Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority Unveils Fashion Bags Made from Marine Plastics

Pleatsmama Collaborates on Marine Plastic Upcycling... Launches Four 'Kkaekkeuthayeosu' Bag Designs

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Yeosu Gwangyang Port Corporation (President Park Seong-hyun) announced on the 20th that the ‘Clean Yeosu’ edition by Pleats Mama has been released as part of the marine plastic resource circulation project.

The ‘Clean Yeosu’ edition is a product created through a business agreement with Hyosung TNC and Pleats Mama.

Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) collected from Yeosu Gwangyang Port is made into recycled yarn called ‘Regen Ocean’ by Hyosung TNC, and Pleats Mama used this to recreate the ‘Clean Yeosu’ edition.

This edition consists of four types: mini briefcase, shoulder bag, tote bag, and ball bag. In particular, the mini briefcase and ball bag are designs introduced for the first time by Pleats Mama through this project, attracting greater attention.

Additionally, the campaign video released together helps viewers easily understand the meaning behind the marine plastic recycling project.

Meanwhile, the corporation is taking the lead in preserving the marine ecosystem by establishing a virtuous cycle system for PET bottle waste discarded from ships entering Yeosu Gwangyang Port through the marine plastic resource circulation project.
