EmBalance Plastics Keep Freshness

Introducing a new plastic material that utilizes the efficacy of EM

“Embalance” is a new plastic that the efficacy of EM is applied by using the theory of hydrothermal science. This is the first product made of the innovative plastic material. After trial and error, it first appeared as a polyethylene bag. When I added vegetables and fruits to this first prototype, and conducted a comparative experiment on the change in freshness, it showed a wonderful result: the food in the Embalance bag was much fresher, and lasted longer than that of the other regular bags. I also felt that not only the freshness but also the taste better, changing from being “rough” to “mellow.” It was as if the foods were happy. The Embalance was born there. Like wood or cloth products, it is a new plastic that can be used with a “Mottainai spirit”. (Developer: Katsuhisa Masumoto)
