Suwon to Provide Incentives for Residential Complexes Excellent in Food Waste Reduction

Suwon announced on the 27th that it will operate an 'Incentive Program for Excellent Multi-family Housing Complexes in Food Waste Reduction' to minimize food waste.

The city plans to select 12 outstanding complexes based on evaluation indicators such as food waste reduction rate among 388 multi-family housing complexes equipped with 'RFID devices,' which are devices that store information and transmit data wirelessly.

The main evaluation items include average food waste generation per household, food waste reduction rate compared to the previous month, RFID device management status, and resident awareness campaigns and educational performance conducted by the complexes themselves.

The city will divide the evaluation target complexes into those with 500 or more households and those with fewer than 500 households, and will provide compensation of 1.5 million won for 1 top-performing complex, 1 million won for 2 excellent complexes, and 500,000 won for 3 recommended complexes in each category. Awards will be presented in December.
