Paldal-gu Recycles Disused Banners

Paldal-gu in Suwon held a two-day event from the 4th, organized by the Women's Association, as part of low-carbon green living initiatives. The event involved creating shopping bags and leaf collection sacks from approximately 350 disused banners and illegal banners that mar the urban landscape.

In Hwaseo 1-dong, approximately ten Women's Association members gathered and produced shopping bags and sacks from collected disused banners using sewing machines.

The recycled shopping bags are to be distributed to citizens, while the sacks are planned to be used for street leaf cleanup this fall.

Yoon Geon-mo, head of Paldal-gu Office, encouraged the Women's Association members, stating, "The green shopping bag project will reduce costs incurred in disposing of disused banners and will contribute to green growth through resource recycling."
