General Support for the Recycling Industry > Construction
of Eco-park |
Objective |
|
| |
 |
To enhance the competitiveness of the recycling
industry and nurture it as a high value industry in the 21st
century by creating a specialized complex for recycling through
joint cooperation of central and local governments |
 |
To contribute to saving production cost and enhancing the
competitiveness of recycling companies in the complex by sharing
information and logistical facilities, and throush joint treatment
of environment polluting substances, and joint R&D, and

|
| |
Business
Overview |
|
| |
 |
Eliminate environmental pollution problems and
the difficulty of securing land for small recycling businesses
|
|
| |
 |
Save production costs of wasted resources and
intermediate products |
|
| |
 |
Apply and spread verified recycling technology
(recycled oil production technology, automated separate discharge
of composite waste plastic, etc.) |
|
| |
 |
To prepare for the age of high oil prices, Korea
need to establish a framework for a waste resource recycling
system like the recycling industry complex in order to save
production costs. |
|
|
Legal
Background |
|
| |
Act on the Promotion of Saving and Recycling
of Resources, Article 34
(Creation of Recycling Complex and others) |
|
| |
Direction |
|
| |
Central (Ministry of Environment) and local
governments jointly cover the construction cost for the eco-park
and build public facilities including rental land, joint logistical
facilities, waste water treatment facilities, management buildings,
etc. |
|
| |
The
park will attract the following: |
|
| |
 |
Industries that apply technology verified in
the research of national technology development businesses |
|
| |
 |
Items with high efficiency of waste treatment
despite their low recycling rate (e.g. plastics) |
|
| |
 |
Other recycling businesses residing in the region
under the jurisdiction of certain local governments |
|
|
Expected
Outcome |
|
| |
 |
Promotion of the recycling
industry |
- Establish a foundation for nurturing the recycling industry
by resolving the difficulty in securing land
- Improve the quality of recycling products and pursue sales
promotion by strengthening complementary functions through systemization
and correlation between businesses, and exchanges of technology
and information
- Enhance productivity and profitability by saving investment
and production costs through the installation and use of joint
facilities |
|
| |
 |
In terms of society and
economy |
- Activate regional economy through job creation
- Establish a recycling industry complex that enables the reduction
of logistics costs and the joint treatment of waste and waste
water |
|
| |
 |
In terms of the environment |
- Gather small recycling businesses in a complex to assist
in the effective treatment of secondary polluted substances
generated from recycling procedures
- Prevent exhaustion of limited resources and environmental
damage and thus contribute to the environmental preservation
of national land
- Shift the current negative sentiment toward waste treatment
and facilities to a more positive view. In particular, as a
result of NIMBY sentiment, most wastes have gone to landfill
and incinerators. The construction of the eco-park would help
to foster a more positive view of waste treatment. |
