Hansol Paper announced on the 4th that it invited the faculty and students of the packaging department at Michigan State University to its Daejeon factory and established a platform for technology exchange.
The packaging department at Michigan State University is one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the global packaging field, contributing to the development of sustainable packaging technology through collaboration with various corporations.
The faculty and students who participated in the event toured the production process of Hansol Paper's Daejeon factory and heard explanations about the development background and application cases of the company's flagship eco-friendly packaging products, Terabas and Protego. Reports suggest they showed interesting reactions to the process of recycling milk cartons and sterilized packs into paper.
In addition, a seminar was held to share opinions on the latest packaging industry trends, including global regulatory changes and examples of transitioning to paper packaging, as well as to exchange technology and ideas.
Professor Lee Ui-hak from Michigan State University, who planned the seminar, noted, 'As global interest in eco-friendly packaging is increasing, I find it meaningful that we are visiting Hansol Paper, which possesses leading technological capabilities in the Asian market, this year,' adding, 'It has also provided students with a valuable opportunity to directly experience the industry and broaden their academic insights.'
Kim Tae-soo, head of the eco-friendly division of Hansol Paper, said, 'It was meaningful to communicate directly with top-level packaging professionals globally and to share Hansol Paper's technological capabilities and sustainable vision.'
Hansol Paper plans to continue its cooperative relationship with Michigan State University in various fields, including technology exchange, joint research, and personnel exchanges, through online and offline channels.
