L-Stone One-Way Container

Under the slogan "Containers that go beyond 'feast'", Takagi Sangyo Co., Ltd. has been working on "Responsibility to Create, Responsibility to Use", No. 12 of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). The product is composed of 53% domestically produced limestone (calcium carbonate), which reduces the amount of plastic used by more than 50% compared to conventional containers. The main ingredient, calcium carbonate, is a substance with a proven safety record and is used as a food additive as an expander and quality improver.

Like conventional plastics, it also has excellent water, oil, and heat resistance.

Limestone is abundantly available in Japan, making it a self-sufficient material that does not depend on foreign raw materials.

The use of domestically produced materials also reduces CO2 emissions from transportation. CO2 emissions when incinerated as waste are also greatly reduced. As a result, we have succeeded in reducing CO2 emissions by about 36% compared to conventional products.

(*The amount of emissions was calculated based on guidance and analysis by the Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry.

Beyond "feast," we want to create a sustainable future. Takagi Sangyo Co., Ltd. will continue to solve problems for the health of the earth and people in the future through our products.

Future Prospects

Now that Takagi Sangyo has established a system to recycle the scrap material produced at its factories after container molding back into raw materials, the company will continue to develop products using recycled raw materials for daily necessities, agricultural products, and industrial products. Calcium carbonate is expected to be effective in preventing mold and mildew and repelling insects.
