ANALYSIS OF RECYCLE-ORIENTED REGIONAL INDUSTRIAL METABOLISM MODEL WITH RESOURCE CONVERSION

Abstract

Since Earth Summit, Some concepts about cyclic systems, such as an eco-industrial park, have been appeared in order to solve serious global environmental problem, surplus consumption of resources and problems of solid wastes. Construction of recycle-oriented regional industrial metabolism model with minimum environmental load requires resource conversion facilities. In addition, there are some promotion factors to make the model, which can improve the efficiency and supply and demand balance. In this study, various conversion facilities and sectors are selected by a set of judgement process of cycle formation. The followed environmental performance is evaluated using account matrix including sectors varing from neighborhood of a factory to city-wide area. As a result of the analysis, various important factors were recognized in considering comprehensive efficiency, environmental load by the transportation, and the usefulness of this account matrix towards further progressing the complex.
