[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] hy is taking cooperation to practice carbon neutrality and build a resource-circulating society.

On the 21st, hy announced that it signed a "Paper Pack Collection Volunteer Activation Business Agreement" together with the Ministry of Environment, Korea Central Volunteer Center, Namyang Dairy Products, Maeil Dairies, Seoul Milk Cooperative, Jung Sik Food, and Korea Packaging Recycling Business Cooperative.

This business agreement was made by companies who shared the need to raise awareness about separate disposal of paper packs. Paper packs are easily discarded without recycling if disposed of together with waste paper. According to the Ministry of Environment, the domestic paper pack recycling rate has been decreasing every year, falling to 15.8% in 2020.

According to the agreement, hy will support the activation of volunteering and encourage participation. It will provide 15,000 units of its liquid probiotic product, "Geokuro Meokneun Yakuruteu" (Yakult to be consumed upside down), free of charge and deliver them to local volunteer center volunteers or large-scale waste producers participating in volunteering. It will also help activate the campaign through internal and external corporate promotions.

Shin Sang-ik, head of hy's marketing division, said, "We actively agree on the need to build a resource-circulating society beyond the responsibility of producers," and added, "hy will continue to strive for sustainable environmental creation, such as reducing plastic use and recycling waste plastics."
