Activities of The Pack Forest Environment Fund

About The Pack Forest^® Environment Fund

The Pack has commercialized a number of environmentally friendly materials over the years, developing bagasse paper in 1993, kenaf paper in 1995, Suiaru paper, specially treated to eliminate generation of dioxins and chlorine gases when burned, in 1999, and Ashi paper, which is made from reeds, in March 2002.
When these materials are used in packaging products, we contribute a percentage of revenue to The Pack Forest Environment Fund, which engages in forest conservation and tree-planting activities. The fund is administered by the non-profit Eco Future Fund. Our employees and customers also engage in volunteer activities and help to recruit additional participants.
Conservation activities have been conducted in Nishiwaga, Iwate Prefecture since 2001; Yoshino, Nara Prefecture (a World Heritage site) since March 2002; Onna, Okinawa Prefecture since October 2003; Takehara, Hiroshima Prefecture since November 2004; Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture since February 2009; Takatsuki, Osaka Prefecture since November 2009; Hidaka, Saitama Prefecture since March 2012; and Shijonawate, Osaka Prefecture since June 2016. A new program has also been established that enables customers to participate as well.
With a keen awareness of ESG, the fund will continue conducting forest preservation activities in line with local needs through collaboration with customers, the government, NPOs, community members, and The Pack. Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
