NS Home Shopping Supports Eco-Friendly Packaging Materials for New SME Partners

NS Home Shopping will provide eco-friendly packaging materials worth 24 million KRW to new small and medium-sized enterprise partners.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] NS Home Shopping announced on the 15th that it will support eco-friendly packaging materials worth 24 million KRW for new small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) partners.

The supported partners this time are four SMEs that started selling through NS Home Shopping since last year and have achieved excellent results. Depending on the products sold by each partner, paper tape and corrugated boxes will be delivered to each business site for room temperature products, and eco-friendly ice packs will be provided for frozen products by mid-June.

The paper tape, unlike conventional vinyl tape, can be separated and disposed of together with the box without separate separation, and the eco-friendly ice packs are filled 100% with water, making separation and disposal convenient. The packaging materials are also refrigerants made of vinyl-type materials that can be recycled.

Earlier, NS Home Shopping supported about 89,000 eco-friendly ice packs to 10 small food partners in April, and plans to continue regularly supporting eco-friendly packaging materials to SMEs in the future.

An NS Home Shopping official said, "We hope this will bring eco-friendly management to SMEs and serve as an opportunity to change customers' lifestyles to be eco-friendly," adding, "We will continue to practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management to become a comprehensive distribution company that exerts positive influence."
