Abstract

Abstracts In korea, the structure of the industry has changed rapidly. For instance, fiber and textile-related industry have diminished, while the electronic industry has been expanding. Such a trend of industry means that a new policy focused on products rather than production processes may be more appropriate for environment improvement. Integrated Product Policy(IPP) is a new environmental policy for overcoming the limits of traditional policy, which seeks to minimize environmental impacts by looking at all the phases of products’ life-cycle and taking action where it is most effective. To implement IPP, it is essential to identify the products that have the greatest environmental impact through a life-cycle. In this study, air pollutants emissions and water use in manufacturing phase of each product groups were estimated as a starting point of IPP. For the purpose of the estimation, the results of the investigation of air and water pollutants emitting facilities(2004) by Ministry of Environment and the input-output table of the Bank of Korea were used. We observed that the ranks of pollutants emissions of product groups were very much changed when considering the effects of consumption of the others products to produce its own products.
