The "PLASTICITY" tote made from unique materials with different facial expressions and textures was very popular last year!This year, we are considering selling shoulder bags, etc. that can be easily used when going out with the tag of metsä's original new brand "Ethical Choice" that takes the global environment into consideration.

<Comment by Yohei Horiike, President and CEO of Mondo Design Co., Ltd.>
Many people who like Moominvalley Park will strongly sympathize with the effort to use things carefully. I feel that many people are sympathetic to the culture of using furniture, etc. originally owned by the creator of "Moomin" in Scandinavia for a long time, so this part is also related to the efforts to reuse vinyl umbrellas. I think there are many.
In advancing product development, it is important to use vinyl umbrellas as thoroughly as possible, and to make products that you actually want to use in terms of quality and design.
In the future, I hope that upcycling products will become more common than "rare products." I hope that the products of "PLASTICITY" will give you an opportunity to realize that you can use them in this way, and by using the products, you may be interested in plastic problems, or you may disassemble the umbrella instead of just disassembling it and then throw it away. I hope it will be a product that will trigger it.
PLASTICITY will be a brand jointly developed by creator Akiki Saito, who started selling in April 2020, and Mondo Design Co., Ltd., and all products will be discarded or stored as forgotten items and then finally discarded. We recycle all vinyl umbrellas.In order to make the best use of the characteristics of the material of the umbrella such as waterproofness and maintainability, we have developed a unique processing method that presses multiple layers as it is.Furthermore, by creating a rainy look in the processing process, a product with a unique texture not found in other products has been completed.

Surrounded by the rich natural environment of forests and lakes, metsä is a facility for ethical and sustainable efforts that symbolize the global environment, people, society, regions, biodiversity and SDGs. I thought it was indispensable as an identity of.
Comprehensive efforts to develop in-facility production environments, foods, products, materials, and services based on ethical and sustainable choices (selection) that are not limited to those that do not place a burden on the human body or the environment and are tangible and intangible. Will be accompanied by the "Ethical Choice" logo.
