The spread of banana paper began with a voice from a young employee. The impetus for us to start promoting banana paper was a comment from a sales employee who was in his third year at the company at the time. In addition to using materials that would otherwise be discarded, we also focus on fair trade, which leads to support for poverty, education, and employment for women. “ I can’t believe there is such wonderful paper! ” Not a paper-free option, but “Using” can lead to solving the world’s problems .

It warmed my heart to know that there are other people who sympathize with the hope expressed in a piece of paper and think it’s wonderful. In addition to sales activities, we also want to provide correct knowledge to our customers.
