The biggest environmental issue of the 21st century is sustainable growth. Recently the environmental problems have been understood as a social obstacle of the national developing strategies. Also as the earth climate changes has became an international interest, the industrial activities are controlled and regulated by international environmental pact , directly and indirectly. Furthermore, an foreign trade restrict trend has focused to be an environmental hazard material of product.
With these reason, the government has prepared the integrated guidelines developing the surroundings when the new industrial complex is built. Also the administration would try to solve environmental problems with policy to change the old-fashioned industrial complexes as Eco-industrial Park.
In the past, industrial complexes represented economic power. But they have many disadvantages deriving from the high concentration of companies in a limited space; they have high frequency and possibility of environmental issues, and their environmental problems have immense spreading effects and risks when occurring.
The current state of environmental management in industrial complexes was examined. The results show that the emission level associated with air pollution was high in the areas where the concentration of industrial complexes was high. As for water contamination and waste management, while the number of companies to produce contaminants was small, the amounts were considerably huge in national industrial complexes, which is because of the high concentration of the companies with large discharges in national industrial complexes.
The problems with environmental management in industrial complexes can be summarized as follows:
The deteriorated industrial complexes have poor infrastructure for environmental management, are in conflicts with locals, and have many post-management contents in their policies. The amounts and kinds of their industrial waste are also many, and their waste is difficult to decompose. As a result, natural purification alone can't solve the waste issues. In addition, burying or burning industrial waste causes further environmental contamination. Since the damages of environmental problems manifest themselves over a long period, it's challenging to prove their exact causes over time. In particular, there is lack of environmental statistics in industrial complexes, which makes it more challenging to figure out the current state exactly.
In an attempt to respond to the changing international circumstances and rearrange the deteriorated industrial complexes, the government set up a plan for eco-industrial parks in 2003. They're currently converting the five industrial parks of Pohang, Yeosu, Ulsan, Banwol and Shihwa, and Cheongju into eco-industrial parks. As of September, 2009, 28 of 84 support tasks were completed, and 10 of them are in operation after successful commercialization. The 10 completed tasks generate 37.59 billion won of economic effects and cut down 184,000 tons of CO₂every year.
In foreign countries, they started the ecological conversion of industrial complexes in the 1970s and today have diverse types of eco-industrial parks. The success stories of eco-industrial parks of those nations have the following implications:
Establishing eco-industrial parks can solve environmental problems and, at the same time, produce economic profits. Cooperations among the government, companies, and community are imperative in the success of eco-industrial parks. Success is practically impossible without the voluntary supports from companies, which means that eco-industrial parks should not be forced or regarded as environmental regulations.
The followings should be improved for the successful conversion into eco-industrial parks in Korea:
They need to start to produce environmental statistics by the industrial complexes, contaminants, and periods starting with the five eco-industrial parks. It's also required to do promotions and provide education for companies and communities by using diverse media. Certain parts of eco-industrial parks should be developed as ecological parks or facilities for ecological study.
The government needs to offer supporting policies and institutions to induce the academia and industry to take voluntary part in the development and research of new technologies. Repair of old buildings and construction of new ones should be environment-friendly, considering energy efficiency in the eco-industrial parks. And they should set up an information center to manage material exchange and information within the eco-industrial parks.
