[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Dunkin, the donut brand of BR Korea, a subsidiary of SPC Group, is accelerating its eco-friendly container business, 'Duncan.'

On the 6th, Dunkin stated, "Currently, out of over 700 stores nationwide, Duncan is being used in 400 stores," adding, "Duncan is a product specialized for the prolonged COVID-19 situation due to its ease of transport when ordering delivery or takeout at stores."

Introduced in April this year, 'Duncan' is an environmentally friendly container made of aluminum. It is made from aluminum material that can be recycled across industries through a simpler process than paper or plastic, which have complicated recycling procedures. According to Dunkin, aluminum recycling results in less raw material loss, thus having a higher resource circulation value. Recently, according to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, due to the prolonged COVID-19 crisis, food delivery increased by 19.8% compared to the same period last year, and waste plastics and vinyl also increased by about 11-15%.

When customers order beverage menus at Dunkin stores, the drinks made on-site are sealed in this Duncan container. Dunkin explains that since the menu is prepared and sealed immediately upon order receipt, there is less risk of spoilage compared to drinks served in regular cups.
