[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] CJ Logistics is embarking on the development of eco-friendly products using waste plastic.
On the 15th, CJ Logistics announced that on the 14th, it signed a business agreement for the 'Plastic Initiative' to promote sustainable management and protect the global environment, together with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Association and Art Impact at its headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul.
This agreement centers on mutual cooperation among the three parties, including CJ Logistics, to strive for carbon and plastic reduction and contribute to achieving the UN's SDGs through the expansion of sustainable social contributions.
Accordingly, CJ Logistics will collaborate with the social enterprise Art Impact to develop eco-friendly products through research and development (R&D).
