Can a foreigner or a foreign company also be in the environment sector pursuant to the environment-related acts such as the waste processing business?

The permissions and approvals needed for environment business do not make a distinction between foreigners and Korean nationals. Therefore, it is possible for a foreign national or foreign company to be involved in an environment-related business.
In order to conduct a business in the environment sector such as environmental pollution prevention facilities, relevant approvals and permissions need to be obtained from the local environment management agency in line with the conditions as stipulated in the environment-related acts.
It is possible to supply material for and design of prevention facilities business to prevention facilities businesses even if not being registered as an environmental pollution prevention facilities business, if public institutions and agencies as well as registered prevention facilities businesses make such an order.
