The company emphasized that it is the first case among domestic food companies to apply chemically recycled plastic to gift set trays. Dongwon's Chuseok gift sets are planned with a total of five concepts.

First, there is an eco-friendly category consisting of 'Recycling Plastic,' 'All-Paper Package,' and 'Less Plastic' gift sets. The Recycling Plastic gift set uses recycled raw materials (Cr-PP) extracted through pyrolysis of discarded waste plastic. The all-paper package made entirely of paper and the Less Plastic gift sets, which reduce plastic usage, have also been expanded more than twice.

Steady seller gift sets include about 100 types of healthy foods such as high-protein nutritional food 'Dongwon Tuna' and 'Richam Double Light,' which reduces sodium and fat. Practical comprehensive gift sets composed of three or more products, including tuna cans, canned ham, healthy cooking oil, tuna extract, solid broth, and sesame oil, have also been expanded by about 20% compared to last Lunar New Year.

Premium gift sets are also introduced. The 'Dongwon Tuna Heuksamjin Gold No. 1,' containing high-protein Dongwon Tuna and black ginseng concentrate, and the Yangban Premium Gim gift set, composed of premium raw seaweed such as gamtae gim, chosari gim, and gopchang dol gim, are being introduced for the first time. In addition, there are unique gift sets such as the 'Dongwon Mat Cham Set,' consisting of the second-generation tuna can 'Dongwon Mat Cham' that can be eaten directly with rice without separate cooking, and the 'My Plant G9 No. 1,' which contains the plant-based canned ham 'My Plant Original.'

A Dongwon F&B official said, "We will continue to lead market trends by introducing various gift sets that reflect consumers' needs for eco-friendliness, health, and practicality."
