Prepare for a better 100 years / Now Green Action!

These are the materials collected from Seoul resource recovery faculty on the 20th of January. Picking something that should not be put in a bin bag quickly piled up. A Seoul city official said, "If you filter out food waste and recycled goods that need to be discharged separately, garbage in the pay-as-you-go bag will be reduced by 20-30%."
Starting this year, the Seoul Metropolitan Incheon initiated the 'Capital Reclaimed Landfill System.' Garbage-filling space in the metropolitan landfills is shrinking faster than expected. As a result, domestic waste discharged in bin bags should be reduced by 10% (about 70,000 tons) compared to 2018.
