This spatula, available exclusively in Japan, is made from 100% recycled aluminum from retired Tokaido Shinkansen trains. It can be used to scoop cream-type products. A uniquely Japanese initiative, the use of recycled Shinkansen aluminum was made possible through a mutual support from the Central Japan Railway Company, which promotes environmental conservation and resource efficiency, and The Body Shop, which has engaged in numerous sustainable activities. Dimensions (approx.): Length 12cm x Width 1.8cm x Thickness 0.2cm. About Tokaido Shinkansen recycled aluminum: Aluminum material recycling was made possible by successfully developing a method to remove deposits from aluminum used in Tokaido Shinkansen trains and extract only the high-purity aluminum alloy. Compared to producing new aluminum, this method requires less energy, resulting in a 97% reduction in CO2 emissions and a reduced environmental impact.
