Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) is changing its waste disposal system by recycling waste generated from large-scale development projects.


On the 3rd, GH announced that it signed a business agreement with the Korea Environment Corporation at its headquarters in Gwanggyo, Suwon, to establish a 'Waste Proper Treatment Convergence Platform.'


This business agreement was prepared to build a 'Waste Proper Treatment Convergence Platform' that realizes a circular economy by recycling, reducing, recirculating, and automating waste generated during the development of the 3rd New Towns.


Until now, all waste generated from large-scale development projects was disposed of entirely. However, with this agreement as a turning point, GH plans to separate and recycle recyclable resources such as waste home appliances, waste plastics, bottles, and cans from the waste in the Hanam Gyosan District, while simultaneously reducing the amount of waste.


Furthermore, GH aims to productize circular waste materials. For example, waste plastics generated in the Hanam Gyosan District will be turned into products such as safety vests for construction workers working in the district.


Through this business agreement, GH will be responsible for ▲ developing and operating a smart waste management platform ▲ providing information on discharged waste and verifying proper treatment ▲ collecting and recycling waste home appliances in the Hanam Gyosan District.


The Korea Environment Corporation will provide technical support for building the waste management platform, establish a system for collecting and recycling waste home appliances in relocation areas, and support policies and systems for proper waste treatment.


Kim Se-yong, President of GH, emphasized, "The innovative cooperation between GH and the Korea Environment Corporation will be an important opportunity to realize carbon neutrality and ESG management," adding, "We will strive to become a public institution leading eco-friendly carbon-neutral management."



Meanwhile, the signing ceremony was conducted in a paperless manner, including electronic agreements and electronic leaflets, in line with the purpose of carbon neutrality such as realizing zero waste.
