[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] The Korea Society of Pulp and Paper Engineering, the only academic organization in Korea specializing in pulp and paper research, has changed its symbol mark and society name notation (OI·Organization Identity) to accelerate the shift in paper perception.

The new symbol of the Korea Society of Pulp and Paper Engineering is designed based on the letter 'P,' the initial of the English words Pulp and Paper, using green, symbolizing environmental friendliness, and brown, reminiscent of soil and trees, as the primary colors. It represents the identity of paper as an eco-friendly material with infinite resource circulation.

With the unveiling of the new symbol, the Korea Society of Pulp and Paper Engineering plans to correct misunderstandings about the paper industry, which is often blamed as a major cause of environmental destruction, and to highlight the usefulness of paper as an alternative resource amid severe environmental pollution caused by indiscriminate plastic use and marine ecosystem destruction.

Kim Jin-du, president of the Korea Society of Pulp and Paper Engineering, said, "This symbol mark change is more about re-examining and properly informing the value of paper than a simple external change," adding, "Along with the new symbol, we will promote that paper is eco-friendly, has advantages in various fields such as packaging and containers, and especially excels in recycling compared to any other material."
