Circular Economy Webinar Series Session 16

The amount of plastic waste in South Korea has been increasing rapidly during the coronavirus pandemic, and the problem is becoming serious. To solve this problem, it is important for civil society to properly separate and collect used disposable waste and turn it into resources, and to use reusable cups and containers instead of disposables. However, it is difficult to spread participation because it is emphasized as a sense of duty or entitlement.
