The Seoul city government announced on the 12th that it will recycle all 7.3 tons of waste banners collected after the 21st presidential election.
From May 12 to June 8, the Seoul city government collected all waste banners generated in the city during the election period and sent them to the Jungnang Water Recycling Center in the Seongdong district.
Of the 7.3 tons of waste banners collected this time, 2.7 tons will be recycled as "non-woven fabric raw material." The remaining 4.6 tons is expected to be recycled by each district.
The Seoul city government plans to continue collecting waste banners that are generated in large quantities during election seasons and recycle them at the Jungnang Water Recycling Center.
Kwon Min, head of the Climate and Environment Headquarters of the Seoul city government, said, "We will continue to discover areas of waste resources that can be recycled in daily life to create a sustainable resource circulation model."
