The Gimje Resource Circulation Saerobomi Festival marks Resource Circulation Day, promotes proper waste sorting and highlights the importance of circulating resources. Its main purpose is to raise awareness of recycling and reusing everyday waste and share the necessity and value of resource circulation. 'Saerobomi' means viewing discarded rubbish as a new resource: recognizing waste as material that can be recycled and reused, and considering new uses for resources otherwise thrown away. Sharing this value and spreading proper sorting and recycling practices in daily life are central to the festival. The 4th festival focuses on resource circulation and environmental protection, addressing everyday issues such as sorting waste, recycling resources and reusing materials to explain why resource circulation matters and how to practise it. It communicates the basic concepts of seeing waste as a resource and using resources continuously. By encouraging efficient resource use, less waste and improved understanding of recycling, it aims to increase interest in environmental activities that can be practised daily. Ultimately, the festival seeks to spread a culture of retaining resources' value through reuse and recycling, rather than using them 1 time and discarding them.
