Cheonil Energy announced on the 27th that it signed a business agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Government on the 26th to establish the "2026 Seoul International Garden Expo Corporate Administrative Garden." The Seoul International Garden Expo is a Seoul City event that began in 2015 to create high-quality gardens in parks and green spaces and promote garden culture.
Cheonil Energy also created a corporate administrative garden at the 2025 Seoul International Garden Expo held at Boramae Park. Designed under the name of its subsidiary, Jiguhada, the garden, upcycled from discarded everyday resources like coffee grounds, plastic, and waste materials, garnered positive public response with its eco-friendly sculptures.
At the 2026 Expo, Cheonil Energy will showcase its capabilities in waste recycling and utilizing unused biomass (batteries, scrap wood, etc.) at Seoul Forest. Building on its experience in collaborating with public institutions and landscaping companies to recycle unused waste materials like waste wood and synthetic resin, the company will implement a process of "discarded things reuniting with nature" within the garden. The garden will remain after the Expo, providing residents with a place to relax and a symbolic space where they can experience the value of resource recycling in their daily lives.
Cheonil Energy has signed free waste disposal agreements with approximately 50 local governments and their affiliated organizations nationwide. It is also expanding its ESG collaborations with companies, most recently signing a coffee grounds recycling agreement with Naver. Furthermore, the company is expanding its business to unused waste such as batteries, lumber, and landscaping byproducts, and is strengthening its resource circulation infrastructure by building biomass processing facilities in the Hwaseong and Gunsan regions.
Park Sang-won, CEO of Cheonil Energy, said, “Through our participation in the Seoul International Garden Expo, we hope to convey to citizens the value of recycling, which gives new life to discarded resources,” and added, “We will continue to contribute to the creation of a sustainable urban ecosystem together with the public and private sectors.”
Lee Su-yeon, Director of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Garden City Bureau, said, “Following Boramae Park, we anticipate that a variety of gardens that reflect the unique characteristics of businesses will be created in Seoul Forest, and we will continue to pursue public-private cooperation to ensure the successful hosting of the expo.”
