APP Group has officially entered South Korea’s paper packaging industry to address the rising demand for sustainable solutions. According to Statista, the sales value of eco-friendly products in South Korea reached approximately 4.76 trillion South Korean won in 2023 and continues to show promising growth. Through its flagship product, Foopak Bio Natura, APP Group aims to cater to this growing need for environmentally conscious packaging options in the region.
Paper packaging serves diverse purposes, such as protecting, preserving, transporting, and marketing products. Its biodegradable and renewable nature has made it an increasingly popular choice among South Korean consumers, many of whom are willing to pay a premium for sustainable alternatives.
By introducing Foopak Bio Natura to South Korea, APP Group aligns itself with the country’s ambitious goal to reduce plastic waste by 50%. Foopak Bio Natura is a versatile, compostable, and food-safe paper packaging solution designed for various sectors, including food service and retail. The product guarantees safety with no chemical migration into food or beverages, earning certifications from the FDA, ISEGA, ISO, PEFC, and SVLK.
This innovative packaging solution allows businesses to achieve sustainability targets without compromising quality. “We are excited to bring Foopak Bio Natura to South Korea’s vibrant market,” stated Gavin Gunawan, Regional Sales Head, Far East Asia. “As both businesses and consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability, APP Group is proud to offer innovative packaging solutions that align with these values and contribute to a more sustainable future.”
