Problem

Mid-sized E-commerce sellers (annual revenue KRW 1-10 billion, ~$750K-$7.5M) want to switch to eco-friendly packaging due to ESG trends and consumer demand, but domestic suppliers are fragmented and it's difficult to compare pricing, certifications, and MOQs. Evaluation alone takes 2-4 weeks, and costs are 30-80% higher than conventional packaging, making optimal selection critical.

Solution

Input packaging dimensions, volume, and budget → auto-match eco-friendly packaging suppliers (mycelium, paper cushioning, biodegradable film, etc.) → compare price, certifications (FSC, biodegradable), MOQ, and lead time → batch sample requests. Automatic carbon reduction calculation for ESG reports.

Target: Mid-sized E-commerce sellers (annual revenue KRW 1-10 billion, ~$750K-$7.5M), D2C brand operations teams

Revenue Model: Brokerage commission 3-5% of transaction value. Supplier Premium listing at KRW 300,000 (~$225)/month. Free for sellers.

Ecosystem Role: Consumer
