Public Home Shopping Promotes Separate Disposal of Delivery Boxes and Green Office Campaign

New Direct Delivery Boxes with Separate Disposal Instructions Produced

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Gongyoung Home Shopping is actively promoting the "Proper Separation and Disposal of Delivery Boxes" and the "Green Office Movement." Starting from the 21st, Gongyoung Home Shopping announced that it will produce and use new delivery boxes printed with separation and disposal instructions. The delivery boxes will have the message "Please remove tape and shipping labels from paper boxes before folding and disposing" printed prominently on the front. This box will be applied 100% to Gongyoung Shopping's direct delivery products.

Earlier, on the 9th, Gongyoung Home Shopping signed a "Voluntary Agreement for the Activation of Proper Separation and Disposal of Transport Packaging Materials" together with the Ministry of Environment and the distribution industry. The agreement was established to promote the recycling of transport packaging materials such as delivery paper boxes, which have surged due to the increase in e-commerce purchases influenced by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

In addition to producing new direct delivery boxes, Gongyoung Home Shopping will also request partner companies to include the same message on packaging materials during delivery and plans to send text messages guiding the separation and disposal of delivery boxes through its delivery partner CJ Logistics.

Furthermore, Gongyoung Home Shopping plans to carry out the "Green Office Environmental Practice Movement." At a time when environmental issues are continuously raised, this movement aims to establish a culture of resource saving and eco-friendly consumption. It includes practical actions such as ▲reducing disposable products ▲recycling office supplies ▲reducing the consumption of copy paper ▲practicing proper waste separation.

A Gongyoung Home Shopping official stated, "All employees will participate in addressing the environmental issues that can no longer be postponed and will create a culture of recycling and upcycling in daily life."
