Yuhan-Kimberly received these honors for products including the Bebegrow Ecozen Training Cup, Pulp Tape Cleaner, and Mop Tool concept. The awards were in the following fields: Product Design (Baby & Kids), Product Design (Household Goods), and Concept (Product Concept).

The iF Design Award is a highly prestigious design competition that comprehensively evaluates innovation, functionality, and more across a total of seven categories, including product packaging and concept.

The Bebegrow Ecozen Training Cup was highly praised for its ergonomic design that helps children use the cup easily, enhancing both safety and user convenience. A unique bump structure (slip-prevention bump) is applied at the thumb position, so children can grip the cup securely with one hand, preventing slipping. The cups can be stacked for convenient storage, and bio-plastic material based on plant-derived ingredients was used, taking environmental considerations into account.

The Pulp Tape Cleaner was developed through open innovation with the eco-friendly packaging solutions company Re-vation. It received high marks as the world’s first “All-Paper” tape cleaner. Utilizing paper molding technology, all components—including the exterior—are made from paper, allowing the entire product to be separated and recycled as paper after use, thus contributing to resource circulation.

The innovative “Mop Tool” concept was highly evaluated as an example of cleaning product design that reflects a user-centered philosophy. A ball-type joint enables the cleaning head to rotate 360 degrees, and the head is available in both triangular and rectangular types for convenient cleaning in various situations. The ergonomic handle design reduces strain on the wrist, and cleaning cloths can be attached with a Velcro system for even more convenient and hygienic use.

A Yuhan-Kimberly official stated, “As we provide products and services closely related to daily life, we will continue to embody our design philosophy of solving real-life problems from a user-centered perspective, thereby enhancing the differentiated competitiveness of Korean-made household goods.”
