Yokohama's "Canna Shaved Tree Straw" SDGs Straw Yokohama will be offered at city hotels!

Yokohama City is promoting initiatives in cooperation with citizens, companies, universities, etc., centered on the Yokohama SDGs Design Center (hereinafter referred to as the "Design Center"), with the aim of realizing "SDGs Future City, Yokohama".
The Design Center uses thinned wood from water source forests owned by Yokohama City in Michishi Village, Yamanashi Prefecture as a raw material, and is promoting the spread and expansion of Yokohama's "canna cut wood straw" made by people with disabilities at special subsidiaries of city companies. Quality control is carried out by Acura Home Co., Ltd., which developed this straw.
In this initiative, we aim not only to combat plastic waste, but also to integrate environmental, economic and social issues aimed at by the SDGs Future City, Yokohama, and to establish a lifestyle conscious of the SDGs.
Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers (Kitayuki, Nishi-ku, Yokohama), who supported the purpose of this initiative, has started offering this straw at a restaurant in the hotel on February 5th.
The Design Center will continue to spread and expand this straw to restaurants and hotels, including the city, as the Yokohama Wood Straw Project, and promote the SDGs through the realization and experience of citizens and businesses. I will try to spread it.
