  “An iced americano, please.” “We offer a drink in a reusable cup for environmental protection.” This is what we commonly hear at a café these days. As disposable plastic waste has increased since the COVID-19 outbreak, disposable cups are restricted at stores and are replaced with reusable ones such as mug cups or thermos.

rePAPER once again achieved new certificates, ISO 9001 for Quality Management System and ISO 14001 for Environment Management System! First of all, let’s find out what ISO is and how it works.
