On the 15th, Paul Bassett signed an 'Agreement for the Development of Eco-friendly Packaging for ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) Management' with Hansol Paper. At the signing ceremony, key officials from both companies, including M's Seed CEO Yongchul Kim and Hansol Paper CEO Cheolgyu Han, attended to discuss the development of eco-friendly packaging and the promotion of new businesses.
Through this agreement, Paul Bassett plans to replace take-out paper cups and disposable tableware with 'Terabas,' an eco-friendly paper container developed by Hansol Paper, by January next year, and will also change wet tissues to paper materials. The paper cups that Paul Bassett is changing this time are products certified as eco-friendly by the Ministry of Environment, with logos printed using soybean oil ink on eco-friendly paper containers. 'Terabas' does not use polyethylene coating, a type of plastic, which results in a high recycling rate.
Yongchul Kim, CEO of Paul Bassett, said, "It is meaningful to partner with Hansol Paper to change disposable items frequently used in stores to eco-friendly materials," and added, "By 2025, we will also convert major packages such as paper lids, drip bags, and coffee bean packages to recyclable eco-friendly materials and strive to expand ESG management activities."
