Aseptic packs are a type of paper packaging mainly used for dairy products such as milk and soy milk sold on the market.

This agreement was made to increase the recycling rate of aseptic packs and create a sustainable resource circulation system. It aligns with the government's "New Growth Strategy for Industry through the Activation of the Circular Economy."

The 12 companies participating in the agreement are Namyang Dairy Products, Daesang Wellife, Dongwon F&B, Lotte Chilsung Beverage, Maeil Dairies, Binggrae, Samyook Foods, Seoul F&B, Seoul Milk Cooperative, LG Household & Health Care, Irom, and Jung Food.

Through this agreement, Hansol Paper plans to recycle used aseptic packs as raw materials to produce some paper packaging products. The goal is to replace 10% of the input raw materials. The 12 participating companies will use recycled packaging materials during a six-month pilot operation period.
