AROOTECO, the Beginning of Circularity for the Future of the Earth
Born to contribute to the global environmental crisis
through a circular recycling business for the future of the Earth,
leveraging the infrastructure of the Daesan Petrochemical Complex
that marks the beginning of the West Coast era,
with the natural treasure of Hwanggeumsan as its backdrop.
Countless plastics
discarded every day
flow into the ocean, threatening marine life, get buried in the soil, taking hundreds of years to decompose, and when incinerated, become a source of air pollution.
Plastic is causing many problems for our planet.
Of the 353 million tons of plastic produced worldwide,
only
is recycled.
In Korea as well, the reality is that only 16.4% of the 10 million tons is actually recycled.
AROOTECO was
founded to change this reality.
At the Seosan Resource Circulation Plant,
equipped with the world’s top-tier automated systems,
we breathe new life into discarded plastics.
Going beyond mere waste disposal,
we engage in an innovative process that transforms waste
into valuable resources, responding to the demands of
our time such as carbon neutrality and RE100,
and taking small steps toward a better future for the Earth.
AROOTECO dreams of a clean planet to pass on to
future generations. Developing eco-friendly energy
sources to replace fossil fuels and increasing
the recycling rate of synthetic waste plastics to reduce
environmental pollution—
this is why we light up our factory every morning.
We will strive to discover value in what has been discarded,
continue the cycle of circulation,
and work toward the sustainable coexistence of the Earth and humanity.
