DEVELOPMENT OF ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING
We aim to reduce CO2 emissions and waste materials by developing eco-friendly packaging
materials. To this end, we are carrying out a variety of activities to reduce CO2 emissions in
the overall production process ranging from the production of packages to their disposal;
by reducing, recycling and re-using packaging waste, while keeping pace with the government’s
policies related to the Waste Disposal Charge System, the regulations on excessive packaging
and the use of disposable products, the Extended Producer
Responsibility (EPR) System, and the Separate Waste Disposal Labelling System.
Furthermore, we are committed to developing optimal packaging materials for resource
circulation after incinerating or burying packaging materials.
