Moorim changes its European subsidiary name to 'MOORIM EUROPE'

▲ The changed CI of 'MOORIM EUROPE'​▲ View of the 'MOORIM EUROPE'​ office On July 25, Moorim's (CEO: Lee Do-kyun) European subsidiary 'MOORIM UK' changed its corporate name to 'MOORIM EUROPE''. This decision is a strategic move to redefine Moorim's identity to clearly reflect the company's expanded operations across Europe from its initial focus on the UK and to continue to grow its presence in the European market. The new corporate name reflects the company's commitment to expanding its reach beyond a single country to connect with Europe as a whole. The corporate name change officially took effect on July 25, the same week as Moorim's founding anniversary, July 26. This change, which coincides with the company's anniversary, marks a significant milestone linking the path Moorim has traveled with the leap forward it is taking. Such changes naturally align with the future vision shared at the 20th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the European subsidiary last year. The event, held in Kingston, London, brought together local representatives and Seoul office staff to reflect on the company's journey over the past 20 years and share a common direction for sustainable growth in the European market. Meanwhile, Moorim's European subsidiary was launched in 2004 as the first sales subsidiary of an Asian paper manufacturer and has established itself as a strategic hub and gateway for the company's expansion into Europe. Starting in the UK and now in more than 20 countries, the company has established strong partnerships with direct sales networks and long-term cooperation with large Western European customers to promote the excellence of Korean paper. The trust and performance that have been built over high entry barriers are further extended by Moorim's strengths of superior quality, environmental friendliness, and consistent sales strategy. Building on this foundation, Moorim will further strengthen its connections across Europe and further solidify its position as a trusted partner in a rapidly changing global marketplace.

Moorim Becomes the First Company in the Industry to Achieve the Highest 'Zero Waste to Landfill' Rating

▲ A view of Moorim P&P's Ulsan plant, the only natural virgin pulp producer in Korea.Moorim became the first paper company in the world to receive the highest rating of 'Platinum' in the Zero Waste to Landfill global verification. Moorim P&P (CEO: Lee Do-kyun) has become the first paper company in the world to achieve the highest rating of 'Platinum' in 'Zero Waste to Landfill (hereinafter ZWTL)' verification by UL Solutions, a global safety science institute. This completes Moorim's eco-friendly system from raw material procurement to product production and waste disposal, solidifying its status as a 'perfect green factory'. ZWTL is a global verification scheme that awards Silver (90-94%), Gold (95-99%), and Platinum (100%) ratings based on the waste recycling rate of a business establishment. Moorim P&P's Ulsan plant, the only manufacturer of natural virgin pulp in Korea, achieved the Platinum rating by recycling 100% of its waste. In particular, the Ulsan plant produces sustainable natural pulp and converts 'black liquor', a biomass fuel generated during the manufacturing process, into renewable energy such as electricity and steam to produce the only low-carbon paper certified by the Ministry of Environment in Korea. The company also recycled most of its waste into soil amendments and cement raw materials, which was recognized as demonstrating a high level of resource circulation in the ZWTL verification. This achievement, in line with the government's decarbonization policy, is seen by the industry as a significant milestone in the pulp and paper industry's sustainable transformation. Currently, Moorim is investing about KRW 280 billion to expand an eco-friendly recovery boiler that converts black liquor into green energy at its Ulsan plant, and upon completion, the renewable energy production is expected to double and greenhouse gas emissions to be significantly reduced. "This is the result of the global recognition of our eco-friendly technology accumulated over 69 years since our founding," said Moorim CEO Lee Do-kyun. "We will continue to play a leading role in the circular economy." ​

