MYKE Takes a Stand for Water Conservation

In an admirable move towards global sustainability, MYKE, the renowned architectural materials brand under Yamachi Corporation, has announced a donation to WaterAid Japan for continuing their efforts in water resource conservation. The donation of 100,000 yen for the fiscal year 2025 emphasizes the brand's commitment to addressing critical water issues amid growing climate challenges. In recognition of this generous act, WaterAid Japan has extended a heartfelt letter of appreciation to MYKE.

Background of the Donation

As the effects of climate change intensify, the risk of water scarcity and extreme weather events escalates worldwide. MYKE perceives water not merely as a resource but as a vital social infrastructure that must be protected and preserved. Acknowledging the urgent need for action, the brand has adopted the motto "Protecting Earth's Water" within its product lines, thereby prompting a re-evaluation of manufacturing processes. With rising environmental challenges across the globe related to water, MYKE began this donation initiative under the conviction that those in the construction sector have unique responsibilities and capabilities to contribute to solutive actions.

MYKE’s Commitment to Water Conservation

MYKE is focused on developing products that align with three central objectives: 1) Valuing water, 2) Protecting water resources, and 3) Enhancing and circulating water availability. This commitment drives their strategy of product offerings, including permeable paving materials, which not only add aesthetic and functional appeal to construction projects but also promote eco-friendly initiatives in urban planning.

This year, MYKE will rely on the encouragement received from WaterAid Japan's appreciation letter to further advocate the implementation of green infrastructure, promoting products like ‘Gravel Fix’, ‘Grass Fix Eco Plus’, and ‘Beat Block’. These alternatives aim to educate and inspire construction professionals about innovative methods for water conservation in urban environments.
