The product is called One Planet Paper®. It is used in a wide range of products including business cards, wrapping paper, paper hangers, paper bags and university graduation certificates. It is currently available in 20 countries.
Our story
The name One Planet Café refers to the ‘one Earth’ where people and living creatures coexist. The name One Planet Café also expresses the desire to ‘go from a modern lifestyle, which is said to use more than the equivalent of one planet's worth of resources, to one planet's worth’. We connect with the world and create exciting businesses and partnerships between Japan, Europe and Africa within the scope of ‘one Earth’.
We currently have offices in Japan (Tokyo), Sweden (Gotland) and Zambia (South Luangwa), and in October 2016 we obtained the international fair trade certification - WFTO. In 2020, we were recognised as one of 15 good practice companies working on the SDGs through a project of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The business itself has also adopted the SDGs and focuses on sustainability management, including renewable energy, gender equality, sustainability education for employees and diversity.

Mission
To create businesses that contribute to sustainability based on environmental cycles.
Value
