Aekyung Wins 'Korea Institute of Industrial Technology President's Award' at Packaging Expo

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Aekyung Industrial announced on the 30th that it received the 'Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Director's Award' at the '16th Korea Packaging Exhibition.'

An Aekyung Industrial official said, "We were honored with the award for introducing environmentally friendly packaging materials that increase recyclability and reduce carbon emissions for the 3kg product of our flagship laundry detergent brand 'Spark' (SPARK)."

According to Aekyung Industrial, the packaging film for Spark 3kg was changed from a composite material (vinyl OTHER) to a single material (vinyl LDPE), thereby improving recyclability. In addition, by lowering the sealing temperature required to seal the packaging compared to before, energy consumption was reduced, which also decreased carbon emissions generated during product manufacturing. Aekyung Industrial developed the packaging materials together with SK Geocentric and Daelim Chemical.

The Korea Packaging Exhibition is an award in the packaging sector hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Packaging Technology Center of the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology. It has been held since 2007 with the purpose of enhancing industrial competitiveness by rewarding companies that contributed to the development of the packaging industry by reflecting excellent packaging technology.
