Reusing Newspaper into a Bag


Shimanto Dorama Co., Ltd. (Japan)

This unique bag was first made by a local company to pack souvenir by reusing local newspapers, just a small eco-friendly idea.
However an American buyer was interested in this paper bag as a product and developed a sales route to museums and shops in the US. Now the idea of folding reused paper into such a strong bag, and the unique design of local Japanese newspaper is a big hit in Europe too. ORIGAMI (folding paper to create shapes) techniques are original to Japan.
