Moorim Paper is distributing 1,000 eco-friendly pots made from the biodegradable paper 'NeoFore CUP' for free (first-come, first-served). These paper pots have excellent water resistance, so they do not get wet even when watered, and when transplanted into other pots or soil, the paper pot can be buried whole in the soil and will naturally decompose.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] In celebration of Arbor Month in April, flower-sharing events are continuously taking place. Although these events are held with good intentions to protect the environment, plastic pots, often chosen without much consideration due to their low cost, are commonly used when planting seedlings.

Plastic pots release environmental hormones and do not decompose when discarded, polluting the soil and water and negatively impacting the environment. Recently, there has been an increase in the use of eco-friendly pots made from recycled materials such as mugs and milk cartons, or paper-based pots instead of plastic ones.

Moorim Paper, a leading eco-friendly paper company in Korea, is conducting an eco-friendly event by distributing free 'Neofore Paper Pot' kits that are 100% biodegradable in soil.

With the growing societal emphasis on environmental importance, this event was planned to raise awareness of nature conservation by using paper pots instead of plastic pots during Arbor Month in April and to promote the eco-friendly value of paper.

The paper pots were specially made using Moorim’s eco-friendly paper brand 'Neofore' for this event. In particular, to better protect the soil and seedlings, the inner layer of the pot is made from 'Neofore CUP' paper, which has been certified biodegradable.

Thanks to an eco-friendly water-soluble coating, the pots have excellent water resistance, so watering does not easily soak or leak. Moreover, when the plants grow and are transplanted into larger pots or soil, the entire paper pot can be buried in the soil, where it biodegrades, enabling truly environmentally friendly planting. Additionally, it naturally functions as compost, providing a dual benefit.

Besides its eco-friendly features, the Neofore paper pot kit was designed with convenience in mind, considering the COVID-19 situation. The kit includes catnip seeds, which have calming effects against COVID blues and stress, along with potting soil and plant nutrients, all packaged together with the paper pot. Detailed instructions on how to plant the seeds are printed on the outside of the pot, allowing anyone to easily grow plants at home alone.

The Neofore paper pot kit distribution event will be held on a first-come, first-served basis until all 1,000 pre-prepared paper pots are gone, and anyone can participate through online application.

Applicants can join by adding Moorim’s paper complex experience space 'Moorim Gallery' KakaoTalk channel and applying through the 'Neoday Paper Pot' board within the channel. The pots will be sequentially shipped to the addresses provided at the time of application.
