Ethical Korean Cider Packaging

Lotte Chilsung Beverage is launching its popular 'Chilsung Cider' in new eco-friendly packaging. This swap is the company's response to evolving environmental regulations, which require companies to incorporate at least 10% recycled materials in the production phase of their products. 'Chilsung Cider' utilizes 100% recycled plastic, contributing to an overall reduction of 2,200 tons of waste plastic and reducing carbon emissions by 2,900 tons.

'Chilsung CIder' now features packaging that identifies whether recycled plastic was used, allowing consumers to verify the sustainability of the product when purchasing. This new swap also reduces slippage when holding the bottle, making the consumption experience more comfortable. Recipe-wise, 'Chilsung Cider' comes in its original form and now in a low-sugar and low-calorie format called 'Chilsung Cider Zero.' November 2025 also brought the new 'Chilsung Cider Zero Lime,' which maintains the reduced calorie content while adding a unique flavor profile thanks to the addition of lime juice.
