Miyamori Co., Ltd. endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is the dream of Miyamori Co., Ltd.
Things that are still usable are discarded.
Things that truly have value are let go simply because they have nowhere to go.
Such moments exist far too often in this world.
Our dream at Miyamori Co., Ltd. is to eliminate the very option of 'discarding' from this world.
In the textile industry, vast amounts of scraps and unused materials are generated daily.
The reality is that many of them, despite having value, are discarded.
We have focused on these materials and have continued our efforts to 'utilize them as different values and circulate them.'
Our repair business, "ReForme," breathes new life into damaged clothes.
Our brand, "Nercocia.," upcycles unused resources like Hatomugi bran to create skin-friendly clothing using Hatomugi bran oil extracted from it.
And now, we are moving even further ahead.
That is "fiber carbon," created by carbonizing textiles.
By converting discarded clothing and textiles into charcoal,
they are reborn not merely as "waste" but as resources with diverse applications.

Furthermore, by carbonizing textiles,
it is possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 20% compared to incineration.
Starting with this "fiber carbon,"
we aim to create a new circular system: clothing → carbon → daily life, and connecting again.
The first product born from this initiative is "Pencils from Clothes."
"Pencils from Clothes" received an Excellence Award in the Sustainable Category of the Japan Stationery Award.
Despite being an unprecedented challenge from outside the stationery industry, it was recognized by many people.

How Pencils from Clothes are Made
A world where discarded items transform and pass on to the next users, supporting daily life.
A world where such circulation is commonplace.
A society where things don't "end when their role is over," but "connect to the next role."
That is the future we envision.
The day when the word "discard" becomes a thing of the past.
To ensure that day is not just a dream, we continue to question the very nature of manufacturing.
Clothes, materials, value.
We won't let them end.
Miyamori Co., Ltd. is earnestly working to create a future where "all discarding becomes a thing of the past."
