IGEE at Yonsei University

Yonsei University is committed to enhancing its sustainability efforts by implementing supply chain policies that align with disposable item regulations and work to minimize single-use plastic waste. As part of this initiative, we encourage our outsourcing partners to adopt eco-friendly and recyclable materials in their operations. By promoting environmentally responsible practices across our supply chain, we aim to reduce the use of disposable items and plastic waste, contributing to a more sustainable environment.

At the Co-op Goods stores on campus, one of our partners, they actively promote the use of multi-use containers, encouraging customers to avoid disposable plastic containers. By offering discounts for reusable containers, they aim to significantly reduce single-use plastic waste and inspire sustainable habits among our students, faculty, and staff.

The photos below from the Co-op Goods stores illustrate our advocacy for multi-use containers, highlighting our commitment to minimizing disposable items and fostering a more sustainable lifestyle. Through these collective efforts and collaborations, we aim to cultivate a culture that values and supports eco-friendly practices, leading to a greener and more sustainable campus and community.
