Abstract
The formation of a recycle-oriented industrial complex needs collaboration with neighbor companies and the selection of the most effective recycling methods from available options. This study picks up Kitakyushu Eco town project in Japan as a representative case and attempts to reveal the enhancement process of the Eco-efficiency of the project under the existing industrial structure. Initially, Material flow at Kitakyushu eco town was surveyed which revealed the trouble with the existing plastics recycling system. This paper combines various plastics recycling technologies into several scenarios reflecting industrial structure and calculates the effect to the emission of global warming gas. As a result, it is shown that the collaboration with the regional industrial infrastructure makes the implementation of effective technology possible, and when coupled with appropriate transportation and distribution of resources, the Eco-efficiency of the project can be magnified.
