Lotte Chilsung Beverage achieves industry-leading low-carbon certifications

Lotte Chilsung Beverage has achieved the highest number of ‘low-carbon product’ certifications in the industry from the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute (KEITI). As of August 2026, the company holds environmental product declarations for 19 major brand products, with 12 items—including brands such as ‘Icis’ and ‘Cantata’—receiving upgraded low-carbon certification.

A notable achievement includes the first domestic certification for a product made from 100% recycled material: the ‘Chilsung Cider 500ml MR-PET’. This mechanical recycled PET product is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 17% compared to virgin plastic PET throughout its entire lifecycle. In the alcoholic beverage sector, the ‘Chum Churum/Saero 640ml PET’ stands as the only low-carbon product currently meeting industry standards.

To encourage consumer participation, KEITI has designated 10 representative low-carbon products as ‘climate products,’ including certain Chilsung Cider and Cantata varieties. Consumers purchasing these items at participating convenience stores and marts can receive special Green Card eco-money point rewards of up to 40% through October 31. The company is working toward a ‘2040 Carbon Neutrality’ goal, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 10,000 tons this year.
