A collaboration model with the "ONGAESHI Project" that upcycles paper cranes

What is the "ONGAESHI Project"?

The "ONGAESHI Project" is an initiative started in 2011 by Camino Co., Ltd., an environmentally friendly materials manufacturer. Every year, about 10 million paper cranes (weighing about 10 tons) are donated from all over the world to Hiroshima alone, with wishes for peace in mind.
The ONGAESHI Project is an initiative that does not simply store these paper cranes, but instead recycles them into new products and uses them in peace education activities, as a way of expressing gratitude for the gifts of the cranes.

As a Hiroshima company, Spingle was deeply sympathetic to this initiative and approached the project to express its interest in participating in the project and creating products, which led to the realization of this collaborative project.

Development took about a year! Canvas fabric made from recycled origami crane yarn

First of all, how do we reuse origami cranes? We recycle them into thread for folding fabric. This thread is then stripped of any foreign matter, such as thread and beads, other than the paper used to make the cranes, to produce recycled origami crane thread. Because this recycled origami crane thread is extremely delicate, it was extremely difficult to turn it into canvas fabric and turn it into a product.
Despite many failures, with the cooperation of a fabric manufacturer in the Bingo region of Hiroshima, just like Spingle, they were able to complete an original canvas fabric after about a year, using recycled origami crane paper for the weft and cotton for the warp.

The SPM-1005 is a recycled origami crane model that embodies a prayer for peace.

The "SPM-1005 Kinari" is a sustainable product that is imbued with prayers for peace. We hope you will take a look at it.
