Lotte Mart Signs Waste Resource Recycling Business Agreement with Gyeonggi Environment & Energy Promotion Institute

Recycling and Upcycling Campaign Promotion and Awareness Expansion

Lotte Mart announced on the 28th that it has signed a business agreement with the Gyeonggi Environment and Energy Promotion Agency to promote a culture of waste resource circulation.

This business agreement aims to conduct recycling and upcycling (activities that add design elements to recycled products to enhance their usability and increase value) campaigns for waste resources such as plastic, paper, and food waste discarded in Gyeonggi Province, and to raise awareness among Gyeonggi residents about resource circulation.

Accordingly, Lotte Mart plans to collaborate with the Gyeonggi Environment and Energy Promotion Agency to open various resource circulation experience events at cultural centers in 14 stores, including the Gwanggyo branch in Gyeonggi Province. These events include making calendars using hotel waste bedding, creating flower pots and dog waste bag cases using PET bottle caps, and more. A total of six companies related to upcycling, such as 'Gachi Gongbang' and 'Dongnae Hyung,' will participate as collaborative upcycling companies in the program.

A Lotte Mart representative said, "Through this business agreement, we hope that more Gyeonggi residents will become interested in assigning new value to waste resources," adding, "We will continue to strive to foster additional upcycling companies and expand consumption of sustainable products."
