Abstract
The recycling method of a plastic is evaluated as the applied usage of environmental utility potential evaluation technique E2-PA. The three kinds of the recycling method is energy recovery, material recycling, and oil-izing and those are compared. Supposing that a plastic for recycling is the mixture of PE and PVC, The renewable-resource intensity by each recycling method is computed and measured. As mentioned above, material recycling is advantageous when accuracy sufficient by machine sorting is acquired. However, considering the user-friendliness and the case where manual sorting is required, the profitableness of energy recovery or oil-izing is also fully considered.
