KEPCO Nuclear Fuel and On-Site Partners Advance Full-Cycle Resource Recycling

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On September 9, 2026, KEPCO Nuclear Fuel (KNF) announced that it has signed a "Business Agreement on Resource Recycling Practices Across All Areas" with its on-site partner companies, committing to jointly promote waste reduction efforts and foster a culture of resource recycling across relevant business operations.

The agreement aims to support the Korean government's "Plan to Promote the Transition to a Plastic-Free Circular Economy," strengthening the management of waste throughout its entire lifecycle—from generation and sorting to recycling—and establishing a resource recycling system that covers both employees and on-site partner companies.

Under the agreement, the parties will focus on three key areas: source reduction, recycling, and the conversion to reusable products. Specific efforts include reducing the use of packaging materials and single-use items, expanding the scope of separate collection and recycling, promoting reusable goods, and implementing practical measures such as proper waste sorting and waste reduction across all business departments.

KNF President Jeong Chang-jin stated that resource recycling can only be truly achieved through full collaboration across the entire company at every stage of the process. He noted that the company will use this agreement as an opportunity to accelerate the establishment of a culture of efficient resource use internally, and plans to gradually extend these practices to external supply chain partners in the future.
