The media are giving wide publicity to recycling.

People's committees in Pyongyang City, all provinces, cities and counties have mapped out recycling projects. They also pay attention to environmental protection in recycling. This accelerates regional economic development.

A furniture manufacturers' cooperative in Yonthan County of North Hwanghae Province makes plywood by recycling sawdust and wood pieces.

Its workers also operate a boiler by recycling waste materials.

A paper factory in Hyangsan County of North Phyongan Province also benefits from recycling. An essential plastic goods factory in the county makes a variety of plastic goods by recycling waste materials.

A public campaign for collecting materials lying idle is also brisk.

Citizens in Chongnam-dong of Sunam District in Chongjin City of North Hamgyong Province and Rangnang District of Pyongyang City collected a large amount of materials lying idle such as wastepaper and scrap glass, and sent them to factories and enterprises.

Those benefiting from recycling are on the increase.
