Gyeonggi Institute of Economy and Science Partners with AK Plaza to Support Sales Channels for Upcycled Products

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency is recruiting companies to participate in the 'Gyeonggi Upcycle Brand Pavilion' until the 30th of this month.

The Gyeonggi Upcycle Brand Pavilion is aimed at supporting the market development of upcycle products within the province and will be established in collaboration with AK Plaza at the AK Plaza in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, in September.

The recruitment target includes small and medium-sized enterprises registered in the province as of the announcement date, engaged in the production and sales of upcycle and eco-design fashion accessories and living items, capable of entering department stores and selling products.

Businesses that relocated to Gyeonggi-do before September are also eligible to participate.

The sales items include fashion, accessories, furniture, lighting, interior, and daily necessities. However, the basic materials must be recycled products utilizing waste resources, and participating companies must have their own independent recycling brand.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form along with company and brand introduction, product description, and product images from the Gyeonggi Upcycle Plaza website (www.ggupcycle.or.kr), filling them out, and sending them via email to upcycle@gbsa.or.kr.

The Gyeonggi Economic Science Promotion Agency will select about 15 companies through evaluation.

Ji Woon-geun, Director of the Gyeonggi Upcycle Plaza Center, said, "Recently, the trend of 'value consumption,' which emphasizes the importance of environmental and sustainability values, is spreading," adding, "We hope that the Upcycle Brand Pavilion will serve as a venue to showcase competitive Gyeonggi upcycle companies' products and inform consumers of the appeal of value consumption."
