To mark its 20th anniversary on November 4, SEALON held a company-wide plogging event at Masian Beach in Incheon under the theme “Let’s Make a Cleaner Ocean,” helping clean the surrounding coastal area.

Plogging is a combination of the Swedish word plocka upp (“to pick up”) and the English word jogging, a trend that spread from Northern Europe and has rapidly gained popularity as a way to care for both health and the environment.

To minimize disposable waste during the event, SEALON rented cleaning tools and supplies rather than purchasing single-use items.

Within the company, SEALON also avoids disposable products and actively runs internal campaigns to reduce paper use—encouraging personal cups and using tablet PCs for meetings instead of printing unnecessary documents.

CEO Cha Jin-seop said, “To continue practicing ESG management, SEALON will consistently carry out internal and external initiatives that protect the environment.”

Founded in 2002, SEALON supplies adhesive films, seam tapes, and deco films to brands worldwide. In line with sustainability trends in the textile and fashion industry, the company develops various eco-friendly products and provides diverse solutions based on 20 years of expertise. SEALON has obtained the bluesign® certification across its manufacturing and supply chain, and produces products certified under OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. The company has also obtained ISO certification for environmental management systems, continuing its efforts to create eco-friendly products while maintaining performance and durability.
