Contribute to a carbon-neutral society simply by placing this product on your mattress
Archem Inc. launches D-sleep Eco, which achieves a combination of environmental friendliness and comfortable sleep, by adopting its first palm-derived material

Archem Inc. (based in Minato-ku, and headed by Satoru Kusano, Global CEO; hereinafter referred to as “Archem”), which manufactures and sells urethane products, has launched D-sleep Eco, which provides the same feel as existing products*1 while being environmentally conscious, by employing Archem’s first palm-derived material. D-sleep Eco is available on Archem’s website from June 5th, 2024 onwards.

     

D-sleep Eco has launched a new product in the D-sleep series, which is used on top of your mattress. This product employs Archem’s first palm-derived material. Although there is only a limited number of plant-derived industrial products available around the world, Archem is contributing to a carbon-neutral society by compounding palm-derived polyol during manufacturing to reduce effective CO2 emissions from manufacturing caused by incineration. You can be environmentally aware while enjoying a comfortable sleep by simply placing this product on your mattress.

Since people around the world are increasingly paying attention to being environmentally aware and to carbon neutrality, Archem is also actively making efforts as a urethane manufacturer by considering the application of this plant material to a variety of products in the future. We will continue our research and development in order to enhance customer comfort and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
