The company upcycled waste generated by the relocation of its Kansai office to develop 3 products: a raised-dot braille embosser for business cards, recycled-paper leisure sheets, and seed-paper ornaments.
The company developed 3 products using waste generated by the relocation of its Kansai office. “ten・ten,” a raised-dot braille embosser for business cards, was manufactured in a quantity of 1,000 using 1,000 unwanted helmets and clear files, with the shortfall made up using recycled PP pellets. The recycled-paper leisure sheets were made from wastepaper and used books, with 1,400 produced. The seed-paper ornaments are paper products made by mixing flower seeds into wastepaper, with 1,200 produced.
The company also highlights that its environmentally conscious office relocation project, including Grand Green Osaka, simultaneously obtained LEED-ND Plan certification and preliminary SITES certification. It plans to expand opportunities to experience resource circulation through the use of the products, hold braille workshops, and promote interaction with parties outside the company.
The parties involved say they will continue promoting “circular experience value” and initiatives that regenerate waste materials into new value.
