Gwangyang Steelworks Administrative Liaison Group's 'Eco-Friendly Sharing Activities' for Multicultural Families

Delivered 'Green Kit' to 100 Multicultural Families for Carbon Neutrality and Neighborly Love: Two Birds with One Stone

"Join Us in Creating a Clean Community with the Green Kit"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] On the 8th, POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks Administrative Liaison Group steel interpreters announced that they delivered 100 ‘Green Kits’ containing eco-friendly household products to multicultural families in the region on the 7th, in celebration of ‘Blue Sky Day.’

The ‘Green Kit’ is an ‘eco-friendly household product kit’ composed entirely of recyclable products, including eco-friendly items such as natural loofahs and bamboo toothbrushes, and paper packaging without using any plastic or vinyl.

The steel interpreters prepared this sharing activity to participate in the 2050 carbon neutrality initiative through the ‘zero waste’ movement aimed at reducing waste output by cutting down on plastics and disposable products for environmental protection, as well as to practice neighborly love for multicultural families in the region.

For marriage immigrant women in the region who miss their families more than anyone else due to restricted overseas travel caused by COVID-19, they personally made six types of eco-friendly household products one by one, carefully packed them into the ‘Green Kit,’ and conveyed warm encouragement along with handwritten letters.

The delivery ceremony was not held separately to prevent group infections of COVID-19, and the kits were handed over to the Gwangyang City Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center so that neighbors from 100 multicultural families could receive them directly.

Through the ‘Green Kit’ delivered by the POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks Administrative Liaison Group steel interpreters, it is expected that neighbors in multicultural families in the region will feel pride in participating in the meaningful activity of ‘zero waste’ and contributing to the creation of a clean Gwangyang City.

Nam Hyebin, a steel interpreter who planned the eco-friendly sharing activity, said, “It was a meaningful activity to participate in promoting zero waste by making and trying out soapnut fruits and beeswax wraps, which can be used respectively instead of kitchen detergent and disposable vinyl wrap.”

Meanwhile, Gwangyang Steelworks has been continuing sustainable growth as a 100-year company by carrying out carbon neutrality activities through the Gwangyang Bay Resource Circulation Project launched on the 31st of last month, and by establishing three new volunteer talent groups in the second half of the year on the 3rd to contribute to spreading the culture of sharing in the region.
