[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Comprehensive food company Ourhome announced on the 15th that it received the Korea Packaging Technology Society President's Award at the '16th Korea Packaging Exhibition.'

The Korea Packaging Exhibition is an event hosted annually by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy since 2007, selecting outstanding companies and products that have contributed to the development of the packaging industry through strict evaluation considering marketability and functionality. This year's awards ceremony was held the previous day at KINTEX in Ilsan.

Ourhome submitted the 'Reclosable Tofu Cap,' which adds a re-packaging function to the existing tofu packaging container, and received the Korea Packaging Technology Society President's Award. The product was designed to improve hygiene issues that may occur when storing tofu after purchase and to enhance consumer convenience. It was designed with a universal structure to be compatible with other companies' tofu containers. It was recognized for excellent technology by securing functionality through a stable cap structure, allowing reuse after washing. The product also received high evaluations in the eco-friendly and sustainability categories.

An Ourhome official said, "Recycling and sustainability values are emerging as major issues in the packaging field, and we are pleased that our product's industrial competitiveness has been recognized," adding, "We plan to continue focusing on developing differentiated packaging that enhances consumer convenience as well as eco-friendly elements alongside food research and development."
