Hanwha Solutions, DIATEC, Mirae Life Collaborate on Eco-Friendly Packaging Development

By 2030, 50% of Packaging Materials for Daily and Hygiene Products to be Replaced with Eco-Friendly Materials

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Hanwha Solutions is partnering with domestic companies to develop eco-friendly packaging materials.

Hanwha Solutions' Chemical Division announced on the 10th that it has signed a 'Business Agreement for Joint Promotion of Eco-Friendly Packaging Material Development' with packaging film manufacturer DI Tech and hygiene product specialist Mirae Saenghwal. The goal is to replace more than half of the packaging materials for hygiene products such as tissues produced by Mirae Saenghwal with eco-friendly materials by 2030.

Hanwha Solutions and DI Tech will improve the quality of recycled materials made by crushing discarded plastics to develop eco-friendly packaging materials. Mirae Saenghwal plans to apply these materials to major products such as the ‘Jalpullineunjip’ tissue brand.

Moon Kyung-won, head of Hanwha Solutions' PO (polyolefin) business division, said, "This project is meaningful in that it recycles logistics packaging materials that are massively discarded after a single use to establish a plastic circular economy," adding, "We will continuously develop eco-friendly products through partnerships with companies and strengthen ESG (environment, social, and governance) management."
