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? 

Three actions you can take in your home! 

Even small actions can have a big impact.

It’s getting harder and harder to predict the weather these years and it sometimes makes me anxious to hang the laundry outside. In those days, I use the tumble dryer and when using the tumble dryer, “ULAT dryer balls” are a must for me.

So today, I’m writing about “ULAT dryer balls” which are available at Borderless Creations.

What do you do with used pens and plastic toothbrushes? Even if you separate used items properly, most don’t get recycled, but little by little, collection and recycling technologies are increasing in Japan.
