Jeju Samdasoo 330mL Product Obtains Ministry of Environment's 'Low Carbon Product Certification'

3.3% Additional Reduction in Carbon Emissions Product
Reduced PET Bottle Weight by 2g After Acquiring Environmental Product Declaration

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation announced on the 15th that its Jeju Samdasoo 330mL product has obtained the Ministry of Environment's 'Low Carbon Product Certification.'

The Low Carbon Product Certification is awarded to products that reduce carbon emissions by at least 3.3% more than products certified with the Environmental Product Declaration. It is an eco-friendly certification operated by the Ministry of Environment to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions during the production process and to promote a market-driven low-carbon consumption culture.

The Jeju Samdasoo 330mL product was recognized as a low carbon product after reducing carbon emissions in the production process by light-weighting the PET bottle by 2g last year, following its acquisition of the Environmental Product Declaration in 2019.

Through light-weighting, Jeju Samdasoo has reduced its annual plastic usage by approximately 98 tons, and it is expected that the low carbon product certification mark will enhance consumers' accessibility to green consumption.

Additionally, since all Jeju Samdasoo product lines hold the Environmental Product Declaration certification, the corporation plans to pursue additional acquisition of the Low Carbon Product Certification. To this end, it plans to lay the foundation for obtaining the certification by further light-weighting the Jeju Samdasoo 500mL product within this year.

Kim Jeong-hak, President of Jeju Development Corporation, stated, "Jeju Samdasoo will accelerate the realization of carbon neutrality and the era of green growth through securing technology for eco-friendly production systems and product development."
