Hyundai Department Store, Transparent Waste PET Bottle Upcycling Campaign

Hyundai Department Store will hold the plastic upcycle campaign "Green Happiness with the Otter" at 16 stores nationwide from the 3rd to the 5th of next month.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Hyundai Department Store announced on the 28th that it will hold a plastic upcycle campaign, "Green Happiness with Sudal," at 16 stores nationwide from the 3rd to the 5th of next month.

This campaign is a program that collects transparent waste PET bottles (7 or more) from customers at each store's customer service desk. The first 300 to 500 customers per store to participate will receive a Hyundai Department Store gift certificate worth 5,000 won. The collected transparent waste PET bottles will be washed and sorted, and upcycled goods are planned to be launched next year.

Additionally, 2,000 won will be accumulated per participating customer to create a donation fund, which will support habitat conservation activities for Sudal, a natural monument No. 330 and a first-class endangered species, through the social enterprise "Touch for Good."

A Hyundai Department Store official said, "After hearing the news that plastics were detected in the excrement of Sudal, which has returned to the Han River, we prepared this campaign to raise awareness of proper waste separation." He added, "We hope this campaign will help create an environment where Sudal can live more safely."
