Environmental center takes circular economy education on road

The Korea Environmental Education Center initiated an outreach program on August 25 to educate communities about circular economy principles and resource circulation. In collaboration with Novelis Korea, the program demonstrates the collection, processing, and recycling of commonly used materials, such as plastic, glass bottles, paper cartons, and aluminum cans. A key focus is the "Can-to-Can" aluminum recycling model, which utilizes a closed-loop system to transform used cans into new ones.

Through November, center instructors will conduct at least 30 on-site classes in public institutions, lifelong learning centers, and civic organizations across Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Incheon, and Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province. These sessions will elucidate the principles of circular economy and closed-loop recycling, encouraging participants to adopt resource-saving practices in their daily lives.
