Description

  The present invention relates to a recycling information processing apparatus and a recycling information creation program, and more specifically, information on how much contribution is made to the reduction of carbon dioxide in a recycling molded product using waste as part of a material. The present invention relates to a recycling information processing apparatus and a recycling information creation program.

  Recently, from the viewpoint of recycling of waste, waste is mixed with a resin material to form a recycled molded product. For example, chaff, which is a thin skin of coffee beans separated in the process of pulverizing coffee beans, is usually recovered as food waste and incinerated, but after refining this chaff, it is mixed with resin material and these From these mixed materials, it can be regenerated as recycled molded products such as flower pots, coffee cups, and food trays by injection molding or extrusion molding (see Patent Document 1). Moreover, resin-based wastes such as building materials are crushed and then mixed with resin materials, and recycled molded products such as building materials and store fixtures can be formed from these mixed materials by injection molding or extrusion molding ( Patent Document 2).

  By the way, in recent years, reduction of carbon dioxide emissions has been demanded on a global scale, and businesses such as companies are socially required to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in their business activities. Management attitudes toward reducing carbon dioxide emissions are becoming an indicator of corporate evaluation as corporate social responsibility (CSR).

  For example, in a coffee shop, in the process of refining coffee beans, a large amount of the chaff is released as food waste, but disposal of the food waste is a problem. Therefore, the present applicant has invented the following in-house recycling model in consideration of such problems and taking into consideration the reduction of carbon dioxide. This model uses the above-mentioned manufacturing method of recycled molded products, refines the chaff collected at its own store, then mixes it with the resin material, and recycles it as a coffee cup or food tray for use at its own store. At the same time, waste resin products such as food trays and utensils that are no longer needed at the company's store are crushed and then mixed with the resin material to be recycled as new food trays and utensils for use at the company's store. According to this model, it is clear that various types of waste discharged at the company's store are reused at the company's store, which can greatly contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. From this, the applicant is easy to understand for customers who come to the store about the traceability of waste and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from the raw materials by the recycling model described above as the social responsibility (CSR) of the company that operates the coffee shop. Further proposed to present concretely. Specifically, for each recycled molded product that is recycled from the waste discharged in the store and used in the store, numerical information that represents the carbon dioxide emission reduction effect due to the use of the waste is traceability information. To create recycling information. Then, the recycling information is converted into a QR code (registered trademark) and written on the label, and the label is attached to each recycled molded product, thereby addressing environmental issues to customers who use the recycled molded product. Appeal posture.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration diagram of a recycling information processing apparatus according to the present invention. In this figure, the recycle information processing apparatus 10 creates recycle information related to a recycle molded product formed by mixing waste with a resin material from information input by an input device 11. In this embodiment, the recycling information is converted into a QR code (registered trademark) which is a kind of two-dimensional code, and the code is displayed on a label attached to the recycled molded product. Note that the recycling information created by the recycling information processing apparatus 10 may be converted into another code such as a barcode and displayed on the label, or may be displayed on the label as a numerical value or a character. .

  As the input device 11, when a person such as a worker or an administrator inputs various information described later, the various information can be transmitted to the recycling information processing device 10. Here, a system in which the input device 11 is installed at a location different from the recycled information processing device 10 and information input by the input device 11 can be transmitted to the recycled information processing device 10 by communication means such as the Internet can be exemplified. Further, the input device 11 may be attached to the recycled information processing device 10, and information from the input device 11 may be transmitted to the recycled information processing device 10 by wire or wirelessly.

The recycling information processing apparatus 10 is configured by a computer including a processor, a processing circuit, and the like, and a program for causing the computer to function as the following units is installed. That is, the recycling information processing apparatus 10 stores the storage unit 13 that stores predetermined information, and the first CO ₂ reduction amount that is the reduction amount of carbon dioxide that is focused on the reuse of the waste without being disposed of. And a second calculation for obtaining a second CO ₂ reduction amount, which is a reduction amount of carbon dioxide focusing on the use of the waste as part of the material of the recycled molded product. Means 15 and information creation means 16 for creating recycling information on the recycled molded product are provided.

