Jeju Development Corporation President Kim Jeong-hak Joins 탈(脫)Plastic 'GoGo Challenge' Campaign

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Park Chang-won] Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation, which produces and sells Jeju Samdasoo, announced on the 25th that it will participate in the SNS campaign 'Go Go Challenge' for plastic-free living.

The 'Reduce Plastic, Go! Go! Challenge' is an SNS relay challenge initiated by the Ministry of Environment to pledge the practice of plastic-free living.

It proceeds by promising one thing not to do and one thing to do in daily life to reduce the use of disposable products and plastics, and then nominating the next participant.

President Kim Jeong-hak, who participated after being nominated by TerraCycle, promised to practice plastic-free living by saying, "I will refuse plastic disposable products and make it a habit to separate transparent PET bottles."

President Kim nominated Kim Yong-seop, CEO of Hyosung TNC, who is participating in the Jeju Samdasoo and resource circulation project, Kim Mi-ja, head of Seogwipo Fisheries Cooperative, and Hong Young-cheol, representative of Jeju Participation Environmental Solidarity, as the next participants.

President Kim said, "I hope that through this Go Go Challenge, many people will have an opportunity to reduce plastic use in daily life," adding, "Jeju Samdasoo will also accelerate research and development for plastic-free initiatives, such as developing bio PET that can replace plastic."

Meanwhile, Jeju Development Corporation is leading eco-friendly management by collecting waste PET bottles discharged in Jeju, including Samdasoo, supplying them as raw materials for the production of eco-friendly products, and signing voluntary agreements with the Ministry of Environment to promote separate collection of transparent PET bottles.
