Development Background
What can a laundry brand do, through 'laundry'—an activity deeply connected to the ocean?
The 'Laundry Basket Big for Ocean' was born from an initiative using marine plastic collected in Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, as part of its raw materials.
Not just to 'avoid polluting the ocean,' but to actively 'clean it up.' This product embodies that circular vision from a laundry brand's perspective.

Product Overview
A lightweight, user-friendly bestseller that fits seamlessly into daily laundry routines
The 'Laundry Basket Big' has been a long-standing bestseller since the brand's inception.
Laundry Basket Big
Made of durable, flexible, and lightweight domestic plastic.
Its large capacity accommodates busy lifestyles and evolving daily routines.
Seamless practicality from daily use to leisure activities
Launch on June 24: Laundry Basket Big for Ocean
Features soft handles that allow stacking and one-handed carrying, plus a mesh design that allows moisture to escape and reduces odor buildup—practical features for a laundry basket.
The unique blue marble pattern, characteristic of recycled materials, varies with each piece, offering subtle visual appeal.
Ideal not only for laundry rooms and changing areas but also for summer leisure use, thanks to its easy-to-wash design.
After beach or river outings, store swimsuits and towels inside and take it directly to a coin laundry. Seamlessly transitions from daily to active use.
Shines in leisure settings
Waste materials collected as trash are reborn as household tools. This product makes that circular journey tangible in everyday life.
Contains 5% recycled marine plastic
Approximately 5% of this product’s material is made from recycled marine plastic.
The distinctive blue marble pattern comes from blue polytanks washed ashore and collected on Tsushima’s coast, then cleaned and crushed into chips.
Additionally, about 90% of the material is biomass plastic—eco-friendly and derived from plant-based sources.
Tsushima’s current situation: One of Japan’s most severe marine debris problems
Approximately 30,000 cubic meters of marine debris wash ashore annually on Tsushima’s coast. Only about 30% is collected, and of that, only a portion is recycled.
Some of the collected plastic undergoes sorting, cleaning, and crushing to be reused as raw material.
The amount of marine plastic reused in this product is minimal compared to Tsushima’s total debris collection. However, improving recycling rates is crucial to reducing environmental burdens and local costs caused by marine debris.
We hope this initiative raises awareness of Tsushima’s marine waste issue and encourages people to reflect on the connection between their daily lives and the ocean.
