CU Introduces Food Waste Processors in Stores... "To Be Installed in New Stores Starting Next Year"

CU has signed a business agreement with Moms, a lifestyle and kitchen appliance specialist company, to expand the introduction of food waste disposers.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] CU announced on the 31st that it has signed a business agreement with Moms, a lifestyle and kitchen appliance specialist company, to expand the introduction of food waste processors.

The food waste processor being introduced this time uses an eco-friendly liquid microorganism microbial decomposition method, which ferments and decomposes a significant amount of food waste within 24 hours.

The two companies plan to sequentially install food waste processors in new stores opening from next year and also develop a food waste processor model optimized for CU stores.

According to CU, a one-month trial of the food waste processor at some stores in Seoul starting last September resulted in a 99% reduction in the average daily amount of food waste compared to before.

A BGF Retail official said, "Food waste is known to emit a significant amount of carbon during distribution and processing, so the introduction of this processor is expected to further solidify our role as a green platform," adding, "We will continue steady efforts to lead eco-friendly distribution trends."
