LIMEX Sheet, whose main raw material is calcium carbonate (limestone), is a material that can be used as an alternative to plastic and paper. Compared to sheets made from petroleum-based plastic, it can reduce the amount of petroleum-based plastic used. In addition, compared to paper, it uses almost no water during production, has excellent durability and water resistance, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. LIMEX Sheet is manufactured at the company's own manufacturing base, the Tohoku LIMEX Factory in Miyagi Prefecture, which uses electricity that is essentially "100% renewable energy-derived" and "zero CO2 emission coefficient." "LIMEX Sheet" can drastically reduce the amount of petroleum used compared to conventional petroleum-based plastic sheets. This contributes to the conservation of limited petroleum resources and reduces CO2 emissions throughout the entire lifecycle, from procurement of raw materials to disposal. The main raw material, limestone, has a stable supply compared to petroleum-based plastics and has little price fluctuation, making it possible to provide it at a stable price. We are working to visualize and reduce the environmental impact that occurs during the product's life cycle through LCA (Life Cycle Assessment). Here, we will specifically show the environmental performance of our products compared to various petroleum-based plastics by providing detailed data on the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions such as CO2 and the amount of plastic used throughout the product's entire life cycle (from the raw material procurement stage to disposal).
