South Korea’s Lotte Chilsung Beverage Co. is set to start the vegan business along with local startups as veganism, or the practice of abstaining from any animal or animal byproducts, is growing in the country.
Lotte Chilsung said on Monday it was looking for startup partners to develop vegan drinks. The beverage unit of Lotte Group plans to cooperate on new technologies and materials for not only vegan drinks but also overall beverages.
The major beverage maker will provide the startups opportunities for collaboration on research and development, production, logistics and marketing.
