Abstract
This paper estimated the amount of new agricultural waste(the waste of Tyvex and Layer thermal screen) and studied the reality of disposing Bale silage films. To study the reality of the disposal, survey was performed against farmers. In addition, the amount of agricultural waste was estimated based on the interviews against farmers and local government officers. It was found that the waste of Tyvex and Layer thermal screen were collected through a public collection site during late fall and early winter season. However, the public collection site is designated as a temporary place where only the legally-defined agricultural wastes can be collected and recycled. The waste of Tyvex and Layer thermal screen might be remained in the public collection site without being picked up. Bale silage films are also abandoned throughout a year into a public collection site. Bale silage film should be recycled from the public collection site because it is designated as EPR recycle-mandatory item. But waste haulers barely pick up the Bale silage film waste from the public collection site due to low profitability. It was analyzed the estimated amount of agricultural waste, 56.6 ton of the Tyvex waste, 283.6 ton of the Layer thermal screen waste and 175.5 ton of the Bale silage film waste per annum.
