Sustainable business cards made from eggshells
Approximately 250,000 tons of eggshells are generated each year and are disposed of as industrial waste by incineration or landfill.
By effectively using the eggshells as a resource, we can reduce the amount of eggshell waste and reduce CO2 emitted during transportation and incineration.
Furthermore, it is an environmentally friendly FSC certified paper that reduces the consumption of trees used to make pulp.
Banana paper “Certificate”
The certificates given to employees are made from FSC-certified paper made by adding FSC-certified pulp at Japanese washi factories to the fibers of banana stems, which would normally be thrown away.
By using this banana paper, we aim to achieve the SDGs from a variety of perspectives, including the effective use of waste, the protection of wild animals and forests, solving poverty issues in Zambia, and supporting the education of women and children. You can contribute to
