Hyundai Department Store introduced eco-friendly shopping bags through the independent resource circulation system called 'Project 100.' Project 100 is an independent resource circulation system first initiated by Hyundai Department Store in the industry last year to expand resource recycling. So far, 8 million eco-friendly shopping bags have been used, making it the largest scale in the industry. The amount of wood saved through this is approximately 3,030 tons, resulting in the protection of about 22,000 trees.
Hyundai Department Store plans to continue expanding resource recycling through Project 100. The use of eco-friendly shopping bags has already been expanded from 16 Hyundai Department Store branches nationwide to 8 Hyundai Outlets, and the application of 100% eco-friendly recycled paper is being expanded by pilot introduction in holiday gift guidebooks and food hall product packaging boxes. A design change for the eco-friendly shopping bags is also under review within the year. The new design will minimize unnecessary ink usage and further maximize the eco-friendly image.
