On the 20th, device demonstration with district environmental policy committee members at the back gate of the old district office... Available to all residents... Must prepare 2L PET bottles

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongjanghyeon, the mayor of Yongsan-gu, attended a demonstration of the eco-friendly Effective Microorganisms (EM) composite device held at the back gate of the district office on the 20th.

The EM composite device measures 0.9m in diameter and 1.8m in height and is a machine that collects and cultivates (ferments) over 80 types of beneficial microorganisms such as yeast, lactic acid bacteria, nuruk bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria, and actinomycetes.

The district began free distribution of EM fermentation liquid from the 19th.

Residents who need the fermentation liquid can receive it on-site every Monday to Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Containers are not provided separately. Individuals must prepare their own 2-liter (ℓ) PET bottles (water bottles).

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

The production volume of the fermentation liquid is 500ℓ (0.5 tons) per week. When the supply is exhausted, the microorganism cultivation preparation period will be observed, and supply will resume the following Monday. Depending on demand trends, the district plans to appropriately adjust the cultivation and supply cycle.

The event was attended by Seongjanghyeon, mayor of Yongsan-gu, along with three newly appointed district environmental policy committee members. The district environmental policy committee consists of 18 members (5 ex officio, 13 appointed) who provide advice on district environmental policies.

Mayor Seongjanghyeon of Yongsan-gu said, “EM fermentation liquid can be used for various purposes such as growing flowers, cleaning refrigerators and shoe cabinets, and washing hair,” adding, “To increase the utilization rate of EM, we will also conduct Green Leader training education starting next month.”
