■ "Sustainable Sponge" Product Overview
This is our first product to use a new plant-based material derived from palm trees. 14.4% of the raw materials used to manufacture each product are palm-derived. Palm trees grow by absorbing CO₂ from the air, so this product effectively reduces CO₂ emissions from manufacturing to incineration, contributing to a carbon-neutral society. Furthermore, thanks to our approximately 70 years of technological expertise, this product offers the same usability as regular products, so simply using it will help you lead an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
