[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Coway (CEO Lee Haeseon, Seo Jangwon) announced on the 27th that it will carry out a 'Post-Use Water Purifier Filter Collection Service' to collect and recycle used water purifier filters.

The Post-Use Water Purifier Filter Collection Service was planned as part of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management to fulfill the company's environmental responsibilities. Coway explained that the service targets customers who self-manage their water purifiers, and if they wish to use the service, they can apply directly by following the notification message sent by Coway.

After applying for the service, customers place the filter in the pre-provided collection packaging bag and leave it at the designated location, where Coway collects it. The collected filters undergo recycling processes such as separation and crushing to be reborn as new resources, which are used in tool bags, car bumpers, and more.

In the future, Coway plans to expand this service beyond self-managed water purifier filters to include self-managed bidet filters and others.

A Coway representative said, "We are making various efforts at the corporate level to reduce environmental burdens," adding, "Going forward, Coway will continue to act responsibly as a leading eco-friendly company in Korea and contribute to creating a clean environment."

Since declaring environmental management in 2006, Coway has announced its '2050 Carbon Neutral (Net-zero)' goal to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2030 compared to 2020 levels and achieve 100% reduction by 2050.
