Innovative Environmental Protection: Handa Industries's Green Technology Practices


Scientific research confirms that microplastics have invaded human arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality by 4.53 times. In response to this global environmental threat, Handa Industries, in collaboration with Donghua University, conducted technical research to transform used lunch boxes into ultra-fine polypropylene fibers, successfully developing the first low-carbon fabric made from recycled lunch boxes. This fabric reduces carbon emissions by 73% compared to virgin materials, not only creating a high-value recycling path for takeout lunch boxes but also enabling the production of quick-drying T-shirts and marathon capes, completing the closed-loop transformation from "plastic waste → eco-friendly fabric → practical apparel." This innovative achievement was also published in the prestigious journal Nature.
