"Reduce" waste. "Reuse" products. "Recycle" once more as source material. Use environmentally friendly technologies (materials).

KING JIM works on creating products that further reduce the burden on the environment by introducing environmentally friendly technologies and materials and following the 3R principles [Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle].
Files feature a durable cover and a replaceable spine label, so it's a long life. We are making refinements to enhance the durability of “TEPRA” tape and reduce unnecessary blank space when printing labels. This eco-friendly, simple packaging product lessens waste by reducing individual packaging. We collect used “TEPRA” PRO tape cartridges to reduce waste. The cover and the binding of an old file can be separated and then combined with separately sold "Storage binding" and "Replacement cover." "TEPRA" PRO tape cartridges are designed to be reusable. Our company collects and disassembles old cartridges and inspects and reuses the parts. We select paper and plastic materials (components) in consideration of the recycling rate. We collect used "TEPRA" PRO tape cartridges from the market, recycle them with recycling technology, and then use them efficiently as new source materials. We use cardboard not only for packaging boxes of electronic products but also for cushioning materials so that our entire packaging unit can be made from a single material and easily recycled. In order to make it easier to separate and recycle the individual materials when disposing of used products, plastic parts used in electronic products and some files are engraved with information on the material properties. Some electronic products, such as the "TEPRA" main unit and "TEPRA" tape cartridges, are developed using parts that comply with the RoHS directive.
* The RoHS Directive regulates the use of specified hazardous substances (10 substances) contained in electrical and electronic equipment used in the EU (European Union). For "KING FILE" metal bindings, we are working towards adopting a metal surface treatment method with a low environmental impact while maintaining the same quality as conventional products. KING JIM has defined its standards for environmental consideration categories at each stage of production, use, and disposal of its products. Our comprehensive catalog uses an "Environmental Mark" to designate products and make it easy to understand a product's environmental information. We strive to save resources by using recycled paper and recycled plastic as the main components of our products. Environmental considerations are an integral part of our product planning and design. We design our products so that parts of old products can be "reused" and develop them so that individual parts can be replaced and have a "long life." We respond to our customers' "environmental considerations" while they use our products. For disposal, it is important that the materials can be separated and are free of harmful substances. For used “TEPRA” PRO tape cartridges, KING JIM also has its collection system to reduce waste. * "Environmental Mark" is a registered trademark of KING JIM.
The official name of the Act on Promoting Green Procurement is "The Act on Promotion of Procurement of Eco-Friendly Goods and Services by the State and Other Entities." The purpose of this Act is to build a sustainable society by fully taking into account the necessity of purchase and considering not only price, quality, convenience, and design but also environmental protection and prioritizing the purchase of goods with the smallest possible environmental impact (= Green Procurement) when purchasing goods or services.
National institutions, local governments, businesses, citizens, and manufacturers are obligated to promote the procurement and purchase of goods with low environmental impact. The Act on Promoting Green Procurement specifies “Specific Procurement Items.” Among our products, mainly, "KING FILE"s, etc., in the category "Specific Procurement Items: Files, binders, filing supplies" and "TEPRA" PRO tape cartridges, etc., in the category "Specific Procurement Items: Cassettes for tape printing machines" are registered as products that conform to the criteria of the Act on Promoting Green Procurement. Even if not included in one of these categories, we strive to provide environmentally friendly products such as Eco Mark products. In addition, some of our PP holders also use recycled plastic and have obtained the Eco Mark.

KING JIM continues to work on developing environmentally friendly products.
