This study aims to review the policy for developing the recycle business and market which will contribute both regional economies and environmental reservation. For this purpose, case studies of waste plastic markets and recycle businesses were fulfilled carefully for these 2 years.
This study can be summarized as follows.
1.Suggest the idea to develop the recycle business of Okinawa by introducing policy-mix of recycle subsidies and waste taxes, recycled goods certification system, and deposit refund system.
2.Suggest the policy to encourage effectively the waste electrical and electronic equipment recycling in Korea by introducing the incentive system to DfE (Design for Environment), and abolishing the acting total recycle regulation system.
3.Suggest the policy to promote the RPF (Refuse Plastic and Paper Fuel) business which will contribute both the global warming measurement and waste plastic recycling.
4.Suggest reform of both taxation rates and spending of tax revenues in the acting energy tax system. On the taxation rate side, this study suggest a given rate, the Sustainable Tax rate, in the acting energy tax rate that internalizes social cost based on the polluter pays principle. The tax revenues, funding for the Sustainable Account, should increase the energy sustainability.
