About

The Gimje Resource Circulation Saerobormi Festival is held to commemorate Resource Circulation Day and to spread a culture of proper waste separation and raise awareness of the importance of resource circulation. Its main purpose is to heighten awareness of recycling and reuse of waste generated in daily life, and to share the necessity and value of resource circulation. 'Saerobormi' is a name meaning 'looking at discarded waste as a new resource.' It reflects the idea of perceiving waste not simply as something thrown away, but as a resource that can be recycled and reused, drawing attention to new possibilities for utilizing discarded materials. The core intent of the festival is to share the value of resource circulation and spread a culture of practicing proper waste separation and recycling in everyday life. The 4th Gimje Resource Circulation Saerobormi Festival is an event held on the themes of resource circulation and environmental protection. It addresses environmental issues closely related to daily life—such as proper waste separation, resource recycling, and reuse—and aims to communicate the necessity of resource circulation and concrete ways to practice it. In particular, the festival conveys its meaning through the core concepts of resource circulation: a shift in perception toward viewing waste as a resource, and the sustained utilization of resources. Through raising awareness about efficient use of resources, reduction of waste generation, and improvement in recycling practices, the festival aims to communicate the importance of resource circulation and increase interest in environmental protection activities that can be practiced in daily life. Furthermore, it seeks to spread a resource circulation culture that moves away from single-use disposal and instead sustains the value of resources through reuse and recycling.
