Hanjin Wins Award for Eco-Friendly Packaging 'Green Waffle' at Korea Packaging Exhibition

Hanjin announced on the 3rd that it received the highest award, the Prime Minister's Award, at the "17th Korea Packaging Exhibition" hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Packaging Technology Center.

The Korea Packaging Exhibition is the most prestigious domestic award ceremony in the packaging sector, given to companies and products that have contributed to the development of the packaging industry and enhancement of technological competitiveness. The award ceremony for the "17th Korea Packaging Exhibition" will be held on the 18th at KINTEX in Ilsan.

The product for which Hanjin received the award is the eco-friendly packaging material "Green Waffle," launched in November last year. "Green Waffle" combines the image of "Green," representing environmental consciousness, and "Waffle," symbolizing the dense structure that absorbs shocks and ensures packaging stability. The idea was concretized and produced based on a concept directly proposed by Hanjin President Cho Hyun-min.

It is made from 100% recyclable eco-friendly paper. Instead of tape, it features a simple function that allows packaging through assembly alone. Designed in a honeycomb shape that securely holds products inside delivery boxes without damage, it aligns with eco-friendly trends.

Green Waffle was jointly developed with Eco Life Packaging, a partner since 2020 in developing the eco-friendly delivery box "Wing Box." They have also completed a joint patent application for the manufacturing technology. Currently, development of Green Waffle continues to reflect feedback from consumers and corporate clients, aiming for application across various product categories.

Green Waffle can be purchased as a "Green Waffle + Wing Box SET" on the eco-friendly companion platform "Green On Hanjin Homepage," which allows small business owners and solo entrepreneurs to participate in eco-friendly activities, and on the "Wing Box Homepage" operated by Eco Life Packaging.

A Hanjin official stated, "As interest in environmental protection increases, the number of eco-consumers voluntarily participating in the consumption of eco-friendly products is growing. Since the introduction of Green Waffle, customer satisfaction reviews regarding delivery packaging have increased. We will continue to lead the development of eco-friendly packaging and promote the spread of value-based consumption."
