Achieving a sustainable society with
the two-pronged approach of
paper manufacturing × environment

Industrial materials and household goods have developed as the foundation that supports Japanese industry. Specialty Materials have created many firsts with a mission to promote domestic production in Japan. These three paper manufacturing businesses continue to expand the potential of paper as a material through production technologies that offer stable quality and commit to developing products that pursue one-of-a-kind added value.

In addition, paper manufacturing is closely linked to recycling such as re-using old paper collected in the manufacturing process and using wood biomass fuel. In this way, through paper manufacturing, we use our experience to contribute to resource recycling in our environment-related business and aim to reduce the overall environmental impact on society. The Tokushu Tokai Paper Group uses a two-pronged approach further promoting these three paper manufacturing businesses and focusing on our environment-related business to work on achieving a sustainable society.
