Environment and Self-Reliance Connected

Suwon Metropolitan City and the Gyeonggi Suwon Community Work Center held an opening ceremony for the 'LaLa Wash Suwon Branch' on the 11th.

LaLa Wash is an eco-friendly self-reliance project that collects reusable containers used at funeral halls and cafes, then cleans, disinfects, and dries them before redistributing them. It provides employment opportunities and professional cleaning experience to self-reliance work program participants, while reducing single-use item consumption to promote resource circulation.

The LaLa Wash Suwon Branch, which opened in Dangsoo-dong, Gwonseon-gu, is the 21st location in Gyeonggi Province, with 18 self-reliance workers currently employed. The company aims to expand operations and create 40 jobs in the long term.

Yoon Young-sook, director of Suwon Metropolitan City's Citizen Welfare Bureau, said, "We hope the LaLa Wash Suwon Branch will increase the use of reusable containers and help self-reliance work program participants achieve self-sufficiency" and added, "We will support the stable establishment of projects linking environment and self-reliance."
