[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Smart Cara, an eco-friendly food waste disposer brand, announced on the 19th that it has expanded its export routes this year to Canada, the Philippines, and other countries, achieving entry into a total of 15 countries.
Despite the global recession caused by COVID-19, Smart Cara expanded its exports to Vietnam and signed new export contracts with Canada and the Philippines this year. In 2020, it significantly increased export volumes to 12 countries including Germany, the UK, Australia, and Singapore, achieving a 188% increase in export value compared to the previous year.
In Canada, the recent increase in regions banning the use of disposers (sink-attached food waste grinders) due to environmental pollution issues has led to a rise in demand for standalone food waste disposers, which was a key factor in opening new sales channels. In Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, food waste disposers are recognized as premium products that conveniently solve the difficulties of food waste disposal caused by the year-round hot and humid climate, leading to a surge in interest.
Smart Cara plans to continue active exports to the European market, where an eco-friendly home appliance trend is emerging due to recent abnormal weather, emphasizing sustainability through food waste reduction. It also plans to continuously expand export routes and prove the competitiveness of Korean-made food waste disposers in overseas markets.
Smart Cara is an eco-friendly food waste disposer specialist company where all processes from product research, development, production, to A/S are conducted domestically in a one-stop system. It systematically researches from design and delicately develops every component, leading all manufacturing processes directly. Based on the production line infused with 50 years of manufacturing know-how from its parent company SPG, it produces the best products.
A Smart Cara official stated, “Korea is known as the world’s 3rd and Asia’s 1st recycling nation, recognized for its efforts and dedication to eco-friendliness,” adding, “Smart Cara will lead the global market as an eco-friendly food waste disposer and widely promote the technology and eco-friendly value of Korean-made food waste disposers.”
Meanwhile, Smart Cara is actively exporting to 15 countries including the UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Canada, Australia, Dubai, and Russia.
