AmorePacific is attending this year’s Seoul Lantern Festival, held from Nov. 6-22, with its GREENCYCLE recycling campaign and an artwork display.

The company’s GREENCYCLE campaign is an environmentally friendly event that recycles and upcycles cosmetics containers. AmorePacific opened a GREENCYCLE art gallery earlier this year, displaying art pieces made from used containers.

AmorePacific will also display a lighted artwork at the Seoul Lantern Festival 2015, which includes an emblem commemorating the company’s 70th anniversary and a 3-meter-tall structure of a cushion compact partially created from recycled cosmetic containers.

There are also plans for a booth at the festival where participants can make flowerpots from empty containers and other various environmentally friendly programs.

More examples of the GREENCYCLE campaign can be found at AmorePacific’s social philanthropy website, makeupyourlife.amorepacific.com.

After the Seoul Lantern Festival, the artwork will be taken to N Seoul Tower, where it will be put on display for citizens and tourists until January.
