Kakao hosts a paper pack idea contest for the World Environment Day campaign
Jun 25, 2025
Kakao will start accepting paper pack idea contests in earnest from the 23rd.
Kakao's Impact Commerce Kakao Makers held a 'Reborn Paper Pack: New (紙)' contest to suggest ideas on how to use paper packs on the occasion of World Environment Day on the 5th. As part of the New Garburch Project, which uses used items as new products for new purposes, it was designed with the aim of increasing social understanding and interest in resource circulation.
Kakao Makers will start the contest on the 23rd to provide participants with an idea collection period of about three weeks after the competition opens. The recruitment will be conducted by dividing the idea of new use of paper packs into the design and content sectors. The design division contests practical and creative product ideas and designs using paper, and the content division contests image or video content that informs the value of recycled paper packs. The total prize money is 21 million won, and the grand prize winner will be awarded 5 million won along with a commendation from the Minister of Environment.
The winning design will be given an opportunity to be sold on Kakao Makers, and the content can be used in official promotional videos on the collection of paper packs. Anyone interested in the new application can participate individually or as a team of three or fewer people, and the application will be held from June 23 to August 22 at 5 p.m.
Kwon Dae-yeol, Chairman of the ESG Committee of the CA Council of Kakao, said "We expect that the fresh imagination and practical ideas of the participants will show new possibilities for resource circulation."We will continue our resource circulation activities with users and continue our efforts to expand our interest in the environment."."
Meanwhile, Kakao is working with the Ministry of Environment to increase the paper pack recovery rate and recycle it into high value-added paper. On the 15th of last month, major private partners, including Environment Minister Kim Wan-seop and Kakao's external cooperation leader Woo Young-kyu, held an agreement ceremony at Hansol Paper's Daejeon plant in Daedeok-gu, Daejeon, and agreed to establish a collection system that easily collects paper packs through the Kakao Makers platform. Kakao Makers will produce sketchbooks for children by recycling the collected paper packs as well as operation and promotion to receive applications for paper pack collection. The product aims to complete production later this year and donate it to children.
