[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Green Package Solution Co., Ltd., an eco-friendly new material packaging company, announced on the 9th that it will develop an 'eco-friendly volume-based waste bag' using national research funding.

The eco-friendly volume-based waste bag is a garbage bag that naturally decomposes when buried in a landfill. Various environmental issues have emerged as volume-based waste bags do not naturally decompose, causing the waste inside the bags to either not decompose or decompose slowly.

In response, the government has selected Green Package Solution, located in the Gumi Industrial Complex in Gyeongbuk, as the lead organization, with Gyeongbuk National University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, DYETEC Research Institute, Korea Conformity Laboratories, and R&F Chemical Co., Ltd. as participating institutions, to actively develop world-class eco-friendly volume-based waste bags that naturally decompose. A total of 4 billion KRW will be invested, including government-funded R&D funds and Green Package Solution's own research budget, with a development period of two years.

In June, Green Package Solution signed a business agreement with the Seo-gu Facilities Management Corporation of Incheon City for the research, development, and introduction of eco-friendly volume-based waste bags.

Green Package Solution is widely known for '6OUT,' which signifies that the product is made from plant-based raw materials and naturally decomposes within six months. 6OUT, gaining attention as a plastic alternative solution, completely decomposes naturally in a short period when buried in the ground, turning into compost that benefits nature and helps overcome environmental pollution issues.

An Seong-hoon, CEO of Green Package Solution, said, "The development of carbon-neutral eco-friendly volume-based waste bags is a national task," adding, "We will successfully lead the development of eco-friendly volume-based waste bags and contribute to solving the long-standing problems of landfill sites."
