stationery Evaluation Criteria
With the exception of metals, the primary material must meet, of the criteria below, 1 for plastic, 2 for wood, and 3 for
paper. In addition, items whose secondary material includes wood must meet 2. Items whose secondary material include
paper with the exception of virgin pulp manufactured with lumber obtained from thinning, or with recycled wood pieces
obtained from plywood or lumber factories must meet 3b. This does not apply to virgin pulp manufactured with lumber
obtained from thinning, or virgin pulp manufactured by using recycled wood pieces obtained from plywood or lumber
factories, material left over from forestry, or lumber with small diameter.

Recycled plastic makes up no less than 40 in weight of the total plastic used.
2 Lumber obtained from thinning, recycled wood pieces
obtained from plywood or lumber factories, or lumber used as raw material that is in compliance with the regulations
concerning forestry in its country of origin. The pulpwood used is to be in compliance with the regulations concerning
forestry in its country or geographical area of origin.
3 Must fulfill the following.
a. At least 50 recycled pulp content.
b. If virgin pulp is used as the raw material for
paper, the pulpwood used is to be in compliance with the regulations concerning forestry in its
country or geographical area of origin. This does not apply to virgin pulp manufactured with
lumber obtained from thinning, or virgin pulp manufactured by using recycled wood pieces
obtained from plywood or lumber factories material left over from forestry, or lumber with
small diameter.
Factors for Consideration 1The recycled pulp content and recycled plastic content is as
high as possible. 2Organic solvent, or paint with as low odor as possible is used
as coating. 3If the primary material is wood, lumber that is used as the
raw material is to be obtained from a forest that is conducting a sustainable operation. Lumber obtained from
thinning, or recycled wood pieces obtained from plywood or lumber factories are to be excluded.
4If the primary material is paper, and furthermore, if virgin
19 pulp is used, pulpwood that is used as the raw material is to be
obtained from a forest that is conducting a sustainable operation. This does not apply to virgin pulp manufactured
with lumber obtained from thinning, or virgin pulp manufactured by using recycled wood pieces obtained from
plywood or lumber factories, material left over from forestry, or lumber with small diameter.5Packaging and stowage is
to be as simple as possible and take into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental impact upon disposal.
