a sustainable environment and protect the planet
Environment
Product Environmental Impact Management
As a global beauty tech company, APR recognizes managing environmental impacts across the entire product lifecycle—from planning and development to distribution and recovery—as a key management responsibility. We strive to promote efficient resource use throughout the product lifecycle and to establish a circular economy system.
Enhancing Product Energy Efficiency
Advancing Energy Efficiency of Beauty Devices
APR applies eco-friendly design principles across the entire development process of its beauty devices to improve energy efficiency and minimize power consumption.
- ① Designing power management structures to supply electricity only to necessary circuits
- ② Applying standby power reduction technologies
- ③ Incorporating automatic power-off functions
APR considers resource circulation from the product design stage of its beauty devices. To extend product lifespan, we conduct component verification and reliability testing throughout all stages—from product planning and development to mass production.

Establishing a Circular Economy System for Products
Development of Technologies to Extend Product Lifespan
APR considers resource circulation from the product design stage of its beauty devices. To extend product lifespan, we conduct component verification and reliability testing throughout all stages—from product planning and development to mass production.
- ① Enhancing ease of repair through modular design
- ② Ensuring stable component supply, maintaining high quality, and improving resource efficiency through the use of common parts and standardized design
- ③ Applying waterproof structures between components to prevent cosmetic ingress and maintain stable product functionality and performance

Empty Container Collection Program
APR operates the “Empty Container Collection Zero Campaign” to minimize environmental impacts arising from the post-consumption stage of its products. This eco-friendly social contribution initiative collects used containers to reduce unnecessary waste and promote a lifestyle where the environment and skin can coexist.
| Collected Containers | Points Provided to Participants |
|---|---|
| Approx. 87,000units | KRW 26,483,800 |
* Cumulative total as of the end of December 2025
Use of Eco-Friendly Packaging Materials
APR uses paper certified with the FSC mark, sourced from responsibly managed forests, and applies soy-based ink with a high plant-derived content instead of conventional inks that contribute to air pollution. In addition, we use 100% recyclable eco-friendly paper cushioning materials to ensure safe product delivery while protecting the environment.
Launch of Vegan Products Free from Animal-Derived Ingredients
APR’s low-irritation beauty brand, Aprilskin, has launched vegan products for consumers who pursue value-driven consumption. By excluding animal-derived ingredients to support animal welfare, these products have obtained the internationally recognized “EVE VEGAN” certification, which is granted through rigorous verification processes.
Expansion of Eco-Friendly Packaging
APR is prioritizing the use of easy-to-remove (separable) labels* on cosmetic packaging to enhance recyclability, and is making efforts to reduce single-use plastics by incorporating refill pouches in certain product sets. In addition, for some Medicube products, conventional metal-coated caps have been replaced with PP (polypropylene) caps to minimize the environmental impact associated with the metal coating process.
*Separable label: A label designed to be easily removed from the container during the recycling process, thereby improving recycling rates.
