Rigua and TBM Introduce Eco-Friendly Packaging for Body Lotion

Collaboration between Rigua and TBM

In an exciting partnership, Rigua Co., Ltd. and TBM Co., Ltd. have unveiled a new initiative aimed at enhancing sustainability in personal care products. This collaboration marks the launch of eco-friendly packaging for Rigua's healthcare brand, My.Supporter, specifically for their body milk lotion. The packaging now features LIMEX, a groundbreaking environmentally conscious material developed by TBM. This change is set to be rolled out gradually across all associated osteopathic clinics and Rigua's official online store nationwide.

Background of the Initiative

This collaborative project is part of a broader capital and business partnership established between Rigua and TBM. Following their successful venture into the Vietnamese market with the Dr.Supporter brand, this second endeavor aims to leverage the strengths of both companies to create synergies. With increasing global demands for carbon neutrality and the reduction of geopolitical risks, Rigua recognizes the necessity of minimizing environmental impact and ensuring stable supply chains as critical management objectives.

By adopting LIMEX, which utilizes limestone as a raw material, Rigua is effectively reducing its reliance on petroleum-based plastics and lowering its overall CO₂ emissions. This move not only enhances the lifecycle sustainability of their products but also deepens the inter-company relationship between Rigua and TBM, steering both brands towards a more eco-friendly future.

Moving forward, both companies are committed to fostering a strong partnership and promoting various collaborative efforts focused on the use of sustainable materials. They aim to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and support healthier, more fulfilling lives for consumers.

Insights into LIMEX

LIMEX is an innovative material created by TBM, utilizing inorganic substances such as calcium carbonate (limestone) as an alternative to traditional plastics. By using LIMEX, which can be molded and processed with existing equipment, companies can significantly reduce their consumption of petroleum-based plastics and cut down greenhouse gas emissions throughout product lifecycles. Furthermore, limestone’s renewability in various regions, including Japan, enhances its importance in addressing geopolitical challenges. Over 10,000 companies and municipalities have already adopted this material in their operations.
