[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yongsan-gu (District Mayor Seongjanghyun) has installed one eco-friendly Effective Micro-organisms (EM) complex machine next to the safe delivery locker near the back gate of the district office.

The machine measures 0.9m in diameter and 1.8m in height.

The eco-friendly EM fermentation solution is cultured by gathering over 80 beneficial microorganisms such as yeast, lactic acid bacteria, nuruk bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria, and actinomycetes. It can be used for ▲growing plants (pest control) ▲cleaning refrigerators and shoe cabinets (odor removal) ▲hair washing ▲bathroom cleaning ▲laundry ▲dishwashing ▲drain odor removal ▲washing vegetables and fruits.

Residents who wish to use it can visit the site from Monday to Wednesday every week, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., to receive the fermentation solution. Containers are not provided separately. Individuals must prepare their own 2-liter (ℓ) PET bottles (water bottles). The service is free of charge.

Each use allows up to 1.8ℓ per session, with a maximum of 3 bottles per person.

The weekly production volume of the fermentation solution is 500ℓ (0.5 tons). When the supply is exhausted, there will be a microbial cultivation preparation period, and supply will resume the following Monday. Depending on demand trends, the district will appropriately adjust the cultivation and supply cycle.

The fermentation solution can be stored for one month without dilution. Diluted fermentation solution must be used within 24 hours. It is not for drinking.

The district started supplying EM fermentation solution on the 19th and will hold an EM distribution demonstration at 2 p.m. on the 20th. The event will take place in front of the district’s EM complex machine, with about 10 officials including District Mayor Seongjanghyun attending.

Additionally, starting in May, ‘Green Leader Environmental Education’ will be conducted to improve the utilization rate of EM.

Seongjanghyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “Eco-friendly EM can be used for various purposes such as cleaning, laundry, and beauty,” and added, “We will distribute the fermentation solution free of charge to residents to contribute to creating an eco-friendly city.”
