Research Abstract	Basic research on unique material recycle process for metal/resin composite waste such as electric circuit boards was carried out. Using induction heating of metal, the surface is heated selectively and then the bonded surface between metal and resin will turn soft or melt. Finally, the bonded surface will be separated and each metal and resin is recovered with minimum material loss. When metal/resin films with simple laminate structure were used as experimental samples, easy separation of the bonded surface was confirmed by using induction heating.
