[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] GS Supermarket announced on the 4th that it will replace flyers and promotional printed materials in offline stores with eco-friendly paper.


GR-certified eco-friendly GR-coat paper is produced by decomposing collected waste paper from domestic and international sources, removing foreign substances, and undergoing a deinking process that disperses and removes ink from the paper. The production volume of flyers used in GS Supermarket's offline stores reaches 20 million copies.



A GS Supermarket official stated, "Although the change to eco-friendly promotional paper in stores, promoted as part of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, costs more than 15% compared to the existing paper, it is a bold investment in eco-friendly management," adding, "We will continue efforts for eco-friendliness in various areas such as product packaging and wrapping materials in the future."
