Oji Holdings Corporation (President: Hiroyuki Isono, Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) announces that paper-based sachets for liquid foods, jointly developed with Taisei Lamick Group Head Quarter & Innovation Corporation (President: Tadashi Hasebe, Head Office: Shiraoka City, Saitama), have been adopted by Kewpie Corporation (President: Mitsuru Takamiya; Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) for use in its salad dressings. Starting September 20, these sachets have been introduced on selected international in-flight meals served by Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. In response to the growing societal demand for reducing environmental impact, Oji Holdings has been promoting the practical application of paper-based liquid packaging under the key themes of “Plastic and CO₂ Reduction.” This product combines Oji Holdings’ expertise in paper manufacturing technologies with Taisei Lamick Group’s strengths in lamination and liquid packaging machinery. While primarily composed of paper, the sachets provide excellent barrier properties against oxygen and water vapor—requirements essential for liquid food packaging—realizing a new sustainable yet highly functional packaging solution. By introducing this paper-based packaging, the amount of plastic used per sachet has been reduced by 44%, and CO₂ emissions have been reduced by 25% compared to Taisei Lamick Group’s conventional plastic packaging. The Oji Group has long proposed a wide range of sustainable packaging materials and processing technologies to support customers in designing environmentally conscious packaging. Moving forward, we remain committed to developing advanced packaging solutions and innovative wood-derived materials, thereby contributing to a more sustainable society.
