Lotteria Introduces Eco-Friendly Uniforms at All Directly Managed Stores Nationwide

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Lotte Ria announced on the 21st that it has introduced eco-friendly uniforms to all directly operated stores nationwide starting from the 18th.

The operation of eco-friendly uniforms is part of the ESG management strategy realization and is a joint project combining Lotte Chemical's 'Project Loop' collaboration with the textile fabric production technology of chemical fiber manufacturer Hyosung TNC.

Lotte GRS, which operates Lotte Ria, previously introduced uniforms produced by the eco-friendly material fashion brand Pleatsmama to the Angel-in-us Jamsil Lotte World Mall B1 store on December 24 last year, conducting a test as the first in the food service industry.

The eco-friendly uniforms were produced using Hyosung TNC's eco-friendly recycled fiber fabric 'Regen,' made by recycling domestic waste PET bottles. Each uniform recycles about 16 to 20 waste PET bottles.

In particular, the uniforms for Lotte Ria and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts applied a mechanical recycling method to recycle waste PET bottles using Regen fabric. Going forward, Angel-in-us uniforms will be produced using a chemical method applied to waste PET bottles. The chemical method is a technology that allows recycling regardless of color or non-color PET bottles and is a key technology to expand the resource circulation area.

Lotte GRS is gradually introducing eco-friendly uniforms to about 60% of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts' directly operated stores during the same period, following the 100% introduction to Lotte Ria's directly operated stores. Angel-in-us also aims to apply 100% to directly operated stores by September to October.
