K-Ver Co., Ltd. is a startup specializing in eco-friendly biodegradable bio-materials, headquartered in Wonju, Gangwon-do. By upcycling organic by-products such as coffee grounds, the company develops and produces eco-friendly plastic materials and consumer goods that can be completely decomposed in ordinary natural soil.

"An eco-friendly company aiming to lead the innovation of consumption values for the coexistence of nature and humanity."

Business Areas

• Development of Biodegradable Bio-plastic Compounds: We research, formulate, and manufacture high-performance biodegradable composite materials that naturally decompose in ordinary soil without the need for separate special composting facilities, utilizing organic resources such as coffee grounds. We supply raw materials that can replace existing petroleum-based plastics and conventional PLA materials that require demanding environmental conditions.
• Manufacturing of Eco-friendly Disposable and Household Goods: Applying our self-developed biodegradable materials, we produce disposable household goods such as eco-friendly straws and cutlery (forks, spoons, knives). We supply eco-friendly alternative consumer goods that do not deform even during long-term use due to their excellent durability and moldability.

Products

• Biodegradable Coffee Ground Straws: Eco-friendly straws made by upcycling discarded coffee grounds; they do not easily soften or become soggy during use. After use, when buried in a general natural environment, they leave no microplastics and can be completely decomposed and composted in a short period.
• Eco-friendly Bio-plastic Pellet Raw Materials: Biodegradable bio-composite raw materials in pellet form that can be immediately fed into extrusion and injection molding processes. Based on excellent processability and eco-friendly degradability, they are used in the production of various plastic molded products.

Special Notes

• Core technology for natural decomposition in ordinary soil and upcycling: We possess technology that overcomes the limitations of existing biodegradable plastics, which require specific high-temperature conditions, and enables rapid decomposition in ordinary soil. By recycling organic by-products, we realize both cost competitiveness and eco-friendly value.
• Technology verification and achievements in attracting government support: We are externally recognized for our excellent technology and business viability through selection for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' TIPS program, certification as an innovative growth-type venture company, and selection for eco-startup support projects.

Recruitment Information

• Main Hiring Positions: Production and process operator, raw material mixing and compounding management, product quality inspection
• Benefits: Four major social insurance programs, severance pay

💡 A Word from JOBPLOY
K-Ver Co., Ltd. is a promising technology startup that manufactures eco-friendly biodegradable plastic products using organic by-products. As the work on the factory floor mainly involves raw material input, operation of extrusion/injection molding machines, and product packaging and inspection, it is important to follow safety rules during machine operation and maintain meticulous quality control. Given the nature of an early-stage manufacturing company, a diligent attitude toward following basic work rules and maintaining smooth communication with colleagues on-site is recommended.
