■ About the '1minute, 1napkin' Project

In addition to providing napkins in restroom stalls, toreluna implements '1minute, 1napkin,' where one sanitary napkin is delivered to a place that needs it for every minute of advertising aired at toreluna installation sites nationwide. As an initiative where placing ads on toreluna digital signage leads to solving social issues, it is a mechanism to deliver to regions and organizations that need sanitary products, such as local governments, schools, and disaster-stricken areas, together with partner companies.