The visitors will then embark on storytelling-based exploration missions, such as flying paper airships to scout planets, collecting shiny pulp ores, and deciphering cryptic letters, to uncover the secrets of the mysterious paper planet. There is also a photo zone where the first lunar rover and NASA space center models are recreated using natural pulp, providing a unique experience that sparks scientific imagination along with exploration. There are also vibrant performances and unique attractions. 'Nicky' the magician transforms into a paper magician and the national paper plan team 'WePlay' transforms into paper plane aeronauts to compete with each other in unique performances. The showdown will be broadcast live via a large media tower on site. In addition, origami YouTuber 'UNCLESQUARE', who has 580,000 subscribers, will appear as an origami technician and demonstrate folding 'paper blade' with the visitors. An official from Moorim, who organized the event, said, "'Paper', which has contained the human hearts and continued life since a very long time ago, is still the simplest and deepest communication tool and 'the beginning'. We hope that visitors will enjoy a creative and enjoyable experience created by familiar paper in 'Moorim Paper Universe', an imaginary world that began with an ordinary sheet of paper," who added, "Paper is more than just a recording medium; it is a material that contains imagination, emotion, and sustainability.

Moorim Becomes the First in the Industry to Win Three Products at the Same Time at the '2025 Korea Star Award…

 Moorim (CEO Lee Do-kyun), an integrated pulp, paper, and new materials company, has demonstrated its top-level technological prowess in the eco-friendly packaging sector by winning three awards at the same time, including the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award, at the '2025 Korea Star Awards' organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. Winning the triple crown is an industry-first achievement and marks a new milestone for Moorim in the eco-friendly packaging market, demonstrating the potential of paper to replace plastic across a range of industries, including food, cosmetics, and gift sets. The product that received the most attention was the 'Neoforet Absorbent Pad', which won the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award. The product, which Moorim jointly entered with Shinsegae Food, is the first eco-friendly alternative to existing plastic materials, such as super absorbent polymer (SAP), polyethylene (PE) film and non-woven fabric, used in moisture-absorbing pads for packaging fresh foods such as meat and seafood, by replacing them with 100% natural pulp. It can be used without concerns about microplastics or harmful ingredients, and it is also sustainable as it can be naturally decomposed after disposal. Its technical perfection also stands out. By applying a different technology based on natural pulp, not only has high moisture absorbency been absorbed with a single sheet of paper, but it has also secured moisture durability that does not tear easily even when met. By adding a coating that prevents rapid moisture absorption, the freshness of high-moisture perishables is stably maintained during distribution, and the deformation such as the absorption pad sticking to the food is prevented in advance. The second winner was 'Neocotton TMB', a joint entry with LG Household & Healthcare, which won the KITECH President's Award. It is the first packaging paper in Korea to be made by upcycling waste clothing, realizing the value of resource recycling, and at the same time, conveying an eco-friendly feel through the cotton fibers that naturally appear on the surface. Its excellent printability and strength make it ideal for high-end cosmetic packaging. In addition, Sajo Daelim's gift set packaging with Moorim's biodegradable 'moohae molded pulp' was selected as an award-winning work in recognition of its innovation in terms of auxiliary material reduction and sustainability, as it replaced plastic trays and non-woven bags with an all-in-one structure.  This triple crown is the culmination of Moorim's continued efforts to develop eco-friendly packaging technology. Moorim has accumulated technological prowess by producing award-winning products every year, starting with 'Neoforet Buffer' in 2021, 'Neoforet FLEX' in 2023, and 'moohae molded pulp cup lid' in 2024. This year, three products were awarded together, further solidifying the company's position as Korea's leading eco-friendly paper company. Meanwhile, Moorim will showcase various eco-friendly packaging products, including the award-winning works, at 'COPHEX 2025', Korea's leading pharmaceutical, bio, cosmetics manufacturing and packaging exhibition held at KINTEX from April 22 to 25. Professional consultants will be stationed at 'Dr. Paper R&D Center', the on-site booth, to provide product experience as well as consultation on customized packaging solutions. In addition, a premium sample book containing 'Neo CCP', 'Neo TMB', 'Neostar Beauty Pack', and 'Neostar MGB', which are classic eco-friendly packaging papers, will be specially created and distributed to provide customers with various product information.
