■Background of Mina Form Marumaru becoming a playground equipment PLAY! PARK and Tokyo City University Tezuka Laboratory have
collaborated to launch the “Big Plate x Mina Form Marumaru” project! ! PLAY! PARK curator Rina Oguri wants to make play equipment with things that don’t exist in the world! With this in mind, we focused on Minaform Marumaru, a “mysterious object that is a white round stick that has elasticity when you touch it and starts to move slowly when you lift the tip”, and visited Sakai Chemical Industry, and this project was started. Sakai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is cooperating with this project, inspired by the idea of using it in a completely different way than building materials.
Play equipment planned and produced by various creators, students, and staff using Minaform Marumaru will be available.

■About Sakai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
Sakai Chemical Industry, which started as a manufacturer of synthetic resin processed products in 1963, has been taking into account the environmental impact of packaging materials and product protection materials in the distribution systems of various industries, but we are striving to be even more environmentally friendly. Therefore, we are working on the “Six Ecos” to realize a decarbonized society. In this initiative, we subdivide specific objectives and goals into six items, called the “Six Ecos,” and quantify the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in CO2 equivalent, which serves as a guideline for our customers. The targets are plastic products made from synthetic resins, such as polyethylene film, foamed polyethylene sheets, foam cushioning materials, and plastic cardboard.
In the future, we plan to work on the recycling of used products, and we will work together with customers and local governments to promote the “six ecos” and help create a recycling-oriented society. I hope to be able to take on this role.
Based on our desire to be a company that is needed by the world, we aim to be a company that is needed by the world by continuing to meet the needs of our customers.
