Korea Internet & Security Agency Conducts Miscycle Campaign on Resource Circulation Day

Collected a Total of 542kg of Waste Electronic Devices, Contributing to a Reduction of 1.8tCO2 in Carbon Emissions

KISA commemorated Resource Circulation Day by conducting the first collection of waste electronic devices during the Misycle (MECYCLE) campaign period.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) announced on the 7th that it will promote the 'Misycle Campaign' until the 31st of next month to spread ESG management and eco-friendly values. Misycle is a compound word of MEDIA and RECYCLE, a resource circulation project that collects media resources (waste electronic products) and promotes recycling.

This campaign was planned to encourage the eco-friendly circulation of waste electronic devices that were discarded in daily life. The waste electronic devices collected through voluntary participation of employees are delivered to the Korea Electronics Resource Circulation Cooperative and recycled through eco-friendly processes. The profits generated from recycling waste electronic devices will be used to support tree-planting campaigns.

KISA conducted the first collection during the campaign period to commemorate Resource Circulation Day (September 6). Seven organizations, including the Korea Electronics Resource Circulation Cooperative, Jeonnam Environmental Industry Promotion Agency, and public institutions relocated to Naju Innovation City such as the Korea Creative Content Agency and Korea Power Exchange, participated together.

According to KISA, a total of 542kg of waste electronic devices have been collected through the seven organizations so far, resulting in a reduction of 1.8tCO2 in carbon emissions. This effect is equivalent to planting 12.88 pine trees.

Additionally, KISA, as a representative of public institutions in Naju, plans to attend the ‘Tantan Road Tree Planting Event (September 14)’ held at the Gwangju Viewer Media Center, receive camellia trees which are excellent for carbon absorption, and plant them at the Naju headquarters.
