Characteristics of industrial hazardous waste generation in South Korea from 2008 to 2018 based on decoupling and decomposition analysis
Abstract
The industrial hazardous waste (IHW) generation to meet consumption is steadily increasing, resulting in environmental, health, and
social problems around the world. To address IHW at the source, it is critical to understand the generation characteristics and key
drivers on industrial hazardous waste generation (IHWG). This study analysed the generation characteristics of IHW of South Korea
from 2008 to 2018 by decoupling and index decomposition analysis using Log Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) model. South Korea
presented unstable decoupling of IHWG from economic growth, so more effective waste management regulations are needed to
support a stable decoupling. One most critical finding was that the factors of industrial output and industrial characteristic of IHWGto-energy were major driving factors influencing the increase of IHWG, whereas those of industrial structure and energy efficiency
affect to the decrease of IHWG in most industries. In addition, the result clearly confirmed that the contribution of driving factors
affecting the IHWG differs by industry. These results provide significant policy insights that the South Korean government needs
institutional improvement and refinement of customised IHW management according to the characteristics of IHWG
