In the panel discussion of this session, CEO Na shared the company’s Green Business practices including its key strategy “3R” (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), which was designed to establish a plastic waste circulation system, and put forward solutions to global plastic wastes and measures toward an eco-friendly plastic ecosystem.

CEO Na said, “SK Global Chemical’s objective is to re-circulate plastic wastes, which will lead to an eco-friendly plastic ecosystem. With a focus on developing core technologies, the company is strongly pushing ahead with Green Business. In addition, the company will do its part for the establishment of an eco-friendly plastic ecosystem by making 100% of its future plastic products directly and indirectly recyclable.”

He explained, “As a means to boost plastic recycling, SK Global Chemical is considering commercializing its pyrolysis liquefaction technology, where plastic bottle and vinyl wastes are decomposed with heat into a petrochemical raw material (fuel oil) through strategic partnership with global pyrolysis businesses.”

The Summit served as a global acceleration event to pursue climate action and sustainable development. This year, P4G Seoul Summit focused on the theme “Inclusive Green Recovery Towards Carbon Neutrality.” It included a series of leaders’ sessions, breakout sessions, and thematic sessions targeting 5 main sectors: Water, Energy, Food and Agriculture, Cities, and Circular Economy.
