Moorim (CEO Lee Do-kyun) participated in the “Kolmar Korea Sustainability Seminar” held by Kolmar Korea (CEO Choi Hyun-gyu), the largest global cosmetics original design manufacturer(ODM), on September 6. At the seminar held at Kolmar Korea R&D Complex, Moorim was selected as a representative eco-friendly new material company along with LG Chemicals, Lotte Chemical, and CJ Cheil Jedang, and had the opportunity to introduce its eco-friendly paper products and pulp materials to more than 250 people from the cosmetics and packaging industries who are preparing for a sustainable future.
At the seminar, Moorim informed the ESG management practices in the paper industry in line with the government’s policy to remove plastics and consumers’ value consumption trends and presented the role of paper as an eco-friendly material. In particular, Moorim actively promoted the eco-friendliness of paper, including the eco-friendly all-pulp board for packaging that is widely used in the cosmetics industry, and the efforts to expand the demand in this market by complementing barrier properties. In addition, Moorim introduced the strengths of paper, such as biodegradability and recyclability, through new materials, including cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and bioplastics, as well as eco-friendly paper and molded pulp products utilizing Korea’s only natural virgin pulp.
Meanwhile, in July 2021, Moorim and Kolmar Korea signed a strategic business MOU on the development of eco-friendly cosmetic packaging materials and raw materials, and jointly developed and applied ‘NeoCCP R30,’ an eco-friendly packaging paper. ‘NeoCCP R30’ is an eco-friendly product that utilizes recycled pulp to maintain existing printability while adding resource recycling value. In addition, Moorim is supplying ‘Neoforet FLEX,’ a flexible packaging paper that can be used for various purposes, such as paper tubes, pouches, and labels, to Kolmar Korea.
Moorim has set up a product promotion zone on-site and provided related souvenirs so that seminar visitors could experience various eco-friendly paper packaging products that can replace plastic materials, including ‘NeoCCP R30,’ ‘Neoforet FLEX,’ and ‘Neoforet Inner Frame,’ an eco-friendly paper frame. In the future, Moorim plans to accelerate the development of sustainable packaging by collaborating with various industries, such as electronics, food, and pharmaceuticals, which are increasingly demanding eco-friendly paper packaging materials due to the spread of ESG management.
