Ongoing Support for BCP and ESG: Okumura Printing’s New Origami Dish

Support for BCP and ESG Initiatives

Okumura Printing Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Kita-ku, Tokyo) has officially launched the corporate sales of its innovative paper dish set, "Origami Dish beak", designed as a New Year gift for businesses. This product is not just a seasonal offering; it encapsulates a powerful message supporting companies' commitments to BCP (Business Continuity Planning) and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.

Features of the Origami Dish "beak"

The beak dish’s primary advantage lies in its ability to meet contemporary challenges faced by companies through time-honored traditions like New Year greetings.

1. BCP Solutions

One of the standout features of the beak dish is its A4-sized flat storage design, significantly reducing space requirements. Despite its compact form, it can transform into robust tableware when used. In emergency situations where continued operation is crucial, businesses often need ample supplies for their personnel. The beak dish enhances storage efficiency, allowing companies to stock up on essential resources like food and water more effectively. For instance, even when stacking vessels for 1,000 people, they only reach a height of approximately 45cm, proving its space-saving capability.

2. Quality Assurance During Disasters

Certified by the Japan Disaster Prevention Association, the beak dish is recognized as a reliable product for use in emergency situations, ensuring peace of mind when it matters most.

3. Commitment to ESG Management

In today's business landscape, addressing environmental impacts and enhancing corporate image are vital. The beak dish contributes to these objectives in several ways:

- Plastic Reduction: It complies with the recently implemented Plastic Resource Circulation Promotion Law, thereby aiding in the reduction of plastic waste.
- Eco-Friendly Design: Made from 100% virgin pulp, these dishes are disposable as burnable trash. Should they be improperly discarded outdoors, they are designed to biodegrade in approximately two years.
- FSC Certification: All materials used are sourced from responsibly managed forests according to FSC standards.

4. Confirmed Quality and Recognition

Okumura Printing’s sophisticated printing and processing technologies, coupled with strict quality control measures, contribute to the dish's reliability. The product has received several accolades, including the Invention Award for the 48th Annual Invention Grand Prize and securing first place in the Sustainability Category at the IPA2024 Global Awards. Additionally, the company holds domestic patents for its unique technology and is currently pursuing international patent applications. The beak dish is manufactured in a clean room environment to maintain the highest quality and minimize contamination risks.
