Samhwa Paint, First Paint Industry Company Designated as Green Store

Samwha Paint Industrial announced on the 23rd that 45 of its distribution agencies were recognized for their contribution to promoting the sales of eco-friendly products and were designated as Green Stores by the Ministry of Environment, marking the first time in the paint industry.

The 'Green Store' system is designated by the Ministry of Environment to stores that encourage eco-friendly consumption and lifestyles and contribute to the activation of green product sales. Here, green products refer to products that minimize the input of energy and resources as well as the generation of greenhouse gases and pollutants.

Until now, Green Stores have mainly been designated in department stores, large marts, and convenience stores. This is the first case in the paint industry with 45 Samwha Paint distribution agencies designated. The 45 Samwha Paint distribution agencies designated as Green Stores will receive support such as plaques, incentives, and promotions from the Ministry of Environment for the next three years.

Samwha Paint has developed eco-friendly water-based paints such as the ‘iLux’ and ‘iSaenggak’ series, as well as biomass and recycled plastic paints, to build a sustainable environment.

A representative from Samwha Paint said, “This Green Store designation is the result of recognizing Samwha Paint’s focused efforts on eco-friendly projects,” and added, “We plan to strive to have all of Samwha Paint’s distribution agencies designated as Green Stores.”
