The effect of replacing with LIMEX Sheet.
LIMEX is a composite material with a dispersed inorganic filler system, containing over 50% inorganic substances such as calcium carbonate.
Born in Japan, LIMEX can be molded into alternative products for plastic and paper using limestone as its main raw material, and is also recyclable.
External Environment 01
By 2050, approximately 51%※1 of the world's population may face high water risk.
External Environment 02
The global consumption of paper is projected to increase by approximately 1.3 times by 2030 and 1.7 times by 2050, compared to 2015 levels. ※2
Environmental Contribution
・Compared to paper, no wood pulp is used in its manufacturing, and almost no water is required.
・Since alternative paper products can be manufactured with almost no water or forest resources, it also has the characteristic of being less constrained by geographical conditions and location during manufacturing.
