Discarded picture books, worn crayons and fabric remnants will undergo a transformation at Seoul's upcycling festival this weekend. Seoul Water Recycling Facilities Corp. announced the Earth Regeneration Project, scheduled from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday at the Seoul Water Recycling Experience Center's outdoor plaza. The event aligns with Resource Circulation Day, a legal holiday designed to highlight environmental conservation and recycling's significance.
