Abstract
Increasingly organic wastes (environmentalresidues) are increasingly being generated, and research on howto recycle these wastes into resources is essential. The purposeof this study is to investigate the recycling of organic wastes,which have been attracting attention worldwide, and toinvestigate the amount of organic wastes generated in Korea.The subjects of the survey were waste water sludge, watertreatment sludge, animal and vegetable residue and livestockexcretions generated in the workplace and sewage treatmentsludge, food waste and excretions treatment sludge generated inthe living environment. The treatment methods includeincineration, landfill, Composting, and energy (anaerobicdigestion).<br>This study also compared the results of analysis for countriesoperating organic wastes energy facilities in Japan or Europewith similar conditions.
