Since Innisfree launched the “Empty Bottle Recycling Campaign” in 2003, it has used recycled plastic empty bottles to make cosmetic containers, interior decoration materials, and upcycled plastic products, and has carried out a number of other activities. Innisfree “Empty Bottle Space” was established in June 2017 in the store in Chaog-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, in order to highlight the importance of recycling.
In May 2021, with the concept of “Action to Protect the Earth”, the store was upgraded and transformed into a space for strengthening sustainable development experience projects. Consumers can see everything from recycling empty bottles to making tube containers with plastic crushed materials at a glance. Through the whole process of the press, understand how waste plastics can achieve a virtuous cycle through upcycling. In November last year, they also held an exhibition together with the designer “Kim Haneul” who made furniture from waste mask materials, conveying the message of realizing a virtuous circle of plastics.
