Seong Chang-hoon, President of Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, "Will Lead the Circular Economy of Waste Resources"

Participation in the 'ByeBye Plastic' Challenge

Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation (KOMSCO) announced on the 17th that President Seong Chang-hoon participated in the 'Bye Bye Plastic' challenge.

This challenge is a nationwide campaign led by the Ministry of Environment since last year, aimed at reducing plastic usage.

The challenge involves promoting the reduction of single-use items and practicing plastic-free habits on social media, emphasizing participation in everyday environmental protection such as ▲voluntary environmental conservation ▲response to the climate crisis ▲carbon neutrality.

KOMSCO has a record of receiving a commendation from the Minister of Environment for achieving public institution greenhouse gas reduction targets for 12 consecutive years as of last December.

Separately from the challenge, the corporation is leading the virtuous cycle of waste resources by thoroughly separating and recycling plastics generated during the production of currency and identification cards.

President Seong said, “For an eco-friendly future, I hope all citizens empathize with environmental issues and participate in reducing plastic use in their daily lives. KOMSCO will continue to discover diverse and practical plastic-free ideas and sustain the ‘Bye Bye Plastic’ movement.”

Meanwhile, President Seong recommended Kim Kwang-seop, President of the Korea Statistical Promotion Institute, and Park Yong-joo, President of the Korea Fiscal Information Service, as the next participants in the challenge relay.
