Yonwoo actively develops Eco-friendly products that drive the circular economy for plastics – one that is environmentally conscious and sustainable.
Threat of Plastic Pollution
Tons of plastic are produced in the world, and some has been recycled or incinerated. Most, however, ends up dumped in nature or buried in the ground. This plastic poses a significant threat to the environment. Eventually microplastics (from degraded plastics or from microbeads) flows throughout the world and is harmful to our oceans and lakes and endangers aquatic life.
Plastic and Carbon Emissions
Carbon emissions associated with plastic are a widely recognized problem. With carbon emissions at every stage from production to disposal, the carbon footprint of plastic threatens the global environment. We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions and facilitating a healthier future.
Plastic Circular Economy
For a true circular economy, we must redefine and champion the system to ‘production-waste-recycle’. Since plastic pollution is a huge problem, constant strategic thinking is required beyond the horizon of immediate problems.
Under the “Recycle, Refill, Reduce” mission, Yonwoo will continue to lead towards sustainability in packaging.
Additionally, Yonwoo actively participates in the efforts to overcome the climate crisis through many activities for reducing carbon emissions.
