Korea East-West Power Co., Ltd. Dangjin Power Headquarters has been continuously carrying out various resource circulation social contribution activities in collaboration with the local community, receiving a great response.

Dangjin Power Headquarters and Dangjin Senior Club announced on the 9th that they had delivered 1,260 rolls of recycled toilet paper to vulnerable groups in the region.

The donated toilet paper was produced by recycling 120 kg of milk cartons collected and donated by Dangjin Power Headquarters employees, as well as paper cartons gathered from local senior cafes, at the 'Senior Resource Circulation Workshop.'

The Senior Resource Circulation Workshop, established with support funds from Dangjin Power Headquarters, is a place where an average of 20 seniors per month can wash, dry, and package milk cartons. This initiative effectively creates jobs for the elderly, practices resource circulation, and supports vulnerable groups all at once.

Plastic bottle caps, which have a low recycling rate, have also been transformed into valuable resources.

Last year, Dangjin Power Headquarters donated 16 boxes of bottle caps collected by employees to the 'Upcycling Research Institute,' which was jointly established by Korea East-West Power Co., Ltd., Ulsan City, and the Senior Human Resources Development Institute. The collected bottle caps are used to make recycled flowerpots and upcycled goods.

In addition, Dangjin Power Headquarters collected over 800 reusable ice packs, which are often carelessly discarded, and delivered them to merchants in traditional markets to help ease the economic burden on small business owners during the summer.

Kim Hunhee, Head of Dangjin Power Headquarters, said, "The small actions of our employees over the past year have made a positive contribution to the local community and environment," and added, "This year as well, we will actively carry out sustainable social contribution activities based on resource circulation and carbon neutrality."
