Abstract
Approximately 500 mega-tons as much as 25% of input resource are disposed a year as refuse. And the municipal refuse that is approximately 50 mega-tons, and more significantly 70% of the municipal refuse are disposed by incineration plant of all municipalities districts of Japan.In 1983, the inhabitants near the location of incineration plant were thrown into a panic on realizing the high density dioxin emission from the flying ash of the refuse incineration plant, and this trouble has developed into a social problem in Japan. So approximately 4600 plant of the refuse incineration as much as 17% are suspended to operate because of the dioxin emission control by the Japanese Government.It is low possibility to operate the refuse incineration plant again, because of the financial difficulties of municipalities and the difficulties of a general consensus among inhabitants in the neighboring areas of plant.In this paper, a concept of the refuse management system that is the combination system of the floating refuse incineration plant and the refuse collection systems on shipping are proposed for solving these defective points, as the practical example of applying the proposal concept to the region of Ariake sea and its feasibility study are stated briefly.
