[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Domestic small and medium-sized enterprises launched eco-friendly campaigns on the 5th to mark 'Environment Day.'

Household goods company Lock&Lock fired the starting shot with eco-friendly eco-bags. Lock&Lock introduced the industry's first eco-bag made from recycled polypropylene (PP). The eco-bags were made from airtight containers collected by the company over about three months since February.

The eco-bags are made entirely of recycled PP, from the bag body to the handles, and can be recycled when separated and disposed of as plastic. The amount of plastic used in one eco-bag is about 40g, which is similar to the amount of plastic in a 100ml airtight container.

Next, Clean Country announced that it will renew its wet tissue packaging, caps, and paper boxes by applying eco-friendly materials throughout. The primary packaging that wraps the wet tissues uses green-certified packaging that reduces carbon emissions by utilizing environmentally friendly technology during production. About 50% of the plastic used in the wet tissue cap at the top of the packaging is made from recycled plastic materials made from waste plastic, reducing plastic usage. The paper boxes used for delivery are made from eco-friendly paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). A Clean Country official stated, "Clean Country wet tissues are strictly managed to drinking water standards and have received CGMP certification from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, making them products that consider both customers and the environment."

SGC Solution, the maker of 'Glasslock,' is conducting a promotion. The 'Go Green' event is being held on the official Glasslock mall, official Smart Store, GS Shop, NS Mall, and others. Specifically, a special broadcast on GS Shop's mobile-only live commerce 'Shoppy Live' will be held from 10 a.m. on the 5th, offering a 50% discount on the 'Pickup Container 2L, 3.7L Set,' which can be used for food packaging. Additionally, the tumbler 'Tumblock Plain Mug Tumbler,' which can replace disposable cups, is being sold as a 1+1 event. The company will also give away Go Green eco-bags to customers who purchase Environment Day special products during the broadcast.

Platform companies also joined in. Accommodation platform Yanolja carried out a plastic-free campaign centered on employees. Yanolja provided free drinks and snacks to employees and others who brought tumblers at a snack truck set up in front of its office building in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The company explained that eco-friendly bamboo straws were also distributed to encourage employees and others to practice zero waste.

Baebo-chan, CEO of Yanolja's management division, said, "To commemorate World Environment Day, we held a campaign to remind employees of the importance of environmental protection and to practice carbon neutrality," adding, "We will continue to expand eco-friendly policies that employees can easily practice in their daily lives."
