Hansol Paper announced on the 14th that it will apply its eco-friendly packaging material, 'Protego,' to Emart's natural organic snack products 'Tteokppung' and 'Longppung' and launch them.

Hansol Paper's Protego is a special paper packaging material made using moisture and gas barrier paper manufacturing technology, providing high barrier properties that were difficult to achieve with conventional paper packaging, thus improving the preservation of the contents.

Additionally, it uses pulp certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and has received food safety certifications from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), as well as recycling certification from the U.S. Underwriters Laboratories (UL), proving both safety and eco-friendliness as a food packaging material.

Last year, it was recognized for its eco-friendliness by reducing carbon emissions by approximately 39% compared to conventional plastic vinyl packaging and obtained green technology certification.

A Hansol Paper representative stated, “Applying our eco-friendly packaging material Protego to organic products enjoyed by infants and toddlers is a great opportunity to reduce carbon emissions,” and added, “We will continue research to develop eco-friendly packaging applicable to various products in the future.”
