SDGs-Supporting Products and Services
Carbon Offsets
Carbon offset systems have become an important topic in the approach to global warming. As part of our effort to cut greenhouse gas emission, Obun applies a carbon-offset printing service that effectively brings our net CO2 emissions to zero—good news for customers who are also concerned about the environment.
FSC-Certified Paper ｜Ecofriendly print paper
Obun supports the work of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and we print FSC trademarks on any of our products that use FSC-certified paper. By combining our carbon offset efforts with our use of FCS-certified paper, we can contribute significantly to our customer’s environmental and SDG activities.
LL Books ｜Easy reading
LL books are for readers who may have trouble with standard books—perhaps because they are not native in the language, or perhaps a result of limited reading skills. You can explore and order LL books through the Heartful Books web service, available at this portal: http://heartfulbook.jp
nu board and disposable paper ｜ecofriendly products
Varnish used for the disposable paper in these products is completely non-toxic.
These products are very ecofriendly; continue using them for many write and erase cycles, and—when the time comes—dispose of them as normal burnable waste.
