Eco-friendly Paper Cup Telling Naisu:’s Story at E-mart!


 



A 6.5oz paper cup made of rePAPER’s environmentally friendly coated board REPA COAT is now available at E-mart, the biggest retail chain in Korea. In addition, the product uses the identical designs of that of Naisu:, one of rePAPER’s representative products.

In fact, the name Naisu: and its design involve special meanings. The name Naisu: is a homage of the person who showed faith in and support rePAPER’s coating technology since the very beginning. The images of 5 different objects on the product represent the items that can be made with recycled pulp. This also expresses our willingness to create new value by completing resource circulation.

Unlike the conventional paper cups that can hardly be recycled due to the PE(Polyethylene) lining, the products with rePAPER’s aqueous dispersion coatings applied are environment-sound alternatives showing over 97% recyclability in regular repulping process.

This small, inexpensive 6.5oz paper cup can be found everywhere such as banks, hospitals, construction sites, and offices. Yet, it also is the one that gives us some slack for a day with whatever they hold. We hope that it is available at more places delivering the value of sustainability and protection of ecology.
