Addressing environmental challenges with business cards using advanced environmental technologies.
By using business cards made from "CR LIMEX," a material utilizing CCU technology, approximately 47g of CO₂ per 100 cards is trapped, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, thus promoting efforts to address environmental issues through business.

Environmental performance that contributes to sustainable initiatives
The introduction of LIMEX products promotes reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and the use of petroleum-based plastics and water.

The luxurious texture perfectly matches the concept.
The luxurious, matte texture unique to LIMEX material perfectly matches the facility's concept as a "flagship store."

Durability suited to the characteristics of the business type
The durability of LIMEX material was evaluated for use as a menu board in a business with a high turnover rate and a large number of customers.

Superior color and environmental performance compared to conventional products.
Improvements in print color accuracy and environmental performance are also expected compared to conventional products.

Environmental performance that can contribute to Decarbonization and resource conservation
By introducing LIMEX products, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂, and the use of petroleum-based plastics and water.

Quantitative visualization of the effects of implementation
This is expected to result in an annual reduction of 34,137 kg in greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂, 6,165 kg in petroleum-based plastics, and 26,940 kg in water usage.

*Based on TBM's LCA (raw material procurement to disposal). These are reference values, not guaranteed values, as they may vary depending on manufacturing conditions.

Contributes to the conservation of water resources
From an environmental perspective, paper menus presented challenges, and menus made from LIMEX, a material that contributes to water resource conservation, were evaluated positively.

Reduce the workload on staff
Many store staff members gave positive feedback regarding the product's functionality, such as "It feels nice to the touch" and "It's water-resistant and easy to wipe clean if it gets dirty."

Environmental performance that contributes to the company-wide environmental protection goals.
We evaluated the environmental performance of LIMEX material, which can contribute to the goal of "reducing the use of fossil fuel-derived plastics by 50% compared to the fiscal year ending April 2019."

[Environmental impact reduction effect through implementation*]
Reduced plastic use by approximately 38% and greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂, by approximately 22%.​

* Reduction rate when comparing A-PET (amorphous polyethylene terephthalate) and LIMEX. Comparison of actual results from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022.

Review the use of grocery bag
In reviewing the use of grocery bag at bookstores, the "Bio LIMEX Bag" was evaluated as contributing to reducing the environmental impact.

Reduce plastic use and greenhouse gas emissions.
This is expected to reduce the use of petroleum-based plastics by approximately 20 tons per year and greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 72 tons per year*.

* Based on LCA (Calculation of Environmental Impact from Raw Material Procurement to Disposal) by TBM. May vary depending on manufacturing conditions. This is a reference value and not a guaranteed value.

Reduce plastic use and CO₂ emissions
Switching from conventional PE (polyethylene) products is expected to reduce annual plastic usage by approximately 21% and greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂, by approximately 21%*.

Lighter than before
By switching from conventional polyethylene bags to "LimeAir Bag," we have achieved weight reduction while maintaining the same functionality as before.

*Estimated by TBM (from raw material procurement to incineration). May vary depending on manufacturing conditions, etc. This is a reference value and not a guaranteed value.

It is possible to maintain the conventional shape.
By taking advantage of the processing properties of LIMEX Sheet, we were able to reproduce the same shape as before.

Reduce plastic use and greenhouse gas emissions
Each book is expected to reduce the use of petroleum-based plastics by approximately 57g and greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂, by approximately 351g-CO₂eq*.

* Based on TBM's LCA (calculation of greenhouse gas emissions including CO from raw material procurement, sheet manufacturing, and disposal [incineration] <processes such as processing into file form, printing, and transportation are omitted>). May vary depending on manufacturing conditions. These are reference values and not guaranteed values.

Achieving product development that aligns with trends
In an environment where products that are mindful of sustainability, including the SDGs, are in demand, we were able to develop products that are in line with social trends and the interests of our customers.

It can also be used for external appeals.
We use it as a tool to communicate our company's commitment to sustainability to the outside world.

*Comparison with current products. These are approximate reference values and not guaranteed values.

Easy to open and use
By using LIMEX for the cover in PUR binding, the spine of the book becomes softer, resulting in a book that opens easily and is easy to use.

Excellent water resistance and durability
The included supplement also uses LIMEX. Its excellent water resistance and durability mean it won't tear or fold even when wet, making it suitable for use in harsh environments where paper wouldn't suffice.
