Starting with the first award in 2014 at KOREA STAR AWARDS, Yonwoo, who has won more than nine products over the past 10 years, has won the main award for the past three consecutive years.
Yonwoo plans to continue to develop eco-friendly products with a concept that can be recycled 100% by implementing the entire container with a single material.
CEO Park Sang-yong said, "The products awarded are eco-friendly technologies of Yonwoo, result of the accumulated technology and design know-how," adding, "We will make more efforts to develop eco-friendly products as a global total packaging company."
At the same time, Yonwoo is recognized for his R&D achievements, with its Eco Dropper and Airless Pump Monotube products winning innovation awards at the Aerosol & Dispensing Forum (ADF), a Paris packaging exhibition in France earlier this year.
