[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Hansol Paper announced on the 21st that it has signed a business agreement with Poonglim P&P, a subsidiary of food specialist company Ottogi, to introduce eco-friendly paper containers and packaging materials.

Poonglim P&P is a food packaging specialist company that produces food containers and packaging materials under the Ottogi brand. In line with strengthening ESG management, it applies an eco-friendly system throughout the entire packaging production process and is actively introducing eco-friendly materials.

Through this business agreement, both companies plan to introduce Hansol Paper's eco-friendly paper containers and packaging materials into food packages and gradually expand the application areas of paper materials. Initially, they plan to apply Hansol Paper's eco-friendly paper container product, Terravas, to paper containers and paper lids (caps).

Terravas is Hansol Paper's eco-friendly brand that can be used for cups, containers, straws, etc. Unlike conventional plastic-based (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) coated paper containers, it features a water-based coating solution developed in-house.

In addition, the two companies plan to conduct joint research to apply eco-friendly paper packaging Protego to retort pouches, pouches, and noodle packaging. Protego is a paper packaging material that can replace existing aluminum and vinyl flexible packaging, characterized by high barrier properties and eco-friendliness.

Han Cheol-gyu, CEO of Hansol Paper, said, "Through this agreement with Poonglim P&P, we can apply Hansol Paper's eco-friendly packaging materials to various domestic food brand products," adding, "We will continue to devote ourselves to research and development so that sustainable paper packaging can be applied in various fields such as food and daily necessities, solidifying our position as an eco-friendly material company."
