On the 16th, 20 OB Beer employee volunteers, 26 ambassadors of the global beer brand 'Corona,' and about 30 employees from the Korea Fisheries Infrastructure Public Agency and the cooperation foundation participated in plogging (picking up trash while jogging) at Hajodae Beach in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do.

Ahead of the summer vacation season, OB Beer planned this event through public-private cooperation to raise awareness of marine litter issues and create a clean marine environment, in line with this year’s World Environment Day theme, "Beat Plastic Pollution."

The plastics collected through plogging will be delivered to Cut the Trash, a marine waste upcycling startup discovered and collaborated with by OB Beer, to be repurposed into textiles and other materials.