  The storage means 13 stores the amount of material used per recycled molded product and map information including a world map, and temporarily stores input information transmitted from the input device 11. It has come to be. The amount of material used is stored for each of a plurality of types of recycled molded products. The map information may be read into the storage means 13 by linking to a database existing in another device.

In the first calculation means 14, the first CO ₂ reduction amount is obtained by substituting the collected amount of waste input by the input device 11 into the following first calculation formula.

ここで、Ｘ_１は、前記廃棄物の全量を焼却処分したと仮定したときに、当該焼却処分時に発生する二酸化炭素の排出量であり、Ｘ_２は、前記廃棄物をリサイクル成型品の材料として利用可能となるように精製加工する際に発生する二酸化炭素の排出量である。また、Ｗは、入力装置１１により入力された廃棄物の回収量であり、α及びβは、実験や理論等によって得られた定数である。 The first arithmetic expression here can be expressed by the following expression, where A is the first CO ₂ reduction amount.

Here, when X ₁ is, it is assumed that incinerated the total amount of the waste, a carbon dioxide emissions generated during the incineration, X ₂ is the waste as material recycled moldings This is the amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated during refining so that it can be used. W is the amount of collected waste input by the input device 11, and α and β are constants obtained by experiments, theories, and the like.

In the second calculation means 15, when the input device 11 inputs the mixing ratio of the waste and the resin material in the material when the input recycling molded product is manufactured and the amount of recovered waste, the input information And the amount of material used stored in the storage means 13 are substituted into the following second arithmetic expression to obtain the second CO ₂ reduction amount.

ここで、Ｙ_１は、対象となるリサイクル成型品を樹脂材料のみで形成したと仮定したときに、当該樹脂材料を製造する際に発生する二酸化炭素の排出量であり、Ｙ_２は、対象となるリサイクル成型品について、廃棄物を材料にする際に発生する二酸化炭素の排出量である。また、Ｍは、記憶手段１３から抽出された前記材料使用量であり、廃棄物と樹脂材料の混合比をａ：ｂとしている。また、γは、実験や理論等によって得られた定数であり、Ｘ_２とＷは、前記第１の演算式と同一のパラメータである。 The second arithmetic expression here can be expressed by the following expression where B is the second CO ₂ reduction amount.

Here, Y ₁ is a recycled molded product of interest when it is assumed that was formed only in the resin material, a carbon dioxide emissions generated when manufacturing the resin material, Y ₂ is a target This is the amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated when using waste as a material for a recycled molded product. M is the amount of the material used extracted from the storage means 13, and the mixing ratio of waste and resin material is a: b. Further, γ is a constant obtained by experiment, theory, etc., and X ₂ and W are the same parameters as the first arithmetic expression.

In the information creation means 16, the first information on the first and second CO ₂ reduction amounts obtained by the first and second calculation means 14 and 15 and the product of the recycle molded product from the acquisition of the waste. The second information that is reflected on the map in time series until the conversion is encoded.

The first information consists of a first and a second CO ₂ reduction, the total CO ₂ reductions These were combined. Here, only one of the first and second CO ₂ reduction amounts and the total CO ₂ reduction amount can be used as the first information.

  The second information is stored in the storage means 13 when the input route 11 is used to input the waste acquisition route and the date / time and place of each manufacturing process of the recycled molded product. The map information displayed is superimposed on the displayed map information. Therefore, when the encoded second information is read by a reader such as a mobile phone, the movement path of the waste is displayed as a second information on a corresponding place on the map with time as the second information. In addition, the location and time at which each processing step is performed along each step up to the completion of the recycled molded product is displayed at a corresponding location on the map.

  Next, the procedure for creating the recycling information by the recycling information processing apparatus 10 will be described below by taking as an example the case of a coffee shop developing a chain store.

  First, the chaff as a waste, which is a thin skin of coffee beans that has become unnecessary during the coffee bean pulverization process, is collected from each store and collected for each place of origin of coffee beans. Then, specific information such as a collection number is assigned to each chaff of a predetermined unit (hereinafter referred to as “lot”) divided for each place of origin. At this time, the input device 11 inputs the specific information of the chaff in the predetermined lot, the information on the origin of the coffee beans before crushing in the corresponding lot, and the recovered amount (weight) of the chaff in the corresponding lot. Input information is transmitted from the input device 11 to the recycling information processing device 10.

