How rePAPER Celebrated Its 7th Foundation Day


July is a special month to rePAPER, an environment-friendly paper coating solution company, for it is when we made the very first step toward the environmentally friendly packaging industry. rePAPER has been aiming to replace conventional plastic-coated packaging, which disturbs the world’s environment and ecosystem, to recyclable and compostable paper-based packaging. Although we wished to have a proper ceremony with all the REPA members gathered, it did not seem to be appropriate considering the current COVID situation that we decided to celebrate the day from where we normally belong.

 


rePAPER held a small event titled ‘Making an Acrostic Poem’ with the name of representative for our environment-friendly coating line-ups, RP200. As a gift certificate was promised, every member was trying to come up with the most creative poem until the very last minute. Finally, Mr. Yoon announced the honored winner, who turned out to be Mr. Park from the marketing team. He said Mr. Park’s poem was more eye-catching because of his witty phrases and loyalty shown in the work. Mr. Yoon also chose Ms. Jeon from a management support team as a second winner.

 


Other than the event, rePAPER also shared a small dehumidifier that helps us go through this humid monsoon season and coupons for hamburgers with everyone.

 

On the day, Mr. Yoon delivered a message that “It has been pleasing to witness rePAPER’s growth for 7 years now ever since we introduced a novel alternative to the polluted world.” He then encouraged everyone to take up more creative courage to help rePAPER root its genuineness and business value.

 

Even during this pandemic which has been lengthened more than we wished and expected, rePAPER and REPA members have been continuously moving forward. rePAPER is working to ensure internal stability, preparing ourselves to be fully ready on the day when every country needs rePAPER’s environment-friendly packaging. This must be the reason rePAPER’s future looks so bright in the following years, too. For the clear sky and fresh air without find dust, a beautifully clean ocean and every organism breathing under it, rePAPER will restlessly work for the better tomorrow.
