Four Japanese companies have launched an initiative to jointly collect paper cups used in their stores and recycle them as paper towels!

Hello! I’m Saki, Borderless Creations’ Ambassador! Do you have any specific feelings about Climate change? Sad? Angry? Etc. Today I want to talk about eco-anxiety.

There are many different national and international sustainability labels and certificates.  They serve as checklists for companies to work towards sustainability goals and it enables clear communication for consumers. Here are three eco labels that are common as well as a few examples of products. You may hardly be aware of it in your daily life, but challenge yourself to see what kind of eco labeled products you can find in your house or in the supermarket! 

In order to respond to the voices of customers who are concerned about environmental protection and global warming, Paramita Corporation and Sakai Moving Center Co., Ltd. jointly developed a new moving plan called “Ethical Moving”. The plan allows you to offset CO2 emissions generated during your move by adding 1,000yen to your moving fee.

The plastic bag fee has been in effect since July 2020 in Japan.

Now that more than four years have passed, what results have been achieved? And what activities are being undertaken by various companies?

Hello! I’m Saki, Borderless Creations’ Ambassador!

Today, I’d like to share some thoughts and research on a topic I’ve been pondering: “How can I make kids’ clothing more sustainable?”

Small actions can have big impacts - for instance, planting a tree.⁠
As part of our commitment to sustainability, at Borderless Creations, we try our best to minimize our carbon footprint. However, as we are an online store, making our carbon footprint zero is not possible. Here’s what we use and recommend; Treedom and ecosia.⁠

How often should you wash your clothes?⁠
The answer really depends on personal aspects such as sweat level and lifestyle. However, of course every wash involves water and energy usage so what can we do? ⁠Here are some simple ways to make your laundry routine more eco-friendly.⁠

We had the opportunity to speak to ASIJ's 5th grade Japanese class again this year about sustainable food and how to find eco-friendly products. What should you think of when looking for eco-friendly foods? 

Borderless Creations’ Yasuhiro was interviewed for the series, “Exciting Life with Compost” in the December 17 issue of Orange Page (on sale on December 2)!

Reused products that have been life savors in our household.  Here are four bathroom items we highly recommend!
