Lotte Chemical Supplies Reusable EPP Delivery Boxes... 'Eco-Friendly Delivery'
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] Lotte Chemical and Korea Container Pool (KCP) announced on the 27th that they will supply recyclable and reusable expanded polypropylene (EPP) insulated delivery boxes to create an eco-friendly delivery ecosystem.
EPP is a material that complements the characteristics of traditional Styrofoam, being impact-resistant, easy to mold, and recyclable without generating harmful substances.
The EPP insulated delivery boxes supplied this time are co-developed with KCP and have superior insulation performance compared to paper boxes or Styrofoam boxes currently used in dawn delivery. They are reusable and made from a single material, making recycling easy.
The EPP insulated delivery boxes are used to pack the products ordered by consumers for delivery and are immediately collected on-site for cleaning. This is expected to improve consumer inconvenience regarding delivery box disposal and reduce discarded packaging materials.
Lotte Chemical plans to supply the EPP insulated delivery boxes, which can be used for frozen and fresh product deliveries, to fresh food delivery companies in line with the recent trend of non-face-to-face consumption culture.
Lee Youngjun, head of Lotte Chemical's Advanced Materials Business, said, "The eco-friendly EPP delivery box is a case that actively reflects the current era and consumers' needs for eco-friendly materials. We will continue to expand our portfolio of eco-friendly products that coexist with the environment and can be used across various industries."
