrap. Methods: In this study, current status of paper scrap recycling was investigated through field survey in 2012. In addition, classification and recycling standard of paper scrap in developed countries and institutions were investigated through literature survey in order to derive optimal recycling standard. Results: As a result, contents of contaminants were regulated as the most important recycling standards, and contents of contaminants in paper scrap was measured less than 1.0% in most of the companies. Recycling standard for paper scrap was determined to be below 3% of contaminants in case of paper, and below 5% of contaminants in case of board. In this study, recycling stage was determined by considering the regulation on resources and practices in field. Conclusions: Recycling standard for paper scrap was determined to be below 3% and 5% of contaminants in case of paper and board respectively.
