News Release ​

Archem Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and Global CEO: Satoru Kusano; hereinafter referred to as "our company"), a manufacturer and seller of urethane products, has added a new lineup of three-packs to its compressed "Sustainable Sponge" series, which uses palm-derived plant-based materials, making it easy for customers to try out.The new lineup will be available for purchase on Rakuten in addition to Amazon from Friday, August 29, 2025.

■Background of the new lineup addition

Our "Sustainable Sponge" is made from plant-derived materials, yet combines high cleaning power with durability, and has been well received. However, we have also received feedback that customers would like to try it out in small quantities first.
To meet these needs, we have now prepared a package of three that you can easily try out.

■Compression type features

・Compressed packaging with space-saving design for convenient stocking and carrying

The new product is compressed and packaged to a thickness that is approximately one-sixth that of the conventional product, taking up only 5mm of space. It is convenient for stocking and carrying, and also makes a great gift. Another attractive feature is that it returns to the same size as the conventional product after opening, so it feels just as comfortable to use as the conventional product. Until now, it was only available in packs of six, but in order to encourage more customers to try it, we have added a new pack of three to our lineup, making it easier to purchase as a trial.

■Common features of the Sustainable Sponge Series

・In addition to the off-white of the existing product, a new color black/gray has been added.
・Adopting our first palm-derived plant-based material
・Approximately 70 years* of technology have achieved the same usability as petroleum-derived kitchen sponges.
・Size that is conscious of being easy to use for anyone
