Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) has launched a Food Upcycling initiative in Gimcheon, collaborating with Gimcheon City, ChildFund Korea, Kakao, and Food Factory. The project focuses on repurposing surplus food into viable products, reducing landfill waste and supporting local welfare efforts.
Each partner contributes unique expertise: KEC offers logistical support, ChildFund Korea ensures social benefits, and Food Factory processes raw materials.
