"I'll refuse garbage"... “Precycling” products are popular


Spreading Good Consumption for the Earth (Earth Earth)

In order to prevent environmental pollution, which is intensifying every year, there are a growing number of cases in which consumers practice their own ecology. The result of environmental pollution, from the four-year-long fine dust and the recent plastic issue, is that it has a direct impact on the lives and health of “I” and “my family” beyond harming aesthetics.


Recently, the concept of 'pre-cycling', which reduces waste before purchasing products beyond the concept of recycling, has been spreading, and eco-friendly products of various brands, ranging from food and beverage to fashion, have attracted consumers' attention. In particular, in the case of eco-friendly services provided by startup brands and small shops, the brand's unique personality and eco-friendly philosophy are synergistic, giving consumers a more special experience and gaining popularity.
