[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] Korea Expressway Corporation, Jeju Samdasoo, and SK Geocentric announced that from the 8th to the 18th during the Chuseok holiday period, they will hold a transparent PET bottle separate disposal certification photo contest event at 205 rest areas nationwide.

This event was prepared to promote the correct method of separately disposing of transparent PET bottles.

The event can be participated in directly by disposing of transparent PET bottles at rest areas. Participants must remove the contents from the transparent PET bottle, peel off the label, and take a photo of disposing it into the transparent PET-only collection bin or compactor installed at the rest area. After scanning the QR code on the poster attached to the collection bin, uploading the photo will automatically enter the event.

Prizes will be awarded by lottery, including eco-friendly picnic sets (10 people), whale dolls made from PET bottles (100 people), and coffee gifticons (400 people).

Since 2021, Korea Expressway Corporation, Jeju Samdasoo, and SK Geocentric have been promoting the correct separate disposal method of transparent PET bottles and conducting the ‘Hyu (休)-Cycle Campaign’ to establish a virtuous cycle of waste resources. Transparent PET bottles, when separately disposed of, can be recycled into high-quality raw materials, enhancing environmental protection effects.
