and foster sustainability. Among the highlights is the incredible display using 100% recycled PET fabric, known as “LUFAS®”, which is used for illuminated banners. The showcase will also include carbon-neutral paper, called “Zero CO2 Paper,” developed to support industries and employment in Tenku Village, Nara Prefecture, along with case studies on sustainable printing.

In addition, Kousoku Offset emphasizes educational involvement by presenting collaborations that utilize sustainable paper in educational initiatives, aimed at teaching environmental consciousness to both children and adults alike.

Meet 'Iine-kun'
