The Problem 

We Aim to Solve

Daily use of plastic cups in Korea:
8 million +

 Plastic recycling rate:
22%
*Source: Greenpeace Plastic Report

In Korea, approximately 8 million disposable plastic cups are used every day.
Only 22% of these are recycled, while the rest are buried or incinerated
—releasing carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

Plastic pollution doesn’t just harm
the environment.
 At this very moment, microplastics are spreading into our air, water, 
and even onto our dining tables.
Moreover, many biodegradable products end up being incinerated due to the lack of proper processing facilities.


At OAFE, we believe it is our responsibility not to turn away from this problem.

OAFE IDENTITY

We are the People
who build circularity.

Our mission goes beyond the slogan of reducing plastic — we develop practical, achievable alternatives.

01

Turning Technology
into Reality
From the earliest stages of development, we design sustainable materials that consider real-world production, distribution, and biodegradability.
02

Designing for 
Real-World Application
Our work goes beyond simple biodegradation — we plan and design the infrastructure and environmental conditions necessary for materials to truly decompose.
03

Communicating in the
Consumer’s Language

We transform complex technologies into clear, relatable content that drives understanding, empathy, and trust.
04

Bringing ESG to
Life Through Design
We view ESG not as a metric but as a guiding philosophy, expressed through design across every aspect of our products and organizational culture.
