Environmental performance that contributes to sustainable initiatives.
LIMEX products promote reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and the use of petroleum-based plastics and water.

The luxurious texture matches the concept.
The luxurious matte texture unique to LIMEX material matches the concept of the facility as a “flagship store.

Durability suited to the characteristics of the business type.
The durability of LIMEX material was evaluated as a menu chart for a business type with high turnover and a large number of customers.

Better color tints and environmental performance than conventional products
Improvements over conventional products are expected in terms of printing color tints and environmental performance.

Environmental performance that contributes to decarbonization and resource conservation
LIMEX products reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂, and the use of petroleum-based plastics and water.

Quantitative visualization of the effects of the introduction of the system
The system is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions including CO₂ by 34,137 kg, petroleum-derived plastics by 6,165 kg, and water consumption by 26,940 kg over the course of a year. *

*From LCA (raw material procurement to disposal) by TBM. These are reference values, not guaranteed values, as they may vary depending on manufacturing conditions.

Contributing to the conservation of water resources
Evaluated a menu list using LIMEX as a material that can contribute to the conservation of water resources, instead of a paper menu list that had a sense of challenge from the perspective of environmental impact.

Reduce staff workload
Many store staff had positive comments about the functionality, such as “the feel is good,” and “it is water-resistant and can be wiped clean quickly even if it gets dirty.

Environmental performance that can contribute to the environmental measures target of the company-wide policy
Evaluate the environmental performance of LIMEX materials that can contribute to the target of “50% reduction in fossil fuel-derived plastics use compared to FY04/2019”.

Environmental impact reduction effects* due to the introduction of
About 38% reduction in plastic use Greenhouse gas emissions, including CO emissions (including CO₂) by about 22%. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions including CO

* Figures are annual estimates (raw material procurement to incineration) by TBM and are not guaranteed values. They may vary depending on manufacturing conditions and other factors.
* Reduction rate when comparing A-PET (amorphous polyethylene terephthalate) and LIMEX, based on actual results from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022.

Reviewing the operation of plastic bags
In the process of reviewing the operation of plastic bags in bookstores, the Bio LIMEX Bag was evaluated for its contribution to reducing environmental impact.

Reduction in plastic use and greenhouse gas emissions
The effect* is expected to reduce the use of petroleum-based plastics by approximately 20 tons per year and greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 72 tons per year.

* Based on LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) using TBM (from raw material procurement to disposal). Values may vary depending on manufacturing conditions. These are reference values and not guaranteed values.

Reduce plastic usage and CO₂ emissions
Switching from conventional PE products is expected to have the effect of reducing plastic usage by about 21% and greenhouse gas emissions including CO₂ by about 21%* per year.

Lighter than before
By switching from the standard polyethylene bag to the LimeAir Bag, the weight has been reduced while maintaining the same functionality as before.

The same shape as before could be reproduced by taking advantage of the machining aptitude of
LIMEX Sheet.

Curbing Plastic Use and Greenhouse Gases
Each book is expected to curb the use of petroleum-based plastics by about 57 g and greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂, by about 351 g-CO₂eq*.

* Based on LCA by TBM (calculation of greenhouse gas emissions including CO from raw material procurement, sheet production, and disposal [incineration] ). The values may vary depending on the manufacturing conditions. These are reference values, not guaranteed values.

Realization of product development in line with trends
Amid the demand for SDGs and other sustainability-conscious products, we were able to realize product development that was in line with social trends and the interests of our clients.

Use for external appeal
Use as a tool to communicate your company’s commitment to sustainability to external audiences.

*Comparison with current products. These are approximate reference values and are not guaranteed.

Easy to open and use
PUR binding with LIMEX as the cover material softens the spine of the book, making it easy to open and use.

Superior water resistance and durability
LIMEX is also used for the appendix. Its excellent water resistance and durability, which prevents tearing and folding even when wet, enables use in harsh environments that paper cannot withstand.
