Gradual Expansion to Directly Operated and Tenant Stores

Previously, in March, Everland signed a voluntary agreement with Yongin City and the Ministry of Environment to reduce the use of single-use cups by promoting the use of reusable cups. This agreement marked the first time both private and public sectors have collaborated to encourage the use of reusable cups through a customized initiative at Everland.

As a result, starting from the 25th, Everland will provide beverages sold for takeout in reusable cups. This initiative will be gradually expanded not only to directly operated stores but also to tenant stores. Caribbean Bay will implement the same policy beginning July 1.

To promote the use of reusable cups, the collection of used cups is essential. To facilitate this, Everland plans to install return bins at around 60 key locations, including food and beverage outlets, near attractions, and at entrances and exits, so that visitors can easily return their used cups.

Everland decided to actively introduce reusable cups to encourage customers to participate in efforts to minimize waste through resource circulation and to raise awareness about environmental issues.

Meanwhile, Everland will continue to promote the introduction of reusable cups to customers through its website and social networking services (SNS). The park will also provide ongoing guidance to visitors using large screens installed at Four Seasons Garden and POP displays placed in stores.