  The chaff collected from each store is regenerated into recycled molded products such as coffee cups, food trays, and utensils used in the store by a known technique such as Patent Document 1 described above. That is, first, a purification process for purifying the collected chaff is performed in order to obtain a material for a recycled molded product, and then a manufacturing process for the recycled molded product is performed. In this manufacturing process, after the mixing process in which the chaff refined in the refining process and the resin material are mixed to obtain a mixed material, a molding process is performed in which the mixed material is formed into a recycled molded product by injection molding, extrusion molding, or the like. . In these refining processes and manufacturing processes, the collected chaff is tracked in units of lots, and location information such as the location of the factory that performed each process, date and time information that each process has been performed, etc. are input to the input device 11 in units of lots. The Further, the mixing ratio of the chaff and the resin material in the mixing step is input to the input device 11 in units of lots. Further, the type of the recycled molded product formed in the molding process is input to the input device 11 for each lot. The above input information is transmitted from the input device 11 to the recycling information processing device 10. The same type of recycle molded product is formed from the chaff of the same lot.

Then, in the recycling information processing apparatus 10, the chaff is refined from the carbon dioxide emission amount when it is assumed that the entire amount of chaff is incinerated by the first calculation means 14 based on the input amount of chaff collected. By reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted at the time, the first CO ₂ reduction amount is obtained for each lot.

Further, when the molding process is completed, the type of the recycled molded product formed from the corresponding lot of chaff is specified, so the amount of material used per one recycled molded product of the type is extracted from the storage means 13, Based on the input mixing ratio of chaff and resin material and the recovered amount of chaff, the second calculation means 14 is used to manufacture the resin material on the assumption that the entire amount of the corresponding recycled molded product is formed of the resin material. From the generated carbon dioxide emission amount, a second CO ₂ reduction amount is obtained by subtracting the carbon dioxide emission generated when the waste contained in the recycled molded product at this time is refined in the purification step. .

Then, the information creating means 16, the first and second CO ₂ reduction and CO ₂ total reduction obtained by summing these is QR code (registered trademark) as the first information. Further, based on the origin information input by the input device 11, the position information of the factory that performed each process, and the date and time information, the input information is superimposed on the map information extracted from the storage means 13, Second information is obtained on the map in time series from the original coffee bean of Chaff to the commercialization of the recycled molded product, and the second information is converted to a QR code (registered trademark). . The created QR code (registered trademark) is printed on a label by a printing apparatus (not shown), and the label is affixed to a predetermined part of the corresponding recycled molded product. The customer who came to the store can read the QR code (registered trademark) of the label affixed to the recycled molded product with a mobile phone, and the customer was mapped with the first information digitized by the reading. The second information can be visually recognized, and the approach of the company that manages the coffee shop regarding recycling and environmental issues is promoted to customers.

  In the above-mentioned coffee shop, coffee cups that have become unnecessary in the store due to breakage or aging, etc., waste articles such as food trays and utensils, etc., can be used as recycled molded products by using known techniques such as Patent Document 2, Although it is recycled into similar articles such as food trays and utensils and reused in its own store, the above-described first and second information are also created for such recycling. Here, a crushing step for crushing the collected waste articles is performed to obtain a material for the recycled molded product, and a mixing step for mixing the crushed waste articles and the resin material to obtain a mixed material is performed. After that, a molding process is performed in which the mixed material is formed into a recycled molded product by injection molding, extrusion molding, or the like. The first and second information here is obtained in the same procedure as described above, replacing the above-described chaff with a discarded article, and replacing the above-mentioned place of origin information with information on a store for collecting the discarded article.

  Therefore, according to such an embodiment, there is obtained an effect that it is possible to create recycle information indicating a flow from obtaining a recycle molded product to manufacturing and a carbon dioxide reduction effect by this recycle.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the case of recycling coffee chaff and waste articles in the coffee shop described above, but can also be applied to the case of creating recycling information regarding recycling of other wastes.

  In addition, the configuration of each part of the apparatus in the present invention is not limited to the illustrated configuration example, and various modifications are possible as long as substantially the same operation is achieved.
