LIMEX – Sustainable material, that looks delicious
LIMEX is a sustainable alternative to paper and plastic, which is mainly made of limestone.
LIMEX is an inorganic filler dispersion type composite material, that contains 50% or more of inorganic substances such as calcium carbonate. Born in Japan, LIMEX is a material that can be recycled (in Japan) by moulding plastic and paper substitute products using limestone as the main raw material.
Superiority of limestone (environmental performance).
Compared to petroleum-derived plastics, limestone can reduce CO2 emissions at the raw material procurement stage by about 50 times.
- LIMEX Sheet can reduce CO2 emissions during combustion by about 58% compared to petroleum-derived plastics.
- LIMEX Sheet can reduce the amount of water used by about 96% compared to paper.
- Since the main raw material of LIMEX Sheet is limestone, it is resistant to aging and lasts a long time.
