The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy held a meeting on November 16 at the Seongil Hi-Tech Gunsan Plant for companies participating in the pilot project for the recycled material certification system.
EU and other advanced nations are promoting mandatory regulations on the use of recycled materials, particularly for batteries and plastic products. This is expected to significantly increase the demand for certification of recycled material usage among South Korean export companies. However, the absence of a domestic certification system has led businesses to rely on foreign certifications.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy is developing a certification system to trace the use of recycled materials from raw materials to final products. The pilot project, initiated this year, involves five products, including battery materials and home appliances like refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, and soundbars.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy aims to align the recycled material certification system with international standards, utilizing domestic IT capabilities for increased convenience and reliability.
