ReMaterial

Products Made from Recycled Materials

Along with recycling, we are using renewable materials and reducing the amount of new plastics in our products.​

  • Palm in Shaver​
  • Technics EAH-AZ80​
Plastic alternatives such as utilizing ocean minerals, along with a compact design, reduces the overall amount of plastics used. Plastic-free packaging utilizing materials with minimal environmental impact.​
kinari

kinari™

Sustainable, plant-based material that is highly recyclable and does not lose strength during material recycling.​

Cellulose-based material with excellent elasticity, durability, and flexibility to add color. Reduces use of petroleum by 55-70%.

As part of a circular product life cycle, our target is for kinari to be 100% biodegradable.​
