[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] BYN Black Yak announced on the 27th that it has signed a multilateral business agreement with Chungcheongnam-do, the Chungcheongnam-do Mayors and Governors Council, and Sparkle to expand the transparent PET bottle recycling activation project.

Through this agreement, Black Yak will recycle transparent PET bottles collected in Chungcheongnam-do to produce its eco-friendly material called ‘PLUStIC’ and expand products using this material. PLUStIC is an eco-friendly material developed by BYN Black Yak while establishing a resource circulation system for used PET bottles in Korea.

To this end, Chungnam Province and the Chungnam Mayors and Governors Council plan to improve the method of collecting high-quality transparent PET bottles within the province, expand separate sorting facilities, and prioritize purchasing recycled raw material products. Sparkle will cooperate in resource circulation activities such as producing only label-free drinking water to make it easy for consumers to dispose of transparent PET bottles, as well as collecting and recycling empty containers.

Chairman Kang Tae-seon said, “Local governments nationwide are joining Black Yak in raising awareness of the importance of separating transparent PET bottles and establishing a resource circulation system for high-quality recycling,” adding, “Since all stages of resource circulation from disposal to collection and production are important, we will continue to strengthen cooperation with more local governments and companies.”

Meanwhile, the signing ceremony held on the afternoon of the 26th at Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Office was attended by Black Yak Chairman Kang Tae-seon, Chungnam Governor Yang Seung-jo, Kim Seok-hwan, Mayor of Hongseong County and Vice Chairman of the Chungnam Mayors and Governors Council, Jeon Dong-hoon, CEO of Sparkle, and other officials.
