PAPLUS is made of over 99% plant-derived ingredients (general grade). It is an environmentally friendly material made from paper and corn-derived biodegradable resin.
PAPLUS was born from the desire to "create a new material that can replace petroleum-based plastics." PAPLUS is a material in harmony with the Earth. It is a sustainable material made from paper and corn-derived biodegradable resin. It decomposes into water and carbon dioxide in compost or soil. Towards achieving carbon neutrality, PAPLUS products that have completed their lifecycle can be disposed of as burnable waste. The CO2 emissions from raw material to disposal are reduced by approximately 80% compared to petroleum plastics (according to our research). Let's change the everyday practice of buying and throwing away. Unused PAPLUS products will be collected and re-manufactured. The PAPLUS collection scheme creates a new cycle through the participation of everyone who uses PAPLUS products. PAPLUS traceability: PAPLUS widely shares the journey of the cycle. Information such as manufacturing date, type, and quantity collected can be checked on the website. Shall we create a new cycle together?
