Advantages of “Chan-to Eco”, not just for being environmentally-friendly

Streamlined and careful manufacturing

We carefully check our process, materials and specifications in our manufacturing process and cut waste by reducing environmental burdens

burdens - which also leads to careful scrutiny of costs, and thus to cost advantages.

Manufacturing based on global standards

Certification standards for “Chan-to Eco” cannot be easily met. A product should conform to all the required items and more than 7 items out of the point-addition items to get certified.

By meeting the standards of “Chan-to Eco”, a product can also have the specifications that conform to global standards for forest certification.

User-friendly and easy-to dispose products

Cutting waste leads to reducing garbage. Our product is designed for easy scrapping and sorting, and we specify the used materials and disposal methods.

As we design our product taking into consideration its entire life cycle, you can reduce time and efforts at the time of disposal.

FSC®Forest certification:FSC®

In order to protect healthy forests, it is important to cut down trees appropriately.
Forest certification system, based on global standards, aims to protect the health of forests by certificating and labeling appropriately managed forests and chain of custody of the timber logged from the forests concerned.
We can provide a product, equally priced as non-recycled paper, with higher quality than that of used paper.

FM Certification

Forest Management (FM) Certification evaluates and certifies if forest management is appropriate in terms of environmental conservation, socially beneficial, and economically sustainability.

CoC certification

Chain of Custody (CoC) Certification certificates timber logged from certificated forests that are appropriately managed, being completely separated from and not mixed with other non-certified timber products during the process of processing and distribution.
Basically, when the ownership of certified timber is transferred to another company, the new owner has to obtain the certification again, the process of which applies to every step of producing, processing and distribution, continuing like a chain, and thus named Chain of Custody.
