재활용 장애시의 생활폐기물 처리시설용량 평가에 관한 연구

Abstract

Local government should have waste treatment facilities to provide good service to local residents, even though privaterecycling is working. There was a problem with plastic waste management in Korea in 2018. Therefore, study wasconducted on whether local government has the capacity to handle additional waste streams. The study was conducted,solely using government statistics, on domestic mixed solid waste. The amount of additional plastic waste to be disposedwas 2,418 ton/day (incinerate 713 ton/day + landfill 1,705 ton/day), and paper waste was 4,469 ton/day (incinerate 1,104ton/day + landfill 3,365 ton/day). Current incinerator capacity is sufficient, and if paper waste is added, the incineratorcapacity is found to be under1,544 ton/day. Landfill capacity is sufficient even if plastic and paper waste is added, butthe residual life of the landfill was reduced from 31.4 years to 25.4 years. Regionally, Gyeongbuk, Daejeon, Jeju, andSejong should develop new plans for waste management.
