MAMANAS Cooperative (CEO Eui-jin Kwak) participated in the 2021 K-Chemicals Cyber Exhibition. MAMANAS is a social cooperative that began to help the problem of low birth rates in Jeollanam-do based on the belief that philosophy is necessary to give birth and grow children. The MAMANAS Cooperative produces and sells products made with international organic certified cotton fabric such as baby clothing, cotton masks, cotton sanitary pads, and nano-copper antibacterial masks. The products are donated to unmarried mothers and vulnerable groups and contribute to job creation linkage. In addition, sewing training is provided free of charge, and promotional sales are provided through shopping malls and online and offline stores.
The nano-copper antibacterial mask introduced at this exhibition is an eco-friendly mask made of better fabric with proven antibacterial power using functional fabrics made of copper nanoparticles. The 99.9% antibacterial test was completed with an antibacterial mask approved by the U.S. FDA. It is 100% domestically produced and can be hand-washed, so it can be used semi-permanently. It has an elasticity that increases by 1 to 2cm, so you can feel a comfortable fit, and can be comfortably worn for a long time without irritating the ears. Also, it is a functional fashion mask that is good to use daily.
An official from MAMANAS said, "We plan to make, promote, and sell masks that think of the environment, such as organic cotton masks, winter masks, and copper fiber antibacterial masks that can replace disposable masks."
Meanwhile, the 2021 K-Chemicals Cyber Exhibition, an online exhibition in the field of chemistry, opened in March and is always in operation, and currently has 270 chemical-related companies. It supports overseas marketing of domestic companies in a contact-free manner and boasts the largest scale in Korea where you can see various product information of industrial chemicals (paint, adhesive, surfactant, MDI, Polybutene, polyol, catalyst, foaming agent, additives, pipes, living plastics, additives, etc.) and cosmetics (sunblock, lotion, shampoo, face masks, etc.).
The chemical industry is closely linked to major industries such as electronics and automobiles and is especially at the center of the global issue of carbon neutrality. In line with this, the Korea Precision Chemical Industry Promotion Association (KSCIA), the organizer, is helping domestic chemical companies advance overseas through various support such as export, research and analysis, technical standards, HDR support, and international agreements. Based on companies entering online permanent exhibition halls in the chemical sector, it has accumulated more than $136 million in 2021 as of the third quarter and is holding online export consultations with KOTRA in addition to entering the online permanent exhibition hall.
