[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Yeonwoo Co., Ltd., a leading comprehensive packaging manufacturer in the domestic cosmetics industry, announced on the 11th that it has obtained the global sustainability certification 'ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification)'.


The ISCC PLUS certification is an international certification system overseen by Control Union, headquartered in Europe. It is an eco-friendly certification that recognizes the use, traceability, and manageability of recycled plastics in accordance with the 'Circular Economy Action Plan' policy. As of January last year, about 600 companies worldwide participate, including Est?e Lauder (ELC) and Eastman, which are ISCC PLUS certified companies.


With the acquisition of the ISCC PLUS certification, Yeonwoo has been recognized for its participation in a more transparent circular economy practice.


At the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) held in Glasgow, UK, last October, an agreement was made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 45% to respond to global warming.


Yeonwoo has continuously developed eco-friendly low-carbon packaging materials to join this global climate change crisis effort, and as a result, it won three awards including the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award in the eco-friendly packaging category at the '2021 Korea Star Awards'.



A Yeonwoo official said, "Due to the recent surge in inquiries about recycled (eco-friendly) products mainly from large domestic clients and global customers in the European market, we obtained the ISCC PLUS certification," adding, "Based on this ISCC PLUS certification, we will leap forward as a global leader in eco-friendly business through ESG management."
