Even in Korea, where huge amounts of plastic are used every year, we can realize the change. Since last summer, coffee shops have been serving coffee in mugs instead of disposable containers. You can also see paper straws that replace plastic straws or multi-use stainless steel straws. Starbucks Korea offers eco-friendly paper straws at all stores nationwide from the 26th. Not long ago, there was news that McDonald's in China was stopping providing plastic straws. Also, voices calling for changing all food wrappers to eco-friendly ones are gaining strength. Foods that fill the shelves of large marts are usually made of materials that harm the environment, such as plastic, vinyl film, and paper. It rarely breaks down even when buried in the ground, and it makes the Earth sick. The "2019 Food Trend" recently released by Hall Food, the largest eco-friendly food distributor in the U.S., also said, "The packaging of eco-friendly materials will become a trend." Many c...

The "ethical consumption" trend is also spreading in the food industry. It's not just eating and drinking. Consumers are also choosing more eco-friendly products for food packaging. Inova Market Insight and Mintel, global food and beverage market research firms, cited eco-friendly packages as one of the 2019 food and beverage trends. More sustainably, the use of environmentally-produced packaging containers minimizes environmental pollution, restores soil health, and emphasizes ecological circulation. "In the past, carbon dioxide emissions have been emphasized in packaging, but biodegradability and soil decomposition have been emphasized in the past two to three years," said Choi Jeong-Kwan, CEO of Inobamaket Insight Korea office. The global food industry is already in the midst of a zero-plastic movement. In October last year, the EU passed a bill banning the use of several disposable plastics from 2021 to cotton swabs, plastic straws, and forks. With European ...

These days, we do self-quarantine and do a lot of internet shopping instead of going outside. Use apps like Amazon, eBay, Taobao, and Coupang to buy and ship things home. Of course, this is a really good alternative. Internet shopping, which has the advantage of living in a global disaster such as a disaster movie, not meeting people as much as possible, not having a conversation, and being able to get necessary things so easily, has saved many people. But if the goods are delivered to my house like this, the goods come in the box. When you open the box, there is a supplement. Of course, I understand. I put it in to deliver the goods safely, but sometimes I think it's too much. I once delivered Clam chowder soup from the United States. But each of the five came from different boxes with supplements that were at least five times larger than their own size. In China, they ordered 10 flower pots (really small ones). It was delivered to our school in huge styrofoam. I thought I was goi...

   Have you ever heard of carbon footprints? They say that we can measure the impact of living on the Earth on the environment through carbon footprint. Let me tell you today about the steps related to the environment, from environmental footprint to water footprint to ecological footprint. Types of Environmental Footprint Carbon footprint A carbon footprint means the total amount of greenhouse gases generated directly or indirectly by individuals or organizations! The total amount of greenhouse gases includes all the fuel and electricity we commonly use in our daily lives. A carbon footprint is a concept in kg that was created to reduce emissions by tracking where carbon dioxide is emitted a lot. It also connects to the number of trees we need to plant. Wouldn't it be better to save energy to reduce carbon footprint? ​A  water footprint Water footprint refers to the total amount of water used during the entire process of unit product and unit service producti...

At a price of self-price, countless kinds of garbage pour out during quarantine. The way to throw away the garbage is different from country to city, thinking about the environment a little more. So what I'm going to say today is why we have to recycle 1. Separated garbage can be recycled again, saving resources. 2. I only throw away the garbage that I can't recycle, so there's less trash. 3. For example, recycling cans by separating them costs less than making new cans, which saves money. 4. Non-corrosive garbage such as plastic bottles and glass bottles can be separated and collected, thus making the environment clean. 5. Resource utilization increases by distinguishing between recycled items and non-recycling and incineration materials. : Iron, aluminum, glass bottles, pet bottles, paper, etc. 6. It is economical because it can reduce the cost of incineration or landfill. Reduced power costs and improved incineration efficiency by reducing the amount of time spent on inc...
