Plans to switch plastic packaging (bottle) to recycle material Switching amount to recycle material (compared with 2020) 1,300 tons in one yearpecially difficult as it’s rigid so paper wrinkles could be a problem when compared with films. As a result, we have to change different parameters of the filling packaging machine to see whether we can sort that out to match with the components. Everything is for realizing the same high productivity of the conventional plastic package,” explained Mr. Yusuke Honda, also from the Package Design Group of the Product Development Centre of the Food Research Institute, Food Busi-ness Department.The production cost to minimize increase in the production cost through various means like mak-ing the package smaller.”Plans to mono-materialize mayonnaise bottleAs it’s the first paper packaging ever for crystalloid seasoning in Japan, the move had enormous effects on other competitors in the industry, as well as to consumers and to society as a whole. “We sincerely hope social effects will be all positive. It’d be great if we could be the pioneer in this aspect,” com-mented Mr. Miyasaka. So far, positive feedback has been obtained from large supermarket agents, so the corporate has high hopes on the sales figures.They are now planning to mo-no-materialize the packaging of the “Pure Select” mayonnaise series by the end of the fascial year 2022 (ex-cluding the fresh keeping bottles of the “Pure Select Mayonnaise”). The move involves as much as 1,300 tons of re-cycle materials when compared with 2020. They are also working on the switch from plastic to paper packaging for their sweetener “Pal Sweet Slim-up Sugar” (20-piece bag stick) to cut off the use of 1 tons of plastic in a year.for paper packaging is higher while the corpo-rate has chosen not to transfer the cost to their customers. The decision was based on the true, real feedback from consumers. Mr. Miyasaka remarked that customers claimed it’s an abso-lute “no” when asked whether they found it reasonable to bare the pro-duction cost increase due to the new paper packaging option. He said, “It means that our consumers believe that environmental issues are to be dealt by manufacturers; retail price should nev-er be adjusted for that. We hadn’t sac-rifice profits for the move, so we had Concerning with overseas prod-ucts, Ajinomoto Indonesia has cut off the header in the package of “Masa-ko”, its major product, and Ajinomoto Thailand has abolished the inner pack-* “AJI-NO-MOTO” and “Hi-Me” are registered trademarks of Ajinomoto Co., Inc.age of “AJI-NO-MOTO”. It’s estimated that the usage of as many as 864 tons of plastic could be reduced in every year (when compared to fascial year 2019) among all Ajinomoto products in the four regions of Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam. To conclude, let’s take a deeper look at the comment from Mr. Kosuke Usui, the chief research officer from the Package Design Group of the Product Development Centre of the Food Re-search Institute, Food Business De-partment in preparation for the goal of “elimination of plastic wastes by 2030”-. “We have three major concrete plans indeed. The first one is to light, thin, and small. As it goes literally, we would like to make our package lighter, thin-ner, and smaller. The paper packaging this time is a part of this plan. The sec-ond one is to adopt recycle materials, including mono-materials, which is ac-tually the area with the brightest spot-light for future technologies. We are very much ready to work with material manufacturers and convertors for new development hand in hand. The third one is biodegradable resin. Regarding this, we are evaluating the adoption considering the development plan of recycling infrastructure. Certainly we are keeping a close eye on trends, in-cluding overseas trends.”Can stand with the triangular “legs” on both sides of the package bagMono-material packaging solution of the “Pure Select” series18
