Vegetable packaging film "Calfresh"

From October 1st for three days, Oji Futech will be exhibiting at "Agriculture WEEK (commonly known as J-AGRI Tokyo Exhibition)" held at Makuhari Messe. Agriculture WEEK is an exhibition where agricultural materials, smart agriculture products, livestock materials, and more are showcased, facilitating active business discussions between exhibiting companies and visitors. At Oji Futech's booth within the Agricultural Materials EXPO, we will introduce our paper-based agricultural mulching sheet, "OJI Sustainable Mulch." Oji Futech's "OJI Sustainable Mulch" is a mulching sheet made primarily from cellulose. After use, it decomposes in the soil, which not only reduces waste disposal costs but also helps suppress soil temperature rise, leading to increased yields for summer and autumn crops. We will also be showcasing our freshness-preserving and antibacterial OPP film, "Calfresh," at the same booth. We look forward to your visit!

This exhibition is the first agricultural and livestock exhibition in the Tokai region. With four themes: "Rice Fields and Field Crops," "Livestock and Dairy Farming," "Horticulture," and "Smart Agriculture," it is a major event where the latest products and services addressing agricultural and livestock challenges come together. Oji Ftex will showcase the paper mulching sheet "OJI Sustainable Mulch" and the OPP film for vegetable packaging "Calfresh" at the Oji Container booth. We look forward to your visit!

Hattori Co., Ltd. declares its motto as "Creating products that are kind to people and the Earth" and aims to contribute to initiatives that enhance the attractiveness of local living through the achievement of the SDGs and pass it on to the next generation. One of the environmentally friendly products they handle is our Calfresh, which has been adopted for use as an antibacterial sheet for bento boxes. It has been recognized for utilizing scallop shells that would otherwise be treated as waste, suppressing bacterial growth, and contributing to the reduction of food loss, aligning with their SDGs initiatives. It is also used by bento chain stores and is available for sale online. Calfresh is an OPP film blended with fine powder from scallop shells. The film surface becomes alkaline due to moisture from food, which suppresses bacterial growth. This is the first time this product has been adopted for use as an antibacterial sheet.

Oji Futech Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at "FOOMA JAPAN 2025," which will be held for four days starting June 10 (Wednesday) at Tokyo Big Sight.

It attracts attention every year as a venue for information exchange and the creation of new business opportunities through the display of the latest technologies and products in the food industry. At Oji Futech's booth, we will introduce products that contribute to solving issues such as environmental considerations surrounding food packaging and food waste reduction, including our non-fluorinated oil-resistant paper "O-hajiki."
