[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The wood industry is joining the Korea Forest Service's carbon-neutral tree planting initiative.

On the 1st, the Korea Forest Service announced that it recently held a 'Carbon-Neutral Tree Planting Event with Wood Industry Entrepreneurs' at the urban forest in Seo-gu, Incheon, together with nine wood industry companies including Seongchang Enterprise, Sun&El (formerly Seonchang Industry), Igeon Industry, Donghwa Enterprise, Unid, Hansol Homedeck, SK Forestry, Murim P&P, and Poonglim.

The tree planting event involved wood industry companies directly purchasing and planting 100 seven-year-old cypress trees in the urban forest developed by Seo-gu Office, Incheon.

The participating companies are leading players in the domestic wood industry, utilizing 48% of domestically sourced timber, and the Korea Forest Service attaches significance to their efforts in forest creation for carbon neutrality.

Choi Byung-am, Administrator of the Korea Forest Service, stated, “To achieve carbon neutrality, the Korea Forest Service plans to promote a ‘Carbon-Neutral Tree Planting Citizen Movement’ targeting the entire nation this year,” adding, “We urge entrepreneurs, literary figures, entertainers, civic groups, and all sectors of society to actively participate in tree planting.”
