Kang Tae-sun, Chairman of Black Yak

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] BYN Black Yak announced on the 24th that Chairman Kang Tae-seon received the 'Global Quality Management Executive Award.'

The 'Global Quality Management Executive Award' is an annual award recognizing executives who have achieved business results through technological innovation and quality management activities, and who have contributed to corporate social value and responsibility.

Chairman Kang was selected as an awardee alongside Samsung Electronics President Han Jong-hee for establishing a sustainable resource circulation ecosystem through the 'BYN Resource Circulation Project,' which spans overall management activities including products, marketing, and campaigns.

BYN Black Yak has been leading domestic PET bottle recycling since last year by signing agreements with the Ministry of Environment, companies, and local governments nationwide to address the issue of existing recycled polyester fashion products relying on imported PET bottle raw materials. As a result, they established a resource circulation system for PET bottles used domestically and succeeded in developing the eco-friendly material 'Plustic,' which combines K-rPET recycled fiber with outdoor technology.

Together with partner organizations, they are promoting the 'Korea PET Bottle Complete Independence Movement,' encouraging consumers to properly separate and dispose of PET bottles, and the 'Give PET, Get New Clothes' campaign, which exchanges 15 PET bottles for an eco-friendly T-shirt, presenting a new paradigm that connects the nation, local communities, companies, and consumers as one.

Chairman Kang stated, “We will continue investing in and innovating future-oriented materials, production, and processes so that BYN Black Yak’s business model and strategy, which aim to sustain both the environment and business, can be competitive not only domestically but also in the global market.”
