Discarded picture books, worn crayons, and fabric scraps will undergo a transformation at Seoul's upcoming upcycling festival. The Earth Regeneration Project, organized by Seoul Water Recycling Facilities Corp., will take place from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday at the outdoor plaza of the Seoul Water Recycling Experience Center. This event coincides with Resource Circulation Day, a legal observance aimed at promoting environmental protection and recycling.
Alongside the exhibition "Water That Goes Around," which showcases the journey of water, the festival seeks to extend that concept beyond water. Visitors can create environmentally friendly bookmarks from recycled paper, decorate pouches with discarded banners, and craft items using sea glass collected as marine waste.
