Thoughts from the
birth of MUJI

Since MUJI was founded in 1980, we’ve been manufacturing from three perspectives: "Selection of Materials", "Review of Processes" and "Simplification of Packaging". We choose materials that take into account the global environment and producers, eliminate waste in all processes, and provide customers with what they really need in the form they really need.

MUJI was born of an unwavering mindfulness towards the allure of the natural, delivering functional basic necessities in life without the frills and excess packaging - in genuine colours, in natural materials, in unbleached papers and cloth.

A multipurpose eco-bag made from undyed jute while maintaining the natural look. Not skimping on comfort, the handle uses a cushioned core material that is comfortable for both shoulder carrying and hand holding, while the wide opening allows for more storage capacity.

A natural material harvested from India, jute is an environmentally friendly and fast growing plant that absorbs a great deal of carbon dioxide. Known for its extreme durability, jute have been used as an ideal material for grain sacks, rugs, and other products since a long time ago.

Moving to Paper Packaging

With the aim of recycling global resources and reducing waste, we are gradually reviewing the materials used for product packaging, and working on the reduction of plastic material consumption in various ways, beginning with a shift to paper packaging. Hooks and hangers for garment accessories such as socks, stoles and belts have since been replaced with paper material. We will continue to review other product range to be packaged in an eco-friendly method as well.
