The Korea Environmental Education Center unveiled an outreach program on August 25 to educate communities about the circular economy and resource circulation. This joint initiative with Novelis Korea explains the collection, processing, and recycling of everyday materials such as plastic, glass bottles, paper cartons, and aluminum cans.
The program highlights the "Can-to-Can" aluminum recycling model, which transforms used cans into new ones through a closed-loop system. By teaching these methods, the center aims to help participants understand how resources can continuously circulate rather than being discarded after one use. Through November, instructors will conduct at least 30 on-site classes at various public institutions, lifelong learning centers, and civic organizations across Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Incheon, and Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.
These sessions will cover the principles of the circular economy and closed-loop recycling, encouraging participants to incorporate resource-saving practices into their daily lives.
