ASEC 2010 Korea
This year, Korea joined in the ASEC with over 300 students participating. Team Grandizer emerged as the champion! (Link) Our business has mainly two objectives: creating profit and protecting the environment through recycling paper in a more effective and efficient way. Our Inside Business is collecting used paper from corporations and households and then selling the gathered paper to existing recycling enterprises, demonstrating firsthand the preservation of the environment and CSR. The Outside Business is the advertisement for partner corporations. We will establish contracts with corporations that participate in our business to advertise the corporations, simultaneously establish contracts with individuals/households to distribute “Green Cards” in return for used paper. “Green Card” is to accumulate mileage for the amount of used paper the households give to us and to give benefits from the partner corporations’ service and products. Through this, corporations gain a lot more targeted consumers.
