November 29, 2022

Korea is one of the few countries where you can enjoy the changes of seasons over time because of its four distinctive seasons. To relish the autumn trees dressed up in gold, the Korea Forest Service publishes a map of the peak autumn leaves at the end of every September for people to go to the so-called ‘Maple Festival’ to appreciate the magnificent view. Although it may vary depending on the region and tree species, the autumn leaves began in late October this year, without fail. Particularly this fall, COVID-19 has subsided to some extent with eased social distancing, many people visited mountains and valleys to see autumn leaves.

[Special Article] Confront Greenwashing 3, Greenwashing in the World of Packaging

November 07, 2022

Greenwashing is deeply intertwined in many areas than we think. Last year, the International Protection and Enforcement Network (ICPEN) found about 40% among 500 websites surveyed were misleading consumers with vague and ambiguous descriptions such as ‘eco’, ‘sustainable’ and ‘natural.’ How about containers and packaging? The purpose of packaging is to protect and preserve the contents of the product. Surely, the design on the packaging attracts consumers by showing the features of the product and exceptional container that is made with exceptional materials directly affects the sales. As we can see, packaging of a product plays a big role in marketing. So, let’s take a look at some greenwashings in the world of packaging. Dilemma of Cosmetics Container We often go to the mall to buy a gift on a special occasion for someone special. Even before you test them, you find yourself mesmerized by the upscale cosmetics with luxurious packaging or containers displayed under the lighting. The

Plastic Straw vs Paper Straw vs Eco-Friendly Paper Straw

The way straw was invented was the same. In 1888, Marvin Chesster Stone enjoyed drinking a cup of whiskey after working all day at a cigarette factory at Washington D.C. One day, he tried using natural ryegrass straw to sip his whiskey since he did not like how the taste of the whiskey changes with the warmth of his hands. However, he was not satisfied with the undesirable grassy flavor from the s
