SAMCHEOK, July 30 (Korea Bizwire) — The city of Samcheok in Gangwon Province has stepped out to make Samcheok Beach free of disposable products in order to resolve the issue of a surge in garbage every vacation season.
As such, promotion booths will be set up around the beach between July 31 and Aug. 4, where various activities such as the operation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based robots that collect cans and plastic bottles, lectures on resource circulation, sale of eco-friendly products that can replace disposable ones, and operating photo zones will take place.
A promotion team exclusively in charge of the initiative, campaigns calling on the use of non-disposable products, and cooperation with the local business community to refrain from using disposable products will take place to reduce the amount of disposable products used at the beach.
