J-OIL MILLS Launches Fifth 'JOYL Green Project®' to Support Environmental Conservation

J-OIL MILLS (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yuichiro Haruyama) will launch the 'JOYL Green Project®' in late May 2026, donating a portion of sales from its 'Smart Green Pack®' edible oil series to environmental conservation efforts. This marks the fifth year of the project, which began in 2022. Donations will support marine and river conservation activities focused on reducing marine plastic waste, managed by the non-profit organization JEAN.

The company’s vision, 'Joy for Life®,' includes commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and utilizing sustainable resources. Aiming for 'zero plastic waste' by fiscal year 2030, the company introduced paper-based edible oil packaging in August 2021, which reduces plastic usage by over 60% and CO2 emissions by over 26%. The 'Smart Green Pack®' series is also part of the Ministry of the Environment's 'Plastic Smart' campaign.

Proceeds from sales will support efforts to combat marine pollution and climate change caused by plastic waste. The company continues to prioritize lowering environmental impact and contributing to a circular society.
