LOTTE Chemical Basic Chemicals President Hwang Jin-koo Participates in ‘Go Go Challenge’

LOTTE Chemical Basic Chemicals President Hwang Jin-koo joined the ‘Go Go Challenge.’

Go Go Challenge is a challenge that began as a campaign to reduce the use of plastic in everyday life, where a person pledges one thing to do and one not to do in everyday life, and then designates the next challenger in relay format. Hwang Jin-koo participated in this challenge after being recommended by SK Gas CEO Yoon Byung Suk.

Hwang pledged to continue to take the initiative for protecting the environment with the slogan, ‘Go reduce greenhouse gas emissions! Go use eco-friendly products!’ LOTTE Chemical became the first Korean chemical company to complete testing of CCU (carbon capture and utilization) facilities applying membrane gas and began designs for its commercialization to pursue climate change response and carbon-neutral growth. In addition, it is also focusing its capacities for producing and developing eco-friendly products such as being the only company in Korea to manufacture Bio-PET.

Hwang stated, “LOTTE Chemical is striving to improve awareness on resource circulation and construct a plastic circulating economic system by pursuing ‘Project LOOP,’ developing PCR materials, and converting the entire PET to C-rPET at the Ulsan Plant.”

Meanwhile, President Hwang Jin-goo designated Hyundai Oil Bank CEO Joo Young-min as the next person to join the challenge.
