Paris Baguette applied green-certified eco-friendly packaging materials to all 10 types of finished bread products, including Soft Authentic Milk Bread, Crispy Toast as It Is, and Nutty Corn Bread, as well as a total of 26 products such as Choco Sora Bread, Manwol Bread, and Green Matcha Bondelish.

The green-certified packaging materials use eco-friendly manufacturing technology that maintains color clarity without using substances such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) and Toluene. The packaging for bread, etc., features a flexographic printing method called green printing. Flexographic printing is a relief printing method that uses highly safe water-based ink and can reduce ink and organic solvent usage by more than 30% (approximately 9.6 tons annually) compared to conventional methods. Paris Baguette plans to continuously expand the application scope of green-certified packaging materials.

In addition to applying green-certified packaging materials, Paris Baguette has been steadily making efforts for eco-friendliness. Through a voluntary agreement to reduce disposable items in July 2018, it reduced the use of disposable plastic shopping bags by nearly 90% compared to previous usage as of last year. It also launched a “Reducing Disposable Knife” campaign, providing disposable plastic knives only to customers who request them when purchasing cakes, reducing usage by about 20% compared to before. Furthermore, considering that using ink on plastic cups makes recycling difficult, Paris Baguette took the lead in the industry in January 2019 by completely eliminating ink logos on disposable cups and replacing them with embossed logos.

A Paris Baguette official said, “We prioritized applying green-certified eco-friendly packaging materials to major products to reduce the use of environmentally harmful chemicals,” adding, “We will continue to expand the range of products using eco-friendly packaging materials and strengthen eco-friendly management.”
