[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon announced on the 30th that it has been installing and operating transparent PET bottle unmanned collection kiosks since October to efficiently collect transparent PET bottles and increase recycling rates.
A total of 20 transparent PET bottle unmanned collection kiosks have been installed, with 5 units each in Jangan, Paldal, Gwonseon, and Yeongtong districts. The kiosks were installed in locations with good public accessibility, including outdoor spaces near the Suwon City Hall Annex, some resource distribution centers (Seryoo 2-dong, Maetan 4-dong), and resource circulation stations.
Only transparent PET bottles such as bottled water can be inserted into the unmanned collection kiosks. A maximum of 100 units can be deposited per person per day. Users can access the service after authentication using their mobile phone number.
For each transparent PET bottle deposited, 10 points are accumulated (1 point equals 1 won). When the total reaches 2,000 points or more, users can receive cash compensation at a rate of 1 won per point.
A city official stated, "The transparent PET bottle unmanned collection kiosk project is the beginning of a resource circulation innovation with citizen participation," and added, "We will expand the project so that Suwon can establish itself as a leading institution practicing resource circulation and carbon neutrality."
