Abstract :
The article discusses the established "Closed Material Recycling (CMR)" technology to reuse collected plastics from waste appliances for new appliances, which enables to use plastics as raw material repeatedly. It consists of three major technologies as follows: 1) disassembling technology, 2) property improvement technology of recycled plastic, and 3) quality control technology. And 420 tons of reuse of CMR plastics from wasted appliances is achieved during 2004 fiscal year using this technology
