It is eco-friendly paper packaging for seasoning crystal like “AJI-NO-MOTO®”, which has pinhole-resistance and vapor barrier property. Proprietary technology makes the new packaging comparable to the current plastic packaging in terms of durability, moisture resistance, and ease of opening. The adoption of the new package is expected to reduce the current plastic usage by about 34%, or 12 tons, per year. It’s also hoped this move by an industry leader will have a ripple effect and prompt other companies to adopt more eco-friendly packaging.
In addition, the package has the “wide top bag” shape, which has “legs” to stand alone at the lower external side of the pillow-shape package bag. The paper packaging is a refillable bag, and it also contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions by refilling into bottles.
