REVATION's RESTUDIO, LESS PLASTIC SOLUTION

REVATION operates “RESTUDIO,” a one-stop development service for eco-friendly packaging. Designed for clients considering the introduction of sustainable packaging, RESTUDIO provides a comprehensive solution encompassing strategic opportunities, design, eco-friendly material development and curation, product manufacturing, and inventory management.

Through this service, clients can reduce workflow stages and development losses, shorten timelines, and significantly lower product development costs. It also enables exceptional product design development, compliance with international regulations through product carbon calculations, and sustainable product lifecycle management through reliable production.

REVATION is continuously developing new materials and eco-friendly solutions, growing in collaboration with various large corporations. The company aims to transform the packaging industry while expanding into diverse sectors such as cosmetics, household goods, electronics, and entertainment.

The Shift to Eco-Friendly Packaging is a Global Trend

Global companies have set concrete goals for sustainability, including specific guidelines for carbon reduction and plastic usage reduction. For example, L’Oréal aims to produce 100% refillable, recyclable, or compostable products by 2025, while Unilever plans to reduce plastic usage by one-third by 2030.

Considering global agreements, the rise of value consumption, and government regulations, the shift toward eco-friendly packaging in the market is essential. Since early this year, REVATION has been actively pursuing international exhibitions and business contracts, marking its first steps into global markets through collaborations with major Japanese corporations. The company is also in discussions with global firms like LVMH and Shiseido for product development.

REVATION has received recognition in international markets, including winning the 2024 PCD Avant-Garde Design Award as the first Korean company, the 2023-2024 Red Dot Award, and the 2024 Pentawards Sustainable Package Award.

Growing as a Leading Climate Tech Company in Korea

REVATION utilizes a CMF (Color, Material, Finish) R&D system to provide various materials through waste resource utilization processes and material blending technologies, enabling the development of high-quality products. The company's eco-friendly materials and design differentiation strategies have garnered significant attention and affection from many planners and designers.

Moreover, REVATION currently possesses the processes and development capabilities typical of large corporations. It has developed a one-stop development solution capability that includes material R&D, product consulting, design creation, production, and delivery, allowing for the development of high-quality products comparable to those of major corporations.

REVATION is rapidly growing as a representative climate tech and clean tech company in Korea, playing a pivotal role in the transition to a plastic-free society. Its ultimate goal is to convert all plastic packaging to eco-friendly materials and practice carbon neutrality.
