HYOSUNG TNC

Plastic waste poses a threat not only to terrestrial ecosystems but also to marine ecosystems today. Hyosung Group and its affiliates are working toward achieving zero-waste by establishing a circular economy that recycles plastic waste discarded on land and at sea.

This is another axis of Hyosung's circular economy, which goes beyond recycling discarded plastics. It adds a new functions and values to plastics, extending their lifecycle to meet the industrial demand in various fields. By adding new functionalities, it revitalizes the plastic's lifecycle, not limiting it to conventional recycling.

All Hyosung affiliates minimize carbon emissions generated during production processes and minimize carbon emissions throughout their business activities. Ultimately, they adopt a common technological agenda aimed at achieving net-zero carbon emissions.

If the world were to run out of energy sources for economic activities, civilization as we know it would cease to exist. Therefore, Hyosung is striving to build a value chain encompassing materials, components, operation technologies, and distribution systems to promote the commercialization and efficiency improvement of hydrogen and renewable energy, instead of fossil fuels.

With the philosophy that the resources we use should not be wasted, all Hyosung affiliates strive to minimize energy and resource consumption at every link in the production and operation process. Underpinned by the philosophy of minimizing harm to the Earth's ecosystem, Hyosung aims to implement and practice this philosophy throughout its business operations.
