Korea Paper Launches Eco-Friendly Coated Packaging Material 'Green Shield'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] Hankuk Paper announced on the 18th that it has launched 'Green Shield,' a packaging material applying an eco-friendly coating agent.

The newly introduced product is an eco-friendly packaging material that naturally decomposes underground, minimizing its impact on the soil. According to the company, it is the first domestic paper manufacturer to apply an eco-friendly coating to base paper, which, unlike typical polyethylene-coated products, decomposes 100% naturally underground and is 100% recyclable.

Green Shield possesses not only water resistance that blocks moisture but also oil resistance that blocks oil components, making it suitable for various food packaging materials, including paper cups. It is an eco-friendly product that can be reused as paper raw material when classified as paper during recycling.

A Hankuk Paper official stated, "Green Shield is the only product manufactured entirely with biodegradable coating liquid blended and produced using purely domestic technology as food container base paper," adding, "We will continue to research and invest in eco-friendly packaging materials to become a leader in eco-friendly paper companies."
