・Plastic Smart

Kokusai Pulp & Paper has expressed its support for the concept of “Plastic Smart,” an initiative promoted by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment, and participates in the related forum. As marine plastic waste that is not collected continues to flow into the ocean through rivers and other pathways on a daily basis, the Ministry of the Environment promotes Plastic Smart to raise awareness and expand efforts aimed at addressing marine plastic pollution. Details of our activities registered under Plastic Smart are available at the links below.

・Japan Clean Ocean Material Alliance

Kokusai Pulp & Paper participates in the Clean Ocean Material Alliance (Japan Clean Ocean Material Alliance, “CLOMA”), which was established under the leadership of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Founded in 2019, CLOMA promotes the sustainable use of plastic products and the development and adoption of alternative materials, with the aim of accelerating innovation to address the global challenge of marine plastic pollution. As a trading company specializing in paper, we will continue to leverage the transaction networks we have cultivated over the years to advance initiatives toward the realization of a clean ocean.
