Sustainable management and efficient use of Bamboo, a natural resources with low environmental impact
Marine pollution by microplastics caused by plastic debris is a serious problem.
We have developed a straw made from bamboo as a raw material that has a low
environmental load and can be used continuously, and contributes to the solution
of the marine pollution problem. In addition, we plan to begin sales of Bamboo
toothbrushes within 2020, and we will push forward with “No to Plastic Policy”.
Bamboo will continue to expand its habitat if it is not continuously cut. Highly
grown bamboo blocks sunlight and kills surrounding trees. It also affects animals
that feed on plants. The continuous use of felled bamboo leads to the conservation
of forests.
