"LIMEX Sheet", which is mainly made of limestone, is used in the pamphlet of Hinatazaka46's documentary film "Kibou to Zetsubou".

-Environmentally friendly pamphlet with excellent durability and water resistance that protects water and forest resources-

TBM Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Nobuyoshi Yamasaki; hereinafter "TBM") has adopted LIMEX Sheet 80μm for the theater pamphlet of the documentary film "Hope and Despair: Nobody Knows Its Tears" by Hinatazaka 46, now showing nationwide.

Compared to paper, LIMEX Sheet requires approximately 97% less water resources during production, and since wood pulp is not used as a raw material, it can contribute to the conservation of natural resources that are at risk of depletion. In addition, TBM's first factory Shiroishi (Shiroishi, Miyagi Prefecture) and second factory Tagajo (Tagajo, Miyagi Prefecture), which manufacture LIMEX Sheet, use virtually "100% renewable energy" and electricity with "zero _{CO2 emission} factor," thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions including _CO2 throughout the product life cycle. This is a great opportunity for us as an idol group to help the environment.

As the Idol Group considers new environmentally friendly initiatives, the environmental performance of LIMEX has been highly evaluated and has led to its adoption. Going forward, we will continue to introduce LIMEX in original goods and other products for idol groups in Japan and overseas, with the aim of contributing to the development of entertainment and the realization of a sustainable society.
