    The main raw materials of PAPLUS® products are PLA (polylactic acid), which is mainly composed of lactic acid obtained by fermentation of corn starch, and paper.
    By using earth-friendly materials, PAPLUS® products have the unique texture of natural materials like ceramics and wood products, and we value the individuality of the colors and shades so that our products can be used with love and care.

    Design with Attention to Detail
    Plastic Free Tumbler Black has a simple design that makes the most of the unique texture of the material.
    The side silhouette of the tumbler is made straight by post-processing from the mold, and finally polished to a matte finish.

    ■Particular black color
    Black is a good match for PAPLUS® with its minimalist design policy. The inside is left as it is so as not to erase all the original PAPLUS® texture, and only the outside is coated with urethane to create a two-tone color.

    About the urethane coating
    The coating used this time is a urethane coating, in which black pigment is dissolved in urethane resin, and is an artificial coating that is considered harmless to the human body and conforms to the Food Sanitation Law. PAPLUS®, which has a high ratio of naturally occurring ingredients, is a little delicate to water, just like wood products, but the urethane coating increases its water resistance and reduces the speed of aging.
    In fact, the main raw material of PAPLUS®, corn-derived biodegradable resin (polylactic acid), has a property of repelling paint. We were able to solve this problem by using the undercoating technology of a partner factory that has expertise in lacquer coating, a Japanese manufacturing technique.
    *The painted parts of the recovered color variations can be peeled off with a grinder or other tool, and since the inside is not painted, only the pure PAPLUS® material can be efficiently sent to the reprocessing process.

    ■Care for Packaging
    The package is made of [chipboard], which is 100% recycled paper made from used newspapers and magazines.

    ■Warm drinks are also OK
    While many products with high purity plant-derived ingredients do not have a heat resistance function, the plastic-free tumbler black has a heat resistance temperature of 120°C, so you can use it for warm drinks with peace of mind.

    A material that harmonizes with the earth
    Plastic Free Tumbler Black is made of 86% corn-derived resin and paper, which are plant-derived components.
    To these main ingredients, natural viscosity minerals (approx. 7%) and petroleum-derived additives (approx. 7%) are added to ensure the heat-resistant function. *1
    The majority of the material is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by the action of microorganisms. *2
    *1 Please be assured that the additives used at a minimum comply with the Food Sanitation Law stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
    There are many eco-friendly products that do not mention additives.
    Please be aware of this.
    *2 The time and degree of decomposition will vary greatly depending on the environment, so 100% decomposition is not guaranteed.

    Recycle instead of throw away
    PAPLUS® products are incinerated if they are thrown away as garbage. However, we ask for your cooperation in collecting them as a resource and reprocessing them instead of incinerating them as garbage. Let's create a new cycle together.
    Note: Recycling is only available for domestic operations in Japan.

    PAPLUS

    PAPLUS® is an environmentally friendly brand based on the concept of [creating a future of circulation]. Our goal is to provide high-quality, beautiful products while minimizing the burden on the global environment. By considering the entire product lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal and reuse, PAPLUS® is a brand that embodies a symbiotic relationship with nature, and is committed to realizing a sustainable future.

    Commitment to Products
    PAPLUS® uses biodegradable materials made from plant-derived and natural ingredients, eliminating petroleum-derived ingredients as much as possible. This is due to our strong sense of crisis over the growing problem of plastic waste on a global scale. From the very beginning of the company's foundation, we have been asking ourselves what materials are environmentally friendly and what materials can enrich people's daily lives, and through many years of research and trial and error, PAPLUS® was born.

    The brand story is based on the philosophy of "born from nature, returned to nature. We have created a system that allows products to be recycled and reborn as new PAPLUS® products after use, while maintaining their durability and beauty. We hope that the story of "circulation" engraved on each of our products will serve as a bridge between consumers and nature.

    Furthermore, PAPLUS® makes the process from product collection to recycling transparent. By letting customers know which products are being recycled and how they are being recycled, we aim to deepen the trust between brands and help build a sustainable society together. By sharing this story, we provide a brand experience that makes each of us feel like an important part of shaping a sustainable future.
