Campaigns

Love For Planet Campaign

By recycling the collected airtight containers, 'upcycling eco-bag' was introduced to practice continuous resource circulation. Terracycle and Lock&Lock also collected and recycled tumblers to produce Jeju Olle-gil benches.[1]

Terracycle and Lock&Lock collaborate together to bring plastic airtight containers that are left unattended or old in the house to the store, and they will be given a coupon to purchase certain products at a discount.[2]
