Frequently asked questions

What is HRM?

HRM is a B2B environmental and trading company that runs global recyclable commodity trading, the Cheongju MRF regional resource recovery hub and the ECOYA digital platforms. Since it was founded in 2016, it has extended its value chain from raw-material supply to finished-goods marketing and finance and payment support.

What commodities does HRM trade?

HRM trades recovered paper (OCC, DLK, SOP, etc.), recycled plastics (PET, HDPE, PP, etc.) and non-ferrous metals (aluminum UBC, 6063, ADC12, copper, brass, etc.) by grade, and handles quality control, export documentation, container shipping, logistics scheduling and claims in house.

What does Cheongju MRF do?

Cheongju MRF is a regional operations hub that collects and hauls waste from businesses, apartments and factories within about 100 km of Cheongju, then sorts, recovers and dispatches it. Services cover business waste, apartment waste, aluminum cans and UBC, and PET collection.

What is ECOYA?

ECOYA is a family of enterprise AI software products: SNAP (field photo evidence and automated reporting), ERP (AI trade document automation) and Intelligence (market risk signals), plus Earth, a consumer collection request app.

What problem does ECOYA SNAP solve?

ECOYA SNAP automatically turns photos, video, voice notes and OCR output from logistics and export sites into trade evidence, quality reports, customer reports and claim defense records.

How does HRM connect trading with AI operations?

Using ECOYA ERP, SNAP and Intelligence, HRM structures and automates the document, photo, quality, logistics and market data generated in field operations and trade, so recyclable commodity trading runs on data.

What role does HRM play in a trade?

Principal. HRM signs as the buyer or the seller and manages the whole trade: sourcing, quality verification, export documents, customs, logistics arrangement, claims handling and, where needed, finance and settlement terms. Where it helps a deal, HRM also works with brokers and agents. It is building a general trading house model that adds commodities and functions step by step.

What should I check when choosing an industrial waste processor in Korea?

Check three things: (1) the waste business permit, including licensed items and validity period; (2) whether handovers are recorded in Korea's Allbaro manifest system; and (3) how openly the processor discloses its process and facility. HRM Cheongju MRF holds a comprehensive recycling permit (No. 재활-126) and a collection and transport permit (No. 사배-220), and publishes both.

What is an MRF (Materials Recovery Facility)?

An MRF sorts, grades and bales collected waste and recyclables into raw materials for reuse. HRM Cheongju MRF raises sorting accuracy with in-house equipment such as optical sorters, putting the emphasis on recovery rather than disposal.

What kind of technology company is ECOYA?

ECOYA is an enterprise AI software company. SNAP uses OCR and AI to turn field photos and video into formal evidence. ERP extracts and cross-checks trade documents with AI, and people confirm the result. Intelligence translates market signals into trade risk signals.
