&tDisp=In 1997, the Green Life 21 project began developing a system of Recycled Tableware based on collaboration, experiment and research to make the whole process of ceramics more environmentally friendly.

Re-shokki ceramic tableware, designed by Yoshikazu Hasegawa and Nobuo Sato is manufactured as part of Japan's first 'resources circulation system', a collaboration of 32 local companies linked through an integrated recycling and manufacturing network. One Dish Aid, designed by Yoshikazu Hasegawa, is a confectionery container also made from Re-tableware material and is Japan's first product incorporating a deposit system for container reuse, replacing disposable containers.

Oliva, dinnerware designed by Prue Venables for simple elegance, fine food and good company was produced in conjunction with the Oribe Design Centre. Oliva, One Dish Aid and Re-shokki, all consider design strategies to improve usable product life, wash ability and service.&
