Dongseo Foods Introduces Paper Handles on Maxim Coffee Mix Packaging

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Dongseo Food announced on the 1st that it will introduce paper handles for large-size Maxim coffee mix products.

The switch to paper handles promoted by Dongseo Food was planned to actively participate in the Ministry of Environment's "Plastic Waste Reduction Measures for Household Waste" announced in December last year.

The items to which the paper handles will be applied this time are three sizes of Maxim Mocha Gold coffee mix: 210 packs, 220 packs, and 400 packs. Subsequently, the paper handles will be gradually expanded to other large-size coffee mix products by the end of this year.

Until now, Dongseo Food has used polyethylene (PE) plastic handles for large-size Maxim coffee mix products containing more than 100 packs. Replacing all of them with paper handles is expected to reduce plastic usage by about 200 tons annually.

Meanwhile, the paper handles introduced this time have completed strength tests through external testing agencies and Dongseo Food's own analysis to ensure that consumers will not experience any inconvenience when using them.
