[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Hansol Paper announced on the 24th that it signed an "Agreement for the Development of Eco-friendly Packaging to Strengthen ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Management" with HPO at Hansol Paper's headquarters located in Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul. The signing ceremony was attended by Hansol Paper CEO Cheolgyu Han and HPO CEO Hyonyong Lee, among others. HPO is a company that produces premium health functional foods such as probiotics and vitamins and was recently listed on the KOSDAQ.

Through this agreement, Hansol Paper and HPO will jointly develop eco-friendly packaging applicable to health functional foods. The two companies plan to first develop 'Protego H,' a packaging material for health functional foods, based on Hansol Paper's technological capabilities. HPO will apply Hansol Paper's existing eco-friendly paper packaging material 'Protego' and eco-friendly coating 'CCP' to its premium health functional food brand 'Denps' product 'Truevitamin.'

Protego is a paper-based packaging material that replaces plastic and aluminum packaging and is more than 90% biodegradable. Additionally, Hansol Paper explained that it enhances product preservation by providing functions that block oxygen, moisture, and odors, which were difficult to achieve with conventional paper packaging materials. CCP is an eco-friendly water-based coating that replaces vinyl coating and is easy to recycle.

Hansol Paper CEO Cheolgyu Han said, "The goal of both companies through this agreement is to commercialize truly eco-friendly health functional foods from the contents to the packaging," adding, "We will continue to spare no effort in research, development, and investment in eco-friendly packaging materials applicable to various fields such as food and pharmaceuticals."
