FDA Upcycling Project Vol. 8: Developing Products Using Discarded Acrylic Partitions

Fuji Dream Airlines Co., Ltd. (Abbreviation: FDA, Headquarters: Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, President and CEO: Shunsuke Honda) has created original goods by reusing acrylic partitions from the perspective of "upcycling," which regenerates discarded parts and equipment into products with new value.

These products are made from acrylic partitions that were installed in offices during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent droplet transmission. They are original items that add new value to equipment that has fulfilled its role of protecting employees' lives.

The development of these products was undertaken in collaboration with Daiki Corporation, located in Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, FDA's founding location, which processes polishing pads for silicon wafers essential for semiconductor manufacturing. These products will be released on the FDA official online shop starting July 3, 2026 (Fri).

FDA will continue to consider implementing upcycling projects for aircraft equipment and parts in collaboration with companies in its service areas as part of its initiatives for a sustainable society.

<Comment from Daiki Corporation>

The keychains produced this time fully utilize Daiki's motto of "not just using things according to the manual, but adding unique customization." When we received the offer for upcycling, we were very excited at the thought that the partitions that protected us during the pandemic would be reborn in a new form, reach everyone's hands, and shine again. When considering how to convey this "excitement" to everyone, we thought it would be by accurately expressing the colors imbued with the sentiments of each of the 15 aircraft. These keychains were made using the "upcycling" approach, new technology, machines that have been active for a long time, and the know-how we have cultivated. We carefully crafted each one, imagining the joy of everyone who holds them.
