"Eco-Friendly Packaging Innovation, Proven by Numbers" — REVATION Creates 240 Million KRW in Social Value
REVATION Inc., a provider of eco-friendly packaging solutions (CEO: Minseong Lee), generated approximately 240 million KRW in social value during the year 2024. This achievement was recognized through the company’s participation in the “2025 Social Progress Credit (SPC)” program, jointly organized by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and SK Group to promote social value creation and ensure stable growth for participating companies. REVATION is a startup offering sustainable packaging solutions using biodegradable materials and recycled resources. It focuses on addressing environmental and community issues through ESG-based product and process innovation. By developing paper-molded packaging and bioplastic products, the company has established a business model that replaces conventional plastic packaging while pursuing both environmental and commercial value. According to the SPC report published by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Center for Social Value Enhancement Studies, REVATION made notable contributions in reducing environmental pollution and conserving resources. The monetary value of these contributions was assessed at approximately 240 million KRW. This result stands out when compared with other participating organizations.The total social value created by 14 SPC-participating companies in 2024 was around 2.7 billion KRW, of which environmental contributions amounted to only 20 million KRW—just 0.9% of the total. In contrast, REVATION alone generated social value worth 240 million KRW, about 12 times the environmental contribution of all participants combined. This highlights the company’s tangible impact not only in carbon reduction but also in waste substitution and establishing a resource-circulating model based on regional cooperation. According to the CES Impact Report, REVATION also recorded a Social Value (SV) revenue ratio approximately 1.5 times higher than the average among social enterprises with similar revenue. A REVATION representative stated, “This was a reaffirmation that creating social value is a key driver of our company’s growth,” and added, “We will continue to proactively respond to global climate and environmental challenges through eco-friendly packaging transition solutions.” Meanwhile, the Seoul Metropolitan Government signed an MOU with SK Group in 2023 to promote inclusivity and social value, launching the SPC initiative for about 30 social economy enterprises between 2025 and 2027. The Seoul Social Economy Center manages the project, and participating companies receive annual incentives proportional to their measured social value. REVATION plans to strategically leverage these values in future investment, customer engagement, and public sector projects. https://www.bizwnews.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=107844

Revation Strengthens Its Position as a Leading Sustainable Packaging Company with Selection for Ministry of Environment Support Programs
Revation, a Leading Sustainable Packaging Company, Selected for Key Government Support Programs by the Ministry of Environment Revation, a company specializing in eco-friendly packaging, has been selected for two major support programs led by South Korea’s Ministry of Environment in 2025, establishing a solid foothold for business expansion. The company was chosen for both the Eco Startup Support Program and the Upcycling Industry Development Program. These two initiatives are centered on the core objective of reducing plastic use in daily life. Leveraging its proprietary eco-friendly material technologies and manufacturing expertise, Revation is expanding its product portfolio across various industries including consumer goods, food and beverage, beauty, and distribution packaging. Through these efforts, the company is actively strengthening its collaborations with a growing number of B2B clients.With this support, Revation plans to further enhance its technologies and apply its sustainable packaging solutions to new product categories and business areas previously untapped. This marks a significant step forward in the company’s strategy to broaden both its market presence and service scope.Revation has a proven track record in similar programs. In the previous year, the company successfully completed two projects under the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute: the Green Youth Startup Spring Camp and the Global Green Product Supply Chain Support Program. These achievements led to the company being designated as a preliminary social enterprise by the Ministry of Environment and receiving the Minister’s Award—demonstrating both its technological capabilities and business potential.This latest government recognition is expected to accelerate the commercialization of Revation’s plastic alternative packaging solutions. A company representative stated, “We are committed to delivering sustainable packaging solutions tailored to the needs of diverse clients, and we are actively preparing for expansion into not only the domestic market but also global markets.” http://www.kdpress.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=138360

Paper Packaging Replaces Plastic — Captivates European Market
Min Sung Lee, CEO of REVATIONCreative packaging using wood-based materialsStrong durability with low carbon emissionsEuropean lifestyle and luxury brands show strong interest "Plastic packaging regulations are now being enforced in developed markets like Europe starting this year. We aim to provide small and medium-sized businesses with a one-stop solution for plastic-free packaging."Min Sung Lee, CEO of REVATION, a startup that has developed a one-stop manufacturing solution for carbon neutrality, shared this in an interview with Maeil Business Newspaper on the 11th.REVATION not only offers customizable sustainable packaging for clients but also developed a program called RESTUDIO, which calculates and visualizes the carbon reduction effect of each package. The official version of RESTUDIO is scheduled for launch in June. A specialist in CMF (Color, Material, Finish), Lee spent over a decade researching packaging design at a major cosmetics company before founding REVATION in 2021 after recognizing the business potential of low-carbon packaging. REVATION’s strength lies in its high-precision, luxury-quality paper mold technology. For example, the company produced a paper-based case for Nostalgia, a high-end Hanok-style hotel brand's Bukchon Makgeolli, that can withstand a load of 1.3 kg despite being made of paper. The company has also successfully developed paper-based packaging for reusable eyeglass cases and even high-end medical device packaging, which demands both hygiene and structural strength.Last year, Lee designed a luxury package for the premium ginseng brand UNGSAM, becoming the first Korean to win the prestigious Avant-Garde Design Award at PCD—a major international packaging competition. The design, inspired by mountains where the ginseng was grown, featured a sculptural paper mold and rich visual cues evoking the ginseng’s intensity—earning comparisons to miniature art pieces.At PCD Paris, the world’s largest packaging design exhibition held this past January, major global brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and P&G showed strong interest in REVATION's products. This interest opened doors for international business expansion in France (Grenoble) and Canada. Lee stated, "We provide consulting and execution for reducing plastic usage by replacing conventional plastics with materials like paper, wood, and bioplastics such as limestone blends. REVATION owns over 20 patents and is composed of a team of experts in materials and product development." Let me know if you’d like a shorter version for a press release or social media.
