In July 2023, Tokan Kogyo Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tokan Kogyo"), a consolidated subsidiary of Toyo Seikan Group Holdings Ltd., will replace all ink used for the gravure printing of paper cups produced in Japan with biomass ink, which partially uses renewable plant-based materials, with the aim of reducing environmental impact.
