폐목재 재활용 디자인 촉진과 법적 개선방안에 관한 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since 90% of raw material supply in Korea depends on importation, the country has been promoting the production and circulation of products using wood wastes through policy support, which contributed to the reduction of import dependency for raw timber in the wood processing industry. However, wood wastes has been used as the fuel incinerated for energy generation since the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) was put in effect in 2009 that the wood wastes processing industry is currently experiencing difficulties in securing sufficient quantity. Although the wood wastes is an important material that can be turned into a resource, more of it has been incinerated than recycled after RPS was implemented. The wood wastes generation is approximately 40% of annual domestic wood use, and it is necessary to fully reject the incineration of wood wastes and establish a concrete management system for activating the recycling of wood wastes considering the high import dependency for raw timber. Furthermore, it is necessary to provide legal and policy supports to promote recycle design so that wood wastes can be used to produce a variety designed goods for living beyond the level of simply producing pallets and particle boards. The purpose of this study is to promote high value added industries using wood waste, seek for possible policy supports for the recycle design industries which develop resources from wastes, and suggest a legal method of improvement in order to activate the wood waste recycling industry by examining current wood wastes generation and disposal statuses and analyzing domestic and foreign cases of products that were excellently designed using wood waste.
