Hyundai AutoEver Volunteers to Make Upcycled Aprons from Recycled Fishing Nets
Over 130 Employees and Family Members Participate
[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai AutoEver announced on the 5th that it conducted an ‘Upcycling Apron Making’ program using discarded fishing nets recycled in collaboration with Happy People as part of volunteer activities involving employees and their families for resource circulation.
About 130 Hyundai AutoEver employees and their families participated in this volunteer activity. The aprons produced were evenly distributed to community child centers in Gwanak-gu to be used during meal services and various center programs.
The upcycling aprons help reduce damage to marine life caused by discarded fishing nets, known as ghost fishing gear, and utilize these nets?which are difficult to collect and store?as raw materials by upcycling them into apron fabric. Carrying the message ‘Let’s protect the Earth,’ the upcycled aprons are used not only in social welfare organizations and community child center programs but also in social sharing activities such as murals and painting.
Yang Yunho, a manager at Hyundai AutoEver who participated in the volunteer work, said, “I hope the items produced through the volunteer activities will be usefully utilized by the beneficiaries,” adding, “I hope our participation in volunteer activities aligns with ESG practice management, which is a social issue.”
