The Gunpo Cultural Foundation is collaborating with the upcycling company Flalab to promote resource recycling culture in the region.
According to the foundation on November 9, Hanbeondeo Production Studio and Flalab signed a memorandum of understanding to enhance resource recycling education and upcycling initiatives.
This agreement aims to combine technology and educational experiences that transform discarded plastics into new products, thereby expanding opportunities for citizens to engage in resource recycling.
Hanbeondeo Production Studio conducts activities where citizens crush and inject plastic bottle caps to create new products.
It also operates experiential education programs that link lifelong learning with cultural arts, raising awareness about the importance of resource recycling.
Flalab, the partner organization, is an upcycling company that researches the recyclability of waste plastics and commercializes products. It promotes resource recycling initiatives based on its expertise in mold design and injection technology.
The two organizations plan to collaborate on recycling plastic bottle caps, donating and sharing products, jointly organizing resource recycling events, designing and producing molds for citizen rewards, and providing training and field trips to empower citizen activists.
Notably, the initiative aims not only to recycle waste plastics but also to connect the production process with citizen education and experiential activities.
The goal is to enable citizens to experience the resource recycling process directly, fostering environmental protection as a daily practice.
Meanwhile, Jeon Hyung-joo, the foundation's CEO, stated, "Through this agreement, we will share the expertise and experience of both organizations and expand opportunities for citizens to experience upcycling directly. We will work together to create a healthy environment and culture."
