TBM Japan

TBM Co., Ltd. is a Japanese company that has developed and manufactures LIMEX, a new material primarily made from limestone. This material serves as an alternative to paper and plastic, aiming to reduce the consumption of water and forest resources, as well as petroleum-based plastics.

The company's business model is centered around sustainability and the circular economy. TBM operates the Yokosuka Circular Factory, which is designed to recycle used LIMEX products and plastics. The company's vision is to establish a global circular model, with a goal to circulate one million tons of LIMEX and plastics across 50 countries by 2030.

TBM's product, LIMEX, is promoted for its ecological benefits. For example, producing one ton of LIMEX can save approximately 20 tons of water and 0.6-0.8 tons of pulp compared to traditional paper manufacturing. The company is expanding its operations both domestically and internationally to promote the adoption of its sustainable materials.
