Founded in March 2019, Chorokbyeol, a social enterprise in the environmental sector, launched the PET bottle crushing unmanned collection machine ‘PF RVM’.

The PET bottle crushing unmanned collection machine automatically crushes PET bottles immediately upon insertion and sells the cleanly crushed flakes to local dealerships or recycling collection companies. The revenue generated from sales is then used for the benefit of local residents.

Moreover, Chorokbyeol contributes to resource circulation activities by transforming separately collected PET bottles, cans, glass, waste paper, and clothing into upcycled and high-quality recycled products. Nationwide, it has established 67 resource circulation stores and collected a total of 1,320 tons of recyclable materials.

Chorokbyeol’s representative, Gong Daewon, said, “My dream is to become a global company in the environmental sector,” and added, “We will strive to develop into a company that solves global environmental problems.”

The event was organized by the incorporated association ‘International Youth Environmental Federation,’ a group dedicated to protecting and nurturing the natural environment to improve the quality of life beautifully and healthily.

This organization leads environmental protection and restoration volunteer activities under the slogan ‘One and Only Earth’ and promotes neighborly love environmental practice movements.
