Announcement press release

The ITOKI REUSABLE PAPER BAG is a hybrid paper bag for carrying and organizing.

Improve the life cycle of our original carrier bags by reusing them as file boxes at your office or home.

ITOKI CORPORATION (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Koji Minato) redesigned the paper bags currently used to deliver catalogs to customers on December 1st into the "ITOKI REUSABLE PAPER BAG," a sustainable version that can also be reused as file boxes. This adds an additional function to the bag in addition to "carrying," and by integrating the handle and the body of the bag from the same material, it is possible to improve the life cycle of paper without the need for separation.

ITOKI REUSABLE PAPER BAG

background

Our vision statement is `` Vibrant People, Beautiful Planet.'' and we provide products, services, and spatial designs that are considerate of Planet environment and people. In addition, we have set the materiality theme of ``protecting the natural environment and promoting resource circulation,'' and are promoting the creation of ``Eco-products'' in our products. It is an extension of our way of thinking.

In terms of environmental considerations, our previous paper bags were recyclable, but the handles were made of cotton, so they had to be separated. With this redesign, the handle and body are made of the same material, reducing the burden on the recipient while contributing to the 3Rs of reduce, reuse, and recycle.

We have also added some emotional touches to encourage reuse as file boxes. The main body color is a deep green reminiscent of a forest. Nowadays, when remote work and hybrid work have become established, this color tone blends well with spaces based on wood materials that create comfortable offices and homes, as well as modern spaces with gray or silver tones. Additionally, by adding our corporate logo in matte silver in a modest size, we appeal to the sensibilities of customers who receive paper bags and encourage reuse.
