This competition aimed to raise awareness of environmental issues by promoting the 3R concept of waste?Recycling, Reuse, and Reduce?to protect the environment, conserve resources, and reduce waste. It is an autonomous educational activity program where participating students plan and execute projects themselves to creatively approach environmental problems easily.

The Grand Prize was awarded to the Green Fact team from the Department of Chemical Engineering (Shin Young-jun, Kim Ryun-gyeom, Lee Seok-jin, Yoon Joon-seo, Yoo Myung-han; work titled Journey Toward Society). They created a video promoting the advantages of using tumblers, which are gradually disappearing, to reduce disposable products and spread this message to those around them. They also pledged to continue encouraging tumbler use in their daily lives to reduce disposable products even after the competition.

We will continue to actively support students to realize their diverse ideas and share them with each other to foster healthy competition.”
