FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention. Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 4 shows a conceptual diagram of a recycling process model. A group of processes constituting the recycling is defined as a unit recycling process (401), and the object to be recycled is an object to be recycled (402), and resources to be input to the process system are input resources (403),
The reusable material output from the process system is referred to as an output material (404), and the environmentally-harmful material simultaneously discharged from the process is referred to as an emission material (405). In the following processing, this unit recycling process is set as one unit, and the processing is repeatedly performed in a chain, thereby constructing a larger recycling process in a chain of the network system.

First, when a new unit process model is registered from a participating organization on the network, the process model data of the recycling process is input to the process model database (201) via the input device (210) (step 301). . FIG. 5 is an example of process model data registered by a participating organization. The process model data includes a process model code (501), an object to be recycled (502), a recycling process (503), an output substance (504), an input resource (505), and an emission substance (50).
6).

Next, with the first registration request from an organization participating in the network as a trigger, the environmental load of the recycling process model at that time is evaluated (step 302). FIG. 5 shows an example of the process model data. The process model data includes a process model code (501), an object to be recycled (502), a recycling process (503), an output substance (504), an input resource (505), and an emission substance (506). Here, the input resources (50
5) and the emissions (506) as keys, read the environmental load intensity unit data from the environmental load intensity unit master into the process model setting module. FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the environmental load intensity unit master. The environmental load intensity unit master is
It is composed of a substance / resource (601) and an environmental load coefficient for each environmental load item (602). Various items can be considered as the environmental load items according to the purpose (for example, acidification effect, odor, noise, etc.). The environmental load factor referred to here may be set and maintained according to a certain logical standard. The reciprocal of the emission standard value of the area or the “Eco point normalized based on a certain concept” A known concept such as "" or "ELU" may be used. Here, the environmental load in the recycling process is calculated based on the data of the environmental load basic unit master. For example, according to FIG. 5, when the substance A is heated and fired to output the substance B, the input resource is energy 10
[J] Since the emitted substances are CO2 0.001 [Kg] and BOD 0.02 [Kg], the total point of environmental load of this process model is calculated as follows.

(Environmental load of heating and baking treatment of substance A) =
10 [J] x 1.5 [points / J] + 0.01 [Kg] x (1 + 1) [points / K
g] +0.2 [Kg] × 1 [point / Kg] = 15.22 [point] The result of calculating the environmental load is shown in FIG. Here, the environmental load degree can be calculated for each environmental load item (703), and statistical management for each environmental load item can be performed.
In addition, the load items are weighted according to the environmental policy (70
4) It is also possible to evaluate (705).

The recycling process model evaluated for the degree of environmental load is stored in the process model database (201), and is configured to discharge waste, to process / process waste, to recycle waste, and to recycle waste. It is open to organizations that use oxidized materials and organizations that transport waste. (Step 303) An organization that discharges waste, an organization that processes / processes waste,
The organizations that recycle waste, the organizations that use regenerated materials, and the organizations that transport waste have key processes, such as recyclables, recycling processes, output materials, input resources, and emissions that are of interest. The model can be freely searched (step 304), and a request can be registered for the process model (step 306). FIG. 8 shows that the agency that processes / processes waste has process code A000.
Request data required for the process model No. 1; a process code (801); a target process (802) assigned to the requester; a requester (803); a request place (804); , Request quantity (8
06), request quality level (807), requester request unit price (808), request frequency (809), and requesting organization (8)
10).

When the supply registration for the requested process is made, first, the requested quantity (806) and the required quality (80)
7) Matching is sequentially performed for the required unit price (808) and the required period (810) (step 306). If there is no matching supply case, the process waits for registration of the supply case (step 305). With respect to the supply registration satisfying all the requirements, cost evaluation as a physical process is performed (step 307). That is, using the supply starting point (905) and the supply means (906) of the registered supply data and the requested place (804) in the request data as keys, the physical cost generation unit data from the physical distribution cost unit database is used. It reads in (204) and calculates the distribution cost in the process. On the other hand, the purchase cost (1104) is calculated from the supply amount (902) and the supply unit price (904) in the registered supply data, and the total is calculated to calculate the total cost (1109) of the physical process. FIG. 11 shows the cost calculation result. The cost calculation result of the physical process is transmitted to the requester via the output device (211) via the output device.

The requester accepts a supply case for a certain period of time, compares and examines the contents of the case, selects a case to be contracted, and transmits the contract contents via the input device (210). The contract request from the requester is sent directly to the supplier, and the output device (2
11) (step 308). As a result, if the requester confirms the contract contents and makes a contract,
The contract request information is transmitted to the contract module (206). If the contract is not made, the process waits for the registration of the supply case again (305).

The contract module (206) electronically performs a contract process between the requester and the supplier based on the contract request information of the requester (step 309). The supplier confirms and agrees on the contract content from the requester. This process is performed by electronic document exchange and electronic approval, and may be performed by a document management and electronic approval method using a known electronic mail or workflow technology.

In the transaction module (207), electronic settlement is performed according to the contract contents of the contract module (step 310). This processing may be an electronic payment method using a known electric commerce technology.

On the other hand, the authentication module (208) electronically authenticates the management, finance, technology, etc., of the organizations participating in the network system. This processing may be performed by a method of electronic approval using a known electric commerce technology.

According to the present invention, in the present situation where environmental considerations are a demand issue, recycling can be dramatically promoted by effectively linking a wider range of information.

Further, according to the present invention, the environmental load of the recycling process model can be directly reflected in the setting of the recycling process by the environmental policy of the country, local governments, corporations and the like.

Further, according to the present invention, by evaluating the cost (profitability) of the physical process, it is easy to judge the commercialization of the recycling process.
