Sustainable Forest Management
The Oji Group owns and manages extensive forests in Japan and overseas. In addition to cultivating
renewable resources, we are working to take full advantage of the multifunctionality of forests while providing society with ecological services by practicing sustainable forest management that is conscious of environmental, social, and economic concerns.
Circular Use of Renewable Resources
The Oji Group is actively engaged in the cultivation, procurement, and cascading use of renewable forest resources. We are also engaged in expanding the recycling of paper, which is used repeatedly as recovered paper, to effectively use the valuable resources generated within the market. At the same time, we are establishing a system for reducing the amount of water used by circulating and reusing water that is essential to paper manufacturing.
Creating Sustainable Value
The Oji Group is working to resolve a variety of social issues through the creation of new value. To this end, not sticking solely to pulp, paper, and paperboard manufacturing, we are engaging in the research and development of cellulose nanofibers (CNF), an area where we are searching for new applications for products and encouraging the practical use of CNF products. We are also researching and developing wood-derived sugar solutions and ethanol, which are key substances in biomanufacturing, and pharmaceuticals using sulfated hemicellulose, a by-product of pulp manufacturing.
