Calmic's Involvement in the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo

Japanese Calmic Co., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, set to take place from April 13 to October 13, 2025, at Yumeshima in Osaka.

Background of the Expo Sponsorship

At events like expos where large crowds gather, maintaining clean and sanitary restroom facilities is a significant challenge. Issues such as stains on toilet bowls and the management of waste from sanitary products have added to the cleaning burden. To address these concerns, Calmic will introduce advanced sanitary solutions during the expo. This includes designer restrooms created by young architects, equipped with our specialized toilet cleaning devices (Product Name: Sanitizer) and touchless sanitary boxes (Product Name: Sanikko).

These innovative products not only ensure the cleanliness of restrooms but also enhance visitor satisfaction by promoting effective waste separation and reducing environmental impact. Calmic is committed to sustainability, operating on principles such as 'zero emissions' and following laws that encourage plastic resource recycling, aiming for a business model that supports long-term growth in harmony with society.

Product Details

1. Sanitizer

The Sanitizer automatically dispenses a measured amount of cleaning solution at the end of a flushing cycle, effectively disinfecting and cleaning the surface of the toilet bowl. The solution reaches not only the surface but also the trap and even the drainage pipes, ensuring thorough sanitation. This system maintains a weak alkaline environment within the toilet, which inhibits bacterial growth and prevents the formation of unpleasant odors and urine scale that can lead to clogs.

2. Sanikko

The Sanikko is an automatic touchless sanitary box designed to alleviate potential discomforts faced by women. Using sensors, it opens and closes the lid automatically with just a hand gesture, allowing users to dispose of sanitary products without making contact with the container. Additionally, its double-lid design ensures that the contents are not visible, significantly reducing the discomfort associated with visibility of disposed items.
