SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable products that return to nature.
Our promise to you
Re-Shell Co., Ltd. is committed not only to product development but also to business activities driven by the determination to protect the environment itself. At the core of this approach is our concept of "Nature-Positive Management." This represents a new way of doing business, contributing to the conservation and restoration of natural capital while achieving both corporate growth and the creation of social value.
Our cleaning products are made with 100% naturally derived ingredients and are designed to be biodegradable and environmentally friendly. In addition, some products have obtained certification from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) under MARPOL Annex II Convention for tank cleaning additives, demonstrating environmental performance that meets global standards.
Cleaning is not just about "removing dirt", it is about "not polluting the future."
To bring this vision to life, Re-Shell Co., Ltd. continues to pursue initiatives throughout the entire product lifecycle, aiming for a circular society and one that coexists harmoniously with nature.
