Jeju Samdasoo 500mL Product Obtains Ministry of Environment's 'Low Carbon Product Certification'

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation, which produces and sells Jeju Samdasoo, announced on the 12th that it has obtained the Ministry of Environment's 'Low Carbon Product Certification' for the Jeju Samdasoo 500mL product, which is in high demand as a portable size.

The Low Carbon Product Certification is an environmental certification granted by the Ministry of Environment to products that reduce carbon emissions by at least an additional 3.3% compared to existing Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) certified products. It operates with the purpose of reducing carbon emissions based on companies' voluntary eco-friendly production activities and contributing to the spread of green consumption culture. Since acquiring the Environmental Product Declaration for the Jeju Samdasoo 500mL product in 2019, Jeju Development Corporation has repeatedly innovated by producing label-free products, light-weighting containers, and reducing the use of packaging film, resulting in receiving the Low Carbon Product Certification.

Meanwhile, since last year, Jeju Development Corporation has established an eco-friendly production system in various areas including ▲light-weighting containers ▲production of label-free products ▲obtaining low carbon product certification ▲laying the foundation for a circular economy society. In particular, the label-free product ‘Jeju Samdasoo Green’ has received the highest recycling grade from the Korea Environment Corporation and has been highly favored since its launch, accounting for more than 30% of total sales. In May, the corporation signed a business agreement with the Korea Environment Corporation to promote carbon neutrality and resource circulation, establishing a cooperative system for ‘expanding label-free Jeju Samdasoo production,’ ‘expanding container light-weighting,’ and ‘strengthening PET recycling promotion.’

Kim Jeong-hak, president of Jeju Development Corporation, said, “Jeju Samdasoo takes pride in being the industry's top drinking water brand and will accelerate the realization of the carbon-neutral and green growth era through establishing eco-friendly production systems and securing technology for product development.”
