The condition for material recycling in our country is gradually improving. However, even the current recycling rate of base metals easier to process than rare metals, is not enough. Though several suggestions have been made to improve this situation, they could not be implemented due to restrictions caused by the legal context such as the Waste Disposal Law. Also, in many cases, recycling of materials was limited due to its high treatment costs. If this situation continues to prevail, valuable metal resources indispensable for advanced technology will be lost permanently. And the toxic metals associated with valuable metals will pollute our country gradually. In order to improve the recycling rate and to prevent the diffusion of contaminants, we propose a new system taking various aspects of metal recycling into consideration. This system is based on the concept of "artificial mineral deposit". This system is a paradigm change on the way we look at waste products, as the stockpiled recycling metal is treated as ore deposit. The new system will allow various possibilities of further metal recycling and reduce environmental impact tremendously.
