eco-friendly packaging
To meet today's global demands for sustainability, LOTTE Wellfood has established a
strategic direction of eco marketing, through which waste from packaging materials is reduced in
consideration of the environment and society.
Our eco-friendly packaging strategy, the Sweet Eco 2025 project, seeks to generate performance in three
directions: reduction of plastic use, eco-friendly printing, and utilization of byproducts.
We will continue our efforts to implement the Sweet ECO 2025 KPI by developing technology through
cooperation with the LOTTE R&D Center, cooperating and creating networks through MOUs with partners such
as Hansol Paper, and strengthening collaboration and communication with in-house ESG-related
departments.
To help create a sustainable circular economy, we are further reviewing the increased use of recycled
plastics, employing bio-biodegradable packaging materials, and applying fewer packaging to products.

01 Tray change
All plastic buffers used in bulk-sized products such as Custard will be replaced with paper-based materials.02 Packaging container change
Plastic cup packaging for products such as Kancho and Cereal will be replaced with Replacing paper-based materials.03 Utensil change
Accessories such as plastic forks in Chaltuk Ice will be replaced with wooden forks. -
01 Simplification of packaging design
Packaging design will be simplified and lower color format will be used to reduce ink and solvent consumption.02 Printing method change
The packaging printing will be changed from gravure to flexography. - Flexography Unlike gravure printing, flexography uses the engraved printing method to reduce ink consumption. Because it can be applied to non-copper plates, it does not require organic solvents that are essential for printing conventional packaging. -
