[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The 'plastic transparent partitions,' which have become a nuisance due to the full lifting of social distancing measures, will be repurposed into clipboards, portable baskets, warning lamps, and more.

On the 19th at 11 a.m., Ulsan City will hold a business agreement ceremony for the 'Waste Plastic Upcycling Project' with Ulsan eco-friendly social enterprise 'Woosisan' and automotive parts injection mold specialist 'Korea Mold' in the situation room on the 7th floor of the city hall main building.

This agreement was prepared to upcycle the plastic transparent partitions, which were installed in public institutions, restaurants, and companies due to the spread of COVID-19 but were discarded afterward, into clipboards, portable baskets, warning lamps, and other products.

The main contents of the agreement include the city collecting discarded partitions from public institutions, promoting citizen participation in disposing of waste quarantine supplies, and supporting the development of sales channels for upcycled products.

The social enterprise 'Woosisan' will be responsible for selling upcycled products, crowdfunding for eco-friendly products, and transporting discarded partitions, while Korea Mold plans to produce upcycled products and enhance product quality.

Kim Doo-gyeom, mayor of Ulsan, stated, "Through this waste plastic upcycling business agreement, we expect to solve the disposal and waste issues of COVID-19 quarantine supplies, as well as revitalize local businesses and achieve the effect of resource circulation."
