SDGs

Focusing on the development
of environmentally friendly solutions.

We are committed to implementing
a circular economy through specific initiatives.

Toward the future of
circular economy connected with baton.

We aim to achieve a circular economy by building our own unique recycling system. By circulating resources, we can reduce the need for new materials and establish a "circular system" that generates as little waste as possible.To achieve this, manufacturers, material suppliers, and recycling companies are working together as the trinity.

Additionally, we are developing systems that make it easier for consumers to cooperate, and through partnerships with everyone involved in our products, we are committed to pursuing truly environmentally-friendly manufacturing.

To realize a circular economy, CASSETTE WALL & CEILING® has been designed with resource circulation in mind from the development stage. All materials are unified as polyester nonwoven fabric, of which 52% is made from recycled raw materials (recycled pellets).These efforts not only support the recycling business but also help balance supply and demand, which we see as a first step toward an advanced circular society.

For both the producers and consumers to contribute to the environment, we design products to be long-lasting.. Additionally, we have implemented an initiative to upcycle leftover fabric scraps from the manufacturing process by donating them to daycare centers and other institutions. When it comes time for disposal, we encourage consumers to return the products to the manufacturer, allowing the resources to be recycled and transformed back into CASSETTE WALL & CEILING® products.

To ensure long-term use of the product

we have made improvements in the molding method and heat treatment,allowing the product to be cleaned.allowing the product to be cleaned.Additionally, by adopting a cassette changeable system, partial replacement of parts is possible.The panels, base, and cover can be easily removed, making it possible to relocate and continue using the product if the wall needs to be changed or when moving to a new place.

Industry-Academia Collaboration Activities

Contribution to Education and Upcycling of Scraps

We are engaged in an initiative where we reuse waste materials generated during the manufacturing process to create upcycled products,which are then donated to educational institutions and welfare organizations.. In the spring of 2023, we collaborated with students from Konko Gakuen High School to create sound-absorbing materials, which were donated and installed in a daycare center.Through this industry-academia collaboration, we aim to contribute to education by providing a learning experience for high school students.

Leveraging Each Other's Strengths

As part of our industry-academia collaboration, we had students from the Faculty of Design at Okayama Prefectural University come up with cover designs for our Sound Absorption CASSETTE WALL & CEILING®. During a hands-on internship, the students were involved in prototyping the product from scratch. We are stimulated from this experience not only inspiration through their flexible and creative ideas but also turned into a valuable initiative for both of us. Building on this industry-academia collaboration, we aim to expand our partnerships toward achieving the SDGs.

BATON for 100

"Connecting today's rich lifestyle 100% to the future" is the concept behind BATON for 100, a project undertaken by Takeshin Package Co., Ltd. to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. (The logo features the shape of a relay baton, symbolizing the idea of "passing on to the next generation," and the design, inspired by the Mobius strip, reflects the wish for abundant resources to "continue forever.")
