Gimhae City Provides Subsidies for Installing Food Waste Reduction Devices

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, will begin accepting applications for the ‘2021 Food Waste Reducer Installation Subsidy Support Project’ starting January 1 next year.

This project, which has been in effect since March this year, supports residents who install food waste reducers by covering 60% of the purchase cost, encouraging waste producers to reduce and dispose of waste on their own.

So far, 101 units have been distributed, and next year, with a budget of 50 million KRW, about 125 units of reducers will be supported for installation, with only one unit supported per person.

Applications are open to any small-scale businesses or general households within the jurisdiction, and applicants can freely choose the product they wish to receive support for from the market.

However, if the product discharges byproducts into the sewage pipe or does not meet the standards of related laws and regulations, it will not be eligible for support.

For more details on application methods and other information, you can check the Gimhae City website’s public notice by searching for the 2021 Food Waste Reducer Installation Subsidy Support Project announcement.
