Technology and processes for recycling waste materials have been established in scientific research institutions and enterprises.
An effective technology was developed to obtain high-purity ethylene glycol and benzol and highly efficient cold-resistant plasticizer from the spent plastic bottles and use the leftovers from this process as heat-insulating material.
Plastic waste, old cotton and other waste materials have been collected in larger quantities than before and production processes based on recycled raw materials set up in industrial establishments to earn maximum profits with minimum investment and produce various products which are in great demand in the field of construction.
For example, a factory which produces some 200 kinds of goods is recycling 65 percent of plastic waste on average, 95-100 percent at the maximum.
The Eighth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea stressed that all the sectors of the national economy should step up the production and construction under the banner of self-reliance and keep up the domestic production of raw and other materials and recycling as a major policy task.
