"Donate Coffee Grounds and Used Clothes"... Hyundai Department Store Launches 'Eco-Friendly Campaign' at Sinchon Branch

On the 13th, models are introducing the eco-friendly campaign 'Happiness with Green Friends' at Hyundai Department Store Sinchon Branch in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Hyundai Department Store announced on the 13th that it will hold an eco-friendly campaign, 'Happiness with Green Friends,' at the Sinchon branch from the 14th to the 20th.

This campaign involves collecting items that customers find difficult to dispose of at home for recycling, including ▲ coffee grounds (byproducts left after making coffee) upcycling ▲ cosmetic container collection ▲ used clothing donation ▲ PET bottle collection.

At the campaign booth installed in front of the agency hall on basement level 2, coffee grounds brought from customers' homes are collected. The donated coffee grounds will be delivered to the upcycling company 'Coffee Cube,' where they will be reborn as eco-friendly bricks and exported. Customers who donate coffee grounds will receive a coffee grounds pencil as a gift.

Cosmetic containers are also accepted. Customers who bring cleaned cosmetic containers regardless of brand will receive a 5,000 KRW discount coupon that can be used immediately at the Sinchon branch cosmetics store. In addition, used clothes, shoes, and bags are also accepted. Items eligible for resale are targeted, and customers who donate three or more items will be given eco-friendly dishcloths.

On the 7th floor of the main building at the Sinchon branch, a PET bottle collection campaign will be held in collaboration with Black Yak. Transparent PET bottles with caps and labels removed will be collected from customers and recycled into clothing through a resource circulation system.

A Hyundai Department Store official said, "This eco-friendly event is meaningful because customers, the department store, and clothing companies participate together to give new life to items that were previously discarded," adding, "We plan to continue conducting various eco-friendly campaigns that customers can participate in."
