In this study, the amount of plastic waste produced in Korea and the state of its treatment are analyzed. In addition, trends in sales prices of recyclable resources are identified and used as basic research data in countermeasures for the rejection of recyclable waste collection companies. According to the state of waste generation and disposal nationwide in 2017, the amount of plastic waste generated increased by 7.2% annually over the five-year period starting in 2012, reaching 7.1 million tons in 2016. In the case of composition ratio, 36.7% of household wastes occupy. In the case of the plastic recycling market, the demand for recycled waste plastics and plastics decreased due to sluggish domestic and overseas economies since 2015, and the prices of synthetic resins such as PE, PP, and PS of pellets dropped by about 20%. As for the selling prices of recyclable resources in apartment houses in March 2017, the average selling price including plastics is 1071 won/ month·generation. When plastic was excluded it was 941 won/month·generation, which amounts to about a 130 won/month·generation difference. The average selling price of recyclable resources over the period of March- May 2018 is about 697 won/month·generation. In March 2017, it was found to decrease by about 26% of the sale price.
