PAPLUS® Matte Tumbler Black with Lid (Paplus Matte Tumbler Black Wizzlid) Lot.No.CMN2410300700MTBL Until now, only "Plastic Free Tumbler" products with lids have been developed, but a new series with a silicone lid (lid) has been added. Since it is made of silicone, it will not chip even if dropped, and it is easy to handle. The main raw materials for PAPLUS® products are PLA (polylactic acid), which is mainly lactic acid obtained by fermenting corn starch, and paper. By making it from earth-friendly materials, it has a unique texture of natural materials like pottery and wood products, and we value individuality such as color and shade so that you can use it with love. ■ Particular design The PAPLUS Matte® Tumbler Black Wizzlid has a simple design to take advantage of the unique texture of the material. In order to straighten the silhouette of the side of the tumbler, we were particular about post-processing from the mold, and after finally polishing (blasting) to give it a matte texture, we applied black paint with a matte expression only to the surface to create a two-tone color. ■ About urethane coating The coating used this time is a urethane coating that is painted by dissolving black pigment in urethane resin, and it is an artificial paint that is considered harmless to the human body and complies with the Food Sanitation Law. In addition, PAPLUS, which has a high proportion of naturally derived ingredients, is a little delicate to water like wood products, but urethane coating increases water resistance and has the effect of suppressing the speed of aging. 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 with the priming technology of a partner factory that has the know-how of lacquer coating, which is Japan's manufacturing. * The collected color variations can be peeled off with a tool such as a grinder, and the inside is not painted, so only pure PAPLUS® materials can be efficiently sent to the remanufacturing process. ■ Commitment to packaging The packaging is made of "chip balls", which are 100% recycled paper made from recycled newspaper and magazine paper. ■ Warm drinks are also OK While many products with high purity of plant-derived ingredients do not have a heat-resistant function, the heat-resistant temperature of the PAPLUS® matte tumbler is 120°C, so you can use it for warm drinks with confidence. ■ Materials that are in harmony with the earth Approximately 86% of the PAPLUS® matte tumbler is made of corn-derived resin and paper, which is a plant-derived ingredient. Natural viscosity minerals (about 7%) and petroleum-derived additives (about 7%) are added to the main components to ensure heat resistance. *1 In addition, most of the material is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by the action of microorganisms. *2 *1 Please be assured that the minimum additives used comply with the Food Sanitation Law stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Many so-called eco-friendly products do not mention additives. Please be careful. *2 The time and degree required for decomposition vary greatly depending on the environment, so we do not guarantee 100%. ■ Recycle instead of throwing away If PAPLUS® products are thrown in the trash, they will be incinerated. Since it is made almost entirely from plant-derived ingredients, it is carbon neutral (virtually does not increase CO2), but please cooperate in recovering it as a resource and remanufacturing it instead of incinerating it as garbage. Let's create a new cycle together. Note: Recycling is only available for businesses in Japan.
