- As a company that has shared its half-century history with forests, Dongwha Enterprise has pursued eco-friendly growth by protecting forests and producing particle boards from recycled wood since the 1970s.

- The domestic particle board industry saves forests by recycling wood to be used in the manufacturing of 700,000 tons of particle boards annually. It also reduces carbon dioxide emissions by recycling waste wood instead of incinerating it. Apart from saving forests, Dongwha’s recycling efforts also help replace wood imports (11.6 billion won a year), save waste wood incineration costs (7.5 billion won a year), prevent environmental damage caused by burying waste wood, and minimize carbon dioxide emitted by burning wood. The total amount of costs saved annually exceeds 200 billion won.
- Based in Gajwa-dong, Incheon, Dongwha’s Green Factory is the largest wood recycling site in Korea. Woodchips produced here are used as raw material at three Dongwha Enterprise factories, also located in Incheon. The particle board factories manufacture wood boards using woodchips.
- Waste wood, palettes, packaging boxes and waste furniture collected in the Seoul metropolitan area are transported to the Green Factory where they are smashed. All foreign substances are sorted out using a state-of-the-art facility that is the largest in the nation. Then, pure wood is produced into woodchips, which serve as raw material for particle boards.
