As part of the objectives set within our environmental management system, we are committed to expanding circular business and the implementation of environmentally responsible business. In Japan, we are advancing the Green Biz Project, while in Europe, we conduct environmental impact assessments through the Green Star SystemTM. In Oceania, we publish the Environs catalog, which features products with low environmental impact. These initiatives reflect our commitment to developing environmentally responsible business in diverse forms. In Japan, we are also actively promoting the adoption of OJO+ Paper Turf, an artificial grass product made from paper yarn. The number of installations by local governments and other institutions is steadily increasing.

In this section, we introduce our initiatives in regions around the world.

Japan

Kokusai Pulp & Paper sells the paper-based artificial turf OJO+ Paper Turf, manufactured by its subsidiary Oji Fiber. This product is increasingly being adopted by local governments and showcased at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. As an alternative to plastic artificial turf, which is considered a contributor to marine plastic pollution, this paper-based solution is expected to expand its market for both exterior and interior applications.
