Gwangju Seo-gu Begins Installation of EM Supply Devices and Supply of Fermentation Solution

Pungam-dong Administrative Welfare Center

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Daeseok) announced on the 6th that it has pilot-installed an EM fermentation dispenser at the Pungam-dong Administrative Welfare Center and started supplying EM fermentation liquid.

EM is a beneficial microorganism that is excellent for removing food waste and sewage odors and suppresses water decay when discharged into rivers.

Using EM together with synthetic detergents for dishwashing, laundry, and bathroom cleaning has the advantage of reducing detergent usage.

The fermentation dispenser installed at the Pungam-dong Administrative Welfare Center produces 500ℓ of EM fermentation liquid per batch, and residents can bring empty PET bottles to receive 1.8ℓ each.

The EM fermentation liquid is produced twice a month and supplied on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month, available for pickup from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

A Seo-gu official said, “We plan to conduct continuous education and promotional activities so that residents can use it effectively,” adding, “With the installation of the EM fermentation dispenser, we expect residents to conveniently use EM and for Seo-gu to advance as an eco-friendly city.”

Meanwhile, Seo-gu is the only autonomous district in Gwangju that has been producing and supplying EM fermentation liquid since 2015. EM supply tanks have been installed at Kongkong Children's Park in Hwajeong 3-dong and Ssanghak Children's Park in Sangmu 2-dong to supply EM to residents.
