Shinsegae Food Wins Grand Prize in Green Packaging Contest for 'Eco-Friendly Cake Package'

Plastic used for frozen cake packaging reduced by 17 tons annually... Enhancing consumer convenience and safety

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Shinsegae Food announced on the 15th that its "Eco-friendly Cake Package" won the Grand Prize at the 12th Green Packaging Contest.

Shinsegae Food's eco-friendly cake package consists of a one-touch fixing method package that simultaneously secures the cake from all sides using paper material instead of plastic containers and plastic bands used for frozen cake packaging, and a paper band with water-soluble coating technology. Through this, Shinsegae Food reduced the annual plastic usage for frozen cake packaging by 17 tons and made the paper band with water-soluble coating recyclable.

For consumer convenience, the package is designed as an integrated unit that allows the front part to be opened at once for immediate cake consumption. Additionally, it eliminates the risk of plastic container breakage during product distribution, enhancing safety.

Shinsegae Food's eco-friendly cake package has been used since July for packaging frozen cakes such as Beckia Enouveau and The Menagerie, sold through online malls and mobile gift services. Shinsegae Food plans to expand the use of the eco-friendly cake package to all frozen cake products to be released in the future.

A Shinsegae Food official stated, "The eco-friendly cake package is meaningful as it enhances not only the environment but also consumer convenience and safety based on Shinsegae Food's packaging technology," and added, "As consumer awareness of resource saving and waste reduction spreads, we plan to continue integrating eco-friendly technologies in various fields."
