Moorim and Korea Kolmar Develop Eco-Friendly Paper Mask Pack Pouch with 45% Less Plastic

On the 23rd, Murim announced that it has successfully developed a paper pouch for mask packs in collaboration with Korea Kolmar.

Murim's eco-friendly paper, 'Neofore FLEX,' was applied to the mask pack paper pouch. Neofore FLEX has the advantage of being able to be stored for a long time even at low temperatures, and it maintains durability even if condensation occurs. Because of this, it is evaluated as a suitable material for refrigerated and frozen storage products.

Existing mask pack pouches have mainly used plastic vinyl or aluminum packaging materials to prevent moisture from leaking out. This has continuously raised environmental concerns.

The mask pack paper pouch, which combines the technological capabilities of both companies, is an eco-friendly packaging material that significantly reduces plastic usage. It can be separated and disposed of as paper, making recycling easy, and it also has moisture barrier properties that keep the mask pack moist even after a long time.

Korea Kolmar expects that the development of this mask pack paper pouch will reduce plastic usage by more than 45% compared to existing packaging materials.

Murim views this collaboration as an opportunity to demonstrate the broad scalability of Neofore FLEX, which can be used not only for frozen food packaging but also in various fields such as cosmetics. In fact, tests are already underway with leading domestic cosmetic brands to switch refill shampoos, body washes, cushions, and more to paper packaging. Additionally, there are plans to expand its application to various fields such as paper tubes and product labels.

Ryu Singyu, Head of Sales at Murim, stated, “Through this collaboration, Murim’s eco-friendly paper has once again been recognized for its diverse applicability and outstanding technology. As ESG management principles spread across all industries, interest and demand for Neofore FLEX, which combines quality and eco-friendliness, are expected to increase even further.”
