Gangnam-gu 'Zero Waste (Trash Zero) Popup Store' Operation

5.24~6.4 Gangnam-gu × Almang Store × Rainbow Shop... "Eco-friendly Detergents Sold in Custom Amounts"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) will operate the ‘Mimiwi Gangnam Zero-Waste Pop-up Store’ on the first floor lobby of the district office from May 24 to June 4, excluding weekends, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The district planned this project to reduce the rapidly increasing amount of waste caused by the spread of non-face-to-face lifestyles and delivery culture, in commemoration of Environment Day on June 5.

It was inspired by the recent attention on the zero-waste movement aimed at creating a waste-free environment.

With the slogan “We care for the next generation. We respect the next generation,” this project aims to promote eco-friendly and zero-waste products to a wider audience.

‘Almaeng Store,’ which has received great support from the 2030 generation, sells unpackaged products such as stainless steel straws, bamboo toothbrushes, natural loofahs, and soap.

The eco-friendly detergent brand ‘Rainbow Shop’ is also participating. Residents who bring empty containers can purchase eco-certified laundry and dish detergents in measured amounts as needed.

The district is leading projects to realize ‘Essential Environment, Gangnam,’ including recently signing a recycling business agreement with Black Yak to turn transparent waste PET bottles into eco-friendly products.

Gong Seung-ho, Head of the New Design Division, said, “Small but meaningful personal zero-waste practices will soon become the value of dignified Gangnam that cares for the next generation.”
