Resource Circulation Economy

By reducing waste generation and water consumption, increasing recycling rates, and enhancing product durability, the Company strives to minimize waste and contribute to the transition to a circular economy.

Closed-loop Recycling 프로세스

  • Waste Management

    Hyosung Heavy Industries provides regular waste separation and collection training for systematic waste management. Departments that generate the most waste classify and discharge waste according to its nature, such as combustible, waste paper, and non-combustible, and reclassify waste at waste storage units. In the process of reclassifying waste, paint thinner cans, coating cans, and miscellaneous iron are separated and recycled, and we reduce the amount of waste oil and waste paint generated by implementing a real-name discharge system to tally and manage waste by department. All wastes transported to waste storage units are categorized and stored by type, and waste management takes places considering the storage limit and duration. After the wastes are delivered to a contracted processing company, information such as the amount of waste treated and the processing company is entered into the legal waste disposal system (Allbaro). We continue to discover new companies to enhance the efficacy and efficiency of waste treatment.

  • Water Resource Management

    Hyosung Heavy Industries monitors and manages water consumption by source, including municipal water, groundwater, and industrial water. At the Changwon Plant, we periodically replace outdated water pipes and minimize the amount of unnecessary water consumption through self-inspection of leaks.

  • Donation To The First Hyosung Goodwill Store

    Goodwill Store is a social enterprise that takes into account "people, businesses, and the environment." It operates approximately 2,800 stores in 15 countries, including the US and Canada, and provides over 200,000 jobs for persons with disabilities and vulnerable groups. Goodwill Store is a social enterprise that promotes a virtuous cycle of resources by employing the disadvantaged, contributing to economic independence, and using the proceeds from the sale of donated items to create jobs for persons with disabilities and provide vocational training and education.
    In October 2013, Hyosung opened the first Hyosung Goodwill Store in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, a first for a Korean company, and Goodwill Store donation boxes are installed at the Hyosung headquarters and each business site to forward employee donations to the Hyosung Goodwill Store.
