To promote environmentally friendly business activities and actively conduct such activities, TOKYO ART has made all offices as the scope of certification and established an Environmental Management System.
・ October, 2006: Obtained ISO14001 certification. ・ March, 2008: FSC（CoC）certification（FSC-C009563）
With the heightening environmental awareness in society, we have established an environmental policy and are conducting activities such as "environmentally friendly product development", "global warming prevention", and "use of recycled materials".
We offer the following environmentally friendly products.

Paper Bags/ FSC Certified Product is manufactured using raw materials from responsibly managed FSC certified forests, recycled sources and other well-supervised supply chains. FSC certification represents an international standard aimed at encouraging forest management practices that are environmentally responsible, socially advantageous and economically viable.
To offset our carbon footprint, we established a "Forest Production Project". By planting Japanese larches in Inner Mongolia in China, we are offsetting the CO2 produced in paper bag manufacturing, distribution, and incineration stages. At our Tokyo Factory, to reduce the burden on the environment when printing paper bags, we utilize water-based ink flexographic printing, thus increasing environmental friendliness. We also offer other environmentally friendly printed products, using methods such as waterless printing, which doesn't use large amounts of dampening agents so no waste water is produced, and recyclable vegetable ink which mainly made from plant-derived oils.

Plastic bags/ We are striving to popularize goods made from eco-friendly materials, such as nano-hybrid capsule 2 (NHC2), which has been made into a thin film that prevents an increase in greenhouse gasses, and bioplastics, which are plastics made from biomass. Both of these materials lead to conservation of petroleum resources. In recent years, we have also begun carrying products that use biodegradable plastic.

Novelty Items/ We are expanding the marketing of fans by conducting a "Fan Campaign", promoting the use of fans as an energy-saving device during summer that is also an effective advertisement. To respond to the demands for eco-friendly bags, we carry a variety of appropriate materials such as cotton, non-woven fabric and polyester. Use of eco-friendly bags leads to a reduction in plastic shopping bags and other packing materials.

To create a resource-recycling society that supports both the environment and the economy, TOKYO ART is actively working to select and develop appropriate materials.
