After 500 attempts, breaking the industry's belief that it was impossible, we earned paper packaging certification.
In 2016, despite the use of recycled plastics and refills, the actual plastic recycling rate was less than 9%.
In such an environment, the most crucial focus was not on recycling, but on reducing the total production of plastic.
Isn't recycling plastic bottles better than using TOUN28's paper packaging?
While our recycling efforts are growing, the reality is that over 90% of plastic is still discarded on Earth. Recycling the 10% of plastic is good, but reducing the production of the remaining 90% is more important. This is because recycling plastic also requires a significant amount of energy.
Did you know that we consume the equivalent of two credit cards' worth of microplastics every month through water and food? Plastic use generates microplastics that cannot be collected, slowly poisoning both our bodies and the planet, much like fine dust.
It’s not too late. With TOUN28, together we can make a difference.

It’s not perfect.
But we will continue walking towards perfection.
We have reduced 92% of plastic usage, but we are still not satisfied.
There are still many areas to improve. We continue to use 4.1g of plastic, but TOUN28 is making bolder efforts through innovative material research and development, constantly taking action to move one step further.
We believe that increasing the number of 'less-plastic' users is a more beneficial path than striving for one perfect zero-waste individual.
