Transforming 30,000 Meters of Waste into Value: A Manufacturing Challenge Starting from Akaiwa

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is a dream of "Ebisu Co. Ltd. (EBIST)".

【 Dream ①: Utilizing Waste Materials for "Zero Waste" Manufacturing 】

Our main business is the manufacturing of flexible container bags and pallet covers.

The materials used in this manufacturing process amount to approximately 250,000 meters annually.

However, out of this, approximately 30,000 meters are discarded as waste material.

We found new value in these materials that were originally destined to be discarded.

That is the "EBIST Tote".

It boasts high durability and water resistance unique to industrial materials.

And the charm of being a one-of-a-kind item, each with a different expression.

Going forward, we aim to further expand the range of colors, sizes, and designs, striving to bring discarded materials as close to zero as possible.

"Things that were supposed to be thrown away, becoming something that someone uses for a long time."

We want to make this cycle a matter of course.

【 Dream ②: Delivering "Akaiwa's Craftsmanship" Nationwide 】

Akaiwa City, Okayama Prefecture, is a region where agriculture thrives.

There are many attractive local specialties to be proud of nationwide, such as peaches, grapes, and Omachi rice.

However, on the other hand, it is not good at promoting its charms, and its national recognition is still not high. We feel both frustration and great potential regarding the current situation in Akaiwa.

That is why, through craftsmanship, we want to convey the value of Akaiwa,

"Akaiwa is a great place, isn't it?"

"I want to choose it because it's from Akaiwa."

We want to create a future where people think that way.

It may not be an easy task, and it may be a big dream.

Nevertheless, we aim to become a presence that enhances the recognition of Akaiwa City and delivers the charm of the region nationwide.
