Plogging Campaign Held at Anyangcheon

Uishikju Company, which operates the non-face-to-face mobile laundry service 'Laundrygo', announced on March 23 that it conducted a plogging campaign to collect litter around Anyangcheon near the Gunpo Smart Factory.


This campaign was organized to commemorate World Water Day on March 22 and to raise awareness about the importance of river water quality protection and environmental conservation. Laundrygo plans to use this activity as an opportunity to officially join the Gunpo Volunteer Center and to continuously expand environmental cleanup efforts in cooperation with local governments.

Laundrygo has also significantly strengthened its management of water pollutant emissions by newly installing a wastewater treatment facility within the Gunpo Smart Factory. This wastewater treatment facility is operated at a level more than 80% stricter than the legal discharge standards.


Laundrygo continues its eco-friendly management practices across its service operations. In 2024, the company launched an eco-friendly dress shirt, reducing the use of unnecessary packaging materials such as boxes and plastic by analyzing customer-preferred brands and designs based on data from approximately 4 million laundered dress shirts. The company also continues to implement various resource-saving initiatives, including the introduction of 'Go Green Vinyl' eco-certification, reusable hangers, and the adoption of electronic tags (RFID) instead of paper barcodes.


In addition, Laundrygo operates a used clothing collection service. When customers request laundry pickup through the Laundrygo app, they can select the 'Send Used Clothes' option and conveniently dispose of used clothes together with their laundry, without having to find a separate collection box. The collected used clothes undergo a specialized laundry process and are then utilized in textile resource recycling.



Kyun Seonsu, EHS Team Leader at Uishikju Company, stated, "This Anyangcheon plogging campaign reflects Laundrygo's commitment not only to thorough environmental management within the factory—such as recent large-scale investments in wastewater treatment facilities at the Gunpo Smart Factory—but also to taking responsibility for protecting water quality in the local community. Going forward, we will actively cooperate with local government's environmental conservation policies and build an eco-friendly laundry infrastructure that coexists with the local community."
