100% recyclable package made with eco-friendly and FSC-certified materials to proactively meet evolving global environmental regulations Patent design provides a 30% increase in load capacity and an up to 52% reduction in transportation costs This initiative is part of Seegene’s efforts to respond to climate change and realize a "world free from all diseases"

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Seegene Inc. (KQ096530), a leading South Korean company providing a total solution for PCR molecular diagnostics, announced that it has successfully developed 100% recyclable packaging for its diagnostic kits to reduce waste and preemptively meet evolving global environmental policies. This initiative is part of Seegene’s ongoing commitment to good environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG).

Seegene’s eco-friendly shipping box

Seegene’s eco-friendly shipping box is composed of 12-paper layers, biodegradable films, recycled PET packaging, a vacuum insulation panel, dry ice, and ice packs. The materials are either 100% renewable or certified as "green" via organizations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Ministry of Environment in Korea.

Each of Seegene’s eco-friendly shipping box can hold up to 24 kits –– 30% more than the existing Styrofoam packaging allows. The increased loading capacity allows the company to reduce transportation costs by up to 52%. Most importantly for product transportation, the box can maintain the necessary temperature (below 4°C) for 140 hours, which is 15% longer than the existing box.

To perfect the quality of the packaging, Seegene’s eco-friendly shipping box went through seven performance tests under the procedures of the International Safe Transport Association (ISTA) 7D. It also passed the performance test of an accredited testing agency designated by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS).  

Seegene filed its eco-friendly shipping box for domestic patent in November 2022, and filed an international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) on October 13. 

"With enhanced global environmental regulations, it is not an option but a must for companies to use eco-friendly materials," said Kim Sang-gyon, team manager of Seegene’s logistics operation team. "To overcome this challenge, we developed an eco-friendly shipping box last year to deliver our products oversees in the best possible condition. It’s 100% recyclable and more efficient than the conventional Styrofoam shipping boxes. Initial customer feedback has been very positive."

Recently, governments worldwide have signed environmental regulations into law, including the European Union (EU) and the United States, which call for strengthened management of environmental protection in line with the Supply Chain Act. Last October, the EU announced Proposal Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR) to specifically limit the use of materials that contribute to pollution such as Styrofoam.

"In order to realize a ‘world free from all diseases’ that Seegene pursues, everyone must be committed to preserving the ecosystem and preventing climate change by protecting our environment," said the company official. "We will continue to carry out eco-friendly activities in line with our ESG philosophy, which reflects a social consensus."

They were joined by prominent figures including the Chair of the China Area of the Singapore National Travel Association, the Ambassador of Colombia to Singapore, scholars from the Singapore Zheng He Society, and Singapore National University, as well as renowned cultural figures and media reporters.

This event brought together various cultures and fostered closer ties, as the "Floral Whisper along the Silk Road" journey unveiled its vibrant colors in the renowned "Garden City." From October 12 to 20, the City Alliance for Maritime Silk Road Heritage Conservation and World Heritage Nomination , led by Guangzhou, embarked on a nine-day cultural journey across Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.

BERLIN, Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Value-added tax (VAT) is one of the trickier taxation hurdles e-commerce and online sellers come up against while growing their business internationally. To alleviate the burden and help deal with the confusion of this system, VAT Ai (www.vatai.com) has been launched. VAT Ai is a cutting-edge VAT compliance SaaS software developed by industry experts and IT specialists to simplify the complexities of VAT regulations for business owners. This new platform reduces the workload for enterprises, improves efficiency, and lowers operating costs through systematization.

Andreas Blass, Account Executive at VAT Ai, underscored the platform’s innovative approach in the realm of VAT compliance, emphasizing the crucial role of human expertise in guaranteeing a smooth and precise VAT filing process. "The advent of ChatGPT has ignited significant advancements in the field of artificial intelligence. However, the role of humans remains indispensable in VAT compliance," said Andreas. "What makes VAT Ai so innovative is how it combines human expertise with AI. We harness the professional experience of local experts to streamline VAT compliance. Originally, tasks that required 3-5 days of manual processing can now be efficiently and accurately completed in just 3-5 minutes with the help of AI technology."

A VAT is a consumption tax applied to goods and services at each stage of the supply chain. The final consumer is ultimately liable for the VAT during their purchase, but businesses are required to collect the tax from their customers and remit it to the local government. Online retailers who sell goods or services to customers in other countries are required to register for VAT in those countries and obtain a VAT number. This is to ensure that they fully comply with the country’s VAT regulations. 

Seeing a pain point in the international VAT system for e-commerce sellers, VAT Ai was developed to help serve professionals confused about the complexities of local VAT laws in different regions of the world. Partnering with local tax professionals with region-specific knowledge bases, VAT Ai enables a clear understanding of disparate VAT regulations. Thanks to this on-the-ground understanding and intelligent software, companies outside of the region or country they conduct business in are compliant with local VAT laws through VAT Ai’s help with VAT registration and VAT filings.

VAT law knowledge is essential when working in international e-commerce. Avoidance or ignorance of local VAT laws can lead to the shutdown of an online store or the requirement of penalty payments. When utilizing VAT Ai’s VAT registration, companies can navigate these complex laws through VAT Ai’s assistance in tracking the registration threshold to determine taxation and calculating taxation according to a country’s specific tax rates. VAT Ai also provides insight into local exceptions in VAT law as well as reminds businesses of deadlines and how to prepare for new policies in advance.

In essence, businesses no longer have to worry about understanding VAT laws, because VAT Ai does the worrying for them. The one-stop platform guides businesses from their VAT registration through the filing of their VAT returns. This automatization improves businesses’ productivity and frees up owners and managers so that they can focus on core business activities.
