Archem 's plant-derived
attempt

In order to realize the "building of a circular economy," which is one of the environmental materialities of the ESG policy formulated in 2023,
We are promoting the development of plant-derived products. This page introduces the current status of our efforts.

Development of palm-derived plant-based materials

In June 2024, we developed a plant-based material derived from palm trees and launched the kitchen sponge "Sustainable Sponge" and the mattress "D-Sleep® Eco," which utilize this material.

Material Features

  • During manufacturing, a new palm-derived polyol is blended with petroleum-derived polyol
    Substantial CO from production to incineration 2 Reduce emissions and contribute to a carbon-neutral society
  • Approximately 70 years of technical expertise * provides a usability comparable to petroleum-based products

* The company began manufacturing and selling mattresses in 1952 as part of its predecessor, Bridgestone Corporation's chemical products solutions business.

  • 3. Keep the sponge itself clean

    It contains an antibacterial agent and is also "membrane-removing processed" to remove membranes that obstruct the passage of air and water, resulting in high water drainage and breathability.

    Sustainable Sponge
  • 4. Easy-to-use size

    It is a little small, measuring 65mm wide, 110mm long, and 30mm thick, making it easy for anyone to use.

  • 2. Supports a good night's sleep

    Utilizing our years of experience in the urethane business, we have fine-tuned the density, elasticity, and firmness of the mattress. The wave-shaped structure provides excellent pressure dispersion, providing balanced support for the body. Furthermore, the high-resilience, high-hardness design ensures just the right amount of sinking and cushioning.
