Plastic-Free Tumbler Black Mikazuki Shoten Collaboration Model Lot.No. MZS2310300700PTBL Since June 2023, "Mikazuki Shoten" has been using mat tumblers and stacking tumblers for customers. We received many requests from customers to purchase the product, so we were able to develop the product for sale. [Mikazuki Shoten] 〒761-3110 Kagawa Prefecture Kagawa District Naoshima Town 2291-5 Tel.087-813-1322 https://mikazukishoten.jp/ 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 400g-CO2e/piece 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 The Plastic Free Tumbler Black has a simple design to take advantage of the unique material feel. In order to straighten the silhouette of the side of the tumbler, we are particular about post-processing from the mold, and finally polish it to give it a matte texture. ■Particular black color Black goes well with PAPLUS,® which has a minimalist design policy. We are particular about the details of the expression, and we use matte ones, leaving the inside as it is so that all the original textures of PAPLUS® are not erased, and only the outside is a two-tone color coated with urethane. ■About urethane coating The paint used this time is a urethane coating that dissolves black pigment in urethane resin and complies with the Food Sanitation Act. In addition, PAPLUS, which has a high proportion of naturally derived ingredients, is a little delicate to water, just like wood products, but by coating it with urethane, it increases water resistance and has the effect of reducing the speed of change over time. In fact, the biodegradable resin (polylactic acid) derived from corn, which is the main raw material of PAPLUS®, has the property of repelling paint. We were able to solve this problem by using the primer coating technology of a partner factory that has know-how in lacquering, which is Japanese manufacturing. *The recovered color variations can be removed with a grinder or other tool, and the inside is not painted, so only the pure PAPLUS® materials can be efficiently used for the reproduction process. ■Commitment to packaging The packaging uses "chipball", which is 100% recycled paper made from waste paper from newspapers and magazines. ■Hot drinks are also OK While many products with high purity of plant-derived ingredients do not have heat resistance, the heat resistance of Plastic Free Tumbler Black is 120°C, so you can use it for warm drinks with confidence. ■Materials that harmonize with the earth About 86% of the Plastic Free Tumbler Black is made of resin and paper derived from corn, which is a plant-based ingredient. The main ingredients are natural viscosity minerals (about 7%) and petroleum-derived additives (about 7%) 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.
