The packaging materials currently used for milk or soy milk are general packs (milk packs) and sterilized packs. Although these two are commonly referred to as 'paper packs,' they are not actually classified as paper products, and the types of packs differ from each other.

Nevertheless, many households still frequently collect paper packs together with waste paper for recycling or fail to separate general packs and sterilized packs when disposing of them.

In particular, general packs, which account for about 70% of paper packs, have high recycling value as raw materials for premium tissue paper and are easy to recycle, but most are easily discarded due to incorrect sorting and disposal.

To address this issue, Namyang Dairy Products launched the Pro Pack Collector campaign and selected 1,000 consumers to participate. The waste materials collected over approximately four months were delivered to Burim Paper, a recycled tissue manufacturer, to be recycled into non-fluorescent tissue paper and paper towels. Additionally, outstanding participants were awarded prizes such as bags from the eco-friendly clothing brand Freitag, plogging kits, and Pro Pack Collector figures.

A Namyang Dairy Products representative stated, "Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of consumers who contributed to resource circulation and value consumption, we successfully completed the long-term Pro Pack Collector campaign. We will continue to listen to various opinions and ideas to plan good activities that can protect the Earth."
