The Ministry of Environment in South Korea has launched a plan to revitalize the recognition of rice husks and rice bran as recyclable resources, which were previously managed as waste. This move is expected to simplify the recycling process and expand the usage of these agricultural by-products. Each year, South Korea generates around 800,000 tons of rice husk and 400,000 tons of rice bran.
