When YGPA collects and supplies aluminum from Yeosu and Gwangyang ports, POSCO M-TECH utilizes it as a raw material for steel production to manufacture products.
Additionally, the fund created from the aluminum provided by YGPA will be used to support vulnerable groups in the local community at the end of the year, aiming to become a model case of ESG management cooperation.
YGPA Executive Vice President of Management Hwang Hak-beom said, “It is very meaningful to sign the waste aluminum resource circulation business agreement on Resource Circulation Day (September 6 every year).” He added, “We will continue to create a sustainable resource circulation model.”
