[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] GS Shop announced on the 22nd that the application rate of eco-friendly packaging materials for TV home shopping products in the first quarter of this year exceeded 30%. This figure surpassed the annual target of 20% for eco-friendly packaging material application rate in just the first quarter, and when looking only at refrigerated and frozen food categories, the application rate of eco-friendly packaging materials from January to March was 98%.


As part of the "Friends Project to Save the Earth with Eco-friendliness," GS Shop is introducing various eco-friendly packaging materials. They are using a variety of eco-friendly packaging materials such as recycled paper clothing tags, paper cushioning materials, eco-friendly boxes without color ink, and paper clothing covers.


Starting this month, they will directly manufacture and supply water ice packs. These are made from single-material vinyl that is easy to separate and dispose of, increasing recyclability, and through direct manufacturing and supply, they plan to actively promote the introduction of water ice packs.



A GS Shop official said, "With the help of various business divisions and partners, the Friends Project to Save the Earth with Eco-friendliness is gaining momentum compared to last year," and added, "We will do our best to achieve a 100% eco-friendly application rate in the future."
