Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baemin, said on the 22nd that it will run an eco-friendly promotion for customers who choose not to receive disposable spoons and forks or who order with reusable containers to mark Earth Day (April 22). With prices of disposable items surging amid the Middle East crisis, the aim is not only to cut unnecessary plastic use but also to encourage both consumers and small-business owners to join eco-friendly efforts.
Baemin will offer a 5,000 won discount coupon, usable for food delivery orders, to 3,000 customers selected by lottery who choose the no disposable spoon and fork option and place an order through the 28th. Customers can join the promotion by replying on the in-app event page to the message from Earth (sharing opinions about not receiving disposable spoons and forks) and completing an order while keeping the no spoon and fork option selected.
In addition, through May 5, it plans to offer on a first-come, first-served basis a 7,000 won discount coupon that can be applied immediately to customers who choose reusable containers when ordering food in Seoul, Gyeonggi (Gimpo, Suwon, Yongin), and Jeju.
According to Baemin, the no disposable spoon and fork feature is estimated to have reduced about 10.2 billion pieces of disposable tableware through last year. In particular, measuring the results of this feature under the "disposable product use suppression business methodology," it was found that about 20,000 tons (t) of greenhouse gases were cut in 2025 alone. The cumulative amount of greenhouse gases reduced from 2022 to 2025 comes to 90,000 t.
Kim Jong-un, ESG team leader at Woowa Brothers, said, "We launched this promotion to put environmental protection into practice in everyday life for Earth Day," adding, "We will continue to work to spread an eco-friendly delivery culture."
