2. © TBM Co., Ltd. 2 Plant Tags Note: These are approximate values based on estimates and are not guaranteed. The figures may change depending on the status of data acquisition, etc. Because the calculation and data collection methods differ, they cannot be directly compared with other companies’ products. [Calculation method]・Life cycle inventory・Inventory database: LCI database IDEA version 3.2 (2023/04/15), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Research Institute for Safe and Sustainable Chemistry, IDEA Lab・Impact assessment method: Climate change IPCC 2013 GWP 100a. [Calculation conditions] ・The proposed product is LIMEX Sheet 200 µm, and the general plastic product used for comparison is assumed to be PET 200 µm. ・Scope: [Raw material procurement] → [Sheet manufacturing] → [Disposal (incineration)] *The illuminated sheet manufacturing process, printing process, and transportation process are not included. ・Manufacturing conditions are based on TBM factory performance for 2024–2025.・Electricity used: LIMEX is assumed to use electricity effectively 100% derived from renewable energy, while general products are assumed to use Japan’s average electricity mix. Low cost with vivid colors. Plant tags that make plants look even more beautiful. Raw Material Final Product By incorporating low-cost limestone, we are able to offer products at a lower price than conventional synthetic paper and plastic products. 34% 27% CO2 Environmental products are often perceived as very expensive. Cost reduction thanks to its limestone content. Thanks to its limestone content, plastic and CO2 are reduced Exploring initiatives for plastic reduction and decarbonization. Compared with conventional synthetic paper labels, it can reduce the use of petroleum-based plastics and greenhouse gas emissions including CO₂ over the entire life cycle. Better Eye-Catching Performance Crisp and vivid printing with excellent color reproduction. It offers a premium, high-quality feel and outstanding color reproduction. LIMEX Plant Tags
