[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Korea Electric Wire announced on the 29th that it will conduct a 'Used Battery Exchange Campaign' in Dangjin City, Chungnam Province, where its cable production plant is located.

The Used Battery Exchange Campaign is an event where used batteries are exchanged for new ones at a total of four locations, including the Dangjin Volunteer Center. It will be held for about 20 days from December 15 to December 3. Part of the 'Hoban Love Sharing' fund, prepared through voluntary donations from executives and employees of Hoban Group, which acquired Korea Electric Wire, will support the campaign. Korea Electric Wire executives and employees also plan to participate by collecting used batteries.

The collected used batteries will be recycled by extracting zinc, manganese, iron, nickel, and other materials through the Dangjin City Resource Circulation Center. Batteries are composed of materials that can be recycled over 95%, so if separated and disposed of properly, they can be usefully utilized. On the other hand, if disposed of with general waste, they cause soil and water pollution.

A Korea Electric Wire official said, "We will contribute to carbon neutrality through practical activities in daily life that minimize waste and accelerate the implementation of 'Green 2030,' our mid- to long-term environmental strategy."
