South Korea partially revises Act on Promotion of Saving and Recycling of Resources.
On December 11, 2023, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) in South Korea issued a pre-announcement regarding the partial amendment of the Enforcement Regulations of the Act on the Promotion of Saving and Recycling of Resources.
The main motivation for this revision is that paper cups have already been banned in certain establishments, including group catering centres and food service establishments (such as restaurants and coffee shops). To address the practical challenges faced by businesses, such as the need to hire personnel for cleaning multi-use cups and the installation of cleaning facilities, the regulations governing disposable paper cups will be appropriately improved.
As a result of these revisions, disposable paper cups have been removed from the existing regulations.
