Hansol HomeDeco, a company specializing in interior construction materials, said on the 15th that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Studio Dragon for "recycling waste wood from drama sets and establishing an eco-friendly circular system."
Under the MOU, waste wood generated on drama production sites by Studio Dragon will be recycled into raw material for MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) interior boards through Hansol HomeDeco's recycling technology.
According to Studio Dragon, waste wood discharged per drama from production sites is about 100 tons and was mostly discarded after filming ended. Through this agreement, more than 2,000 tons of waste wood per year are expected to be recycled, and waste wood disposal expenses are expected to be reduced by more than 50% compared with before.
Hansol HomeDeco has introduced facilities to sort recycled raw materials and continued research on waste wood recycling technology to build a resource circulation system. Based on this, it released MDF made with 100% recycled raw materials and obtained the GR (Good Recycled) mark from the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards.
A Studio Dragon official said, "This agreement is the industry's first attempt to efficiently handle waste wood generated during drama production and a meaningful step to reuse waste wood as a resource," adding, "We will strengthen ESG cooperation with various industries to create a sustainable content production environment."
A Hansol HomeDeco official said, "This agreement is a practice case of ESG management that simultaneously enhances environmental value and industrial efficiency through resource circulation," adding, "We find it meaningful to build a practical resource circulation model with a leading company in the content industry."
