POINT 1Biomass product for packages of Toyo Ink
For the achievement of a sustainable society, TOYO INK offers inks / adhesives using biomass raw materials and promotes environmentally friendly inks along with ethical consumption.
TOYO INK designs environmentally friendly and safe products
- Using natural ingredients (in particular non-edible plant-based materials)
- Reducing resources depletion and CO2 emissions
What is biomass?
With the Japanese Government’s “Biomass Japan Comprehensive Strategy”biomass is defined as “renewable organic resources of biological origin excluding fossil resources”.
Biomass is both a renewable energy and an alternative resource to oil.
As bio-based energy / resources are circulating in natural cycles, they cannot face exhaustion as is the case with oil.
Also, as plant-based biomass absorbs CO2 during its formation, even if it (temporarily) releases CO2 during its incineration, we can consider that the emissions are offset by the CO2 absorbtion.
POINT 2Biomass products’advantages
- Applying natural ecosystems processes to human societies consists to achieve a sustainable society that does not depend on the resources exhaustion.
- Vegetation uses sunlight as its energy to grow and absorbs the CO2 in the atmosphere in this process.
So, as opposed to products using fossil resources, products relying on plant-based materials do not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere.
TOYO INK promotes the adoption of the “Biomass Mark” environmental label.
What is the Biomass Mark?
Delivered by the Japan Organics Recycling Association, this mark certifies that goods are using biological resources / are environmentally friendly
(with a biomass level of at least 10%) and comply with related regulations and standards.
