Dongwon F&B, 'Yangban Gim Eco Package'

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] Dongwon F&B is leading the reduction of plastic usage with its eco-friendly seasoned laver product, ‘Yangban Gim Eco Package,’ which eliminates plastic containers.

On the 25th, Dongwon F&B announced that the Yangban Gim Eco Package has achieved a cumulative reduction of over 55 tons of plastic and 11 tons of paper waste. The Yangban Gim Eco Package is an eco-friendly product that removes the plastic container typically used to protect the contents from external impact. Not only does the Yangban Gim Eco Package reduce plastic, but it also decreases the packaging volume, cutting packaging waste such as vinyl and paper boxes to about one-third compared to previous packaging. According to industry sources, more than 600 million packs of seasoned laver with plastic trays were sold last year, generating approximately 2,280 tons of plastic waste.

The Yangban Gim Eco Package is the first in the domestic seasoned laver packaging market to introduce ‘laser-cut film.’ Laser-cut film is packaging material made by creating small perforations on the film surface with a high-temperature laser, forming dotted lines that make it easy to tear. The Yangban Gim Eco Package can be easily opened by holding both sides along the dotted line, allowing consumers to place the seasoned laver on the table and enjoy it conveniently without damage. Dongwon F&B plans to continue its environmental management efforts by lightening plastic usage across various products.
