Lotte Mart's Eco-Friendly Initiative... 1 Day 1 Green Container Campaign

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] Lotte Mart announced on the 10th that it will implement the 'Lotte Mart 1 Day 1 Green Container Campaign' targeting 28 stores in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Songpa and Seocho branches. It will be expanded to all stores by the end of the year.

This campaign is the first step to promote the use of reusable containers in large supermarkets. It is linked with the side dish sections Michan and Jipbap Yechan in Lotte Mart, offering an additional 20% more side dishes when customers bring their own side dish containers.

The campaign will be operated continuously throughout the year, and to commemorate the launch, an event will be held where customers who purchase side dishes worth 20,000 won or more at the designated sections will receive side dish containers on a first-come, first-served basis.

Similar to how coffee shops encourage the use of tumblers instead of disposable cups, Lotte Mart explained that this campaign will serve as an opportunity to spread the use of reusable containers within the mart.

Meanwhile, through the 'Resource Circulation Project,' Lotte Mart has announced plans to reduce vinyl and plastic usage by 50% and food waste in stores by 30% by 2025. It is also leading efforts to build eco-friendly green stores by expanding renewable energy and electric vehicle charging stations.
