PAPLUS® Plate (Paplus plate) Lot.No.CMN2510300700PLT PAPLUS's® first plate "PAPLUS Plate"®. The minimalist design, similar to PAPLUS® products, expands the range of total coordination as tableware. Unlike previous PAPLUS® products, it is also characterized by reducing the amount of paper to 20% for the first time, giving it a bright and light look. The main raw materials of PAPLUS® products are PLA (polylactic acid), which is mainly composed of lactic acid obtained by fermenting corn starch, and paper. By making it with earth-friendly materials, it has a unique texture of natural materials, such as ceramics and wood products, and we value individuality such as color and shade so that you can use it with affection. ■CO2 reduction: Approximately 165g-CO2e/unit reduction *This data is a comparison based on the specific gravity of the material, assuming PP (polypropylene) material of the same shape and volume. The evaluation is based on LCA (raw material-commercialization-incineration) based on theoretical combustion, and each material has the same grade (heat-resistant/non-heat-resistant, etc.). ■Particular design PAPLUS® is as particular about design as it is about the environment. We try to create a design that is minimalist and never gets boring, and the longer you use it, the more you will love it. ■Heat-resistant grade While many products with high plant-derived ingredients and purity do not have heat resistance, PAPLUS® plates have a heat-resistant temperature of 120°C. You can use it with warm food with peace of mind. ■Materials that harmonize with the earth Approximately 84% of PAPLUS® plates are made of resin and paper derived from corn, which are plant-derived ingredients. The main ingredients are natural viscosity minerals (about 8%) and petroleum-derived additives (about 8%) to ensure heat resistance. *1 In addition, most of the material is broken down into water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms. *2 *1 Please be assured that the minimum additives used comply with the Food Sanitation Act stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Many of the so-called eco-friendly products do not mention additives. Please note. *2 The time and degree required for disassembly vary greatly depending on the environment, so we cannot guarantee 100%. ■Recycling instead of disposable PAPLUS® products are incinerated if they are disposed of as garbage. It is carbon neutral (virtually does not increase CO2) because it is mostly made of plant-derived ingredients, but please cooperate in recovering it as a resource and reproducing it rather than incinerating it as garbage. Let's create a new cycle together. Note: Recycling is only available for businesses in Japan.
