What is PANECO®?

PANECO® is a circular material business platform

developed in Japan to solve a global structural problem.

Every year, more than 92 million tons of textile and fashion waste

are generated worldwide.

Most of it is still landfilled or incinerated.

Very little is designed to return to material value.

This is not an environmental side issue.

It is a structural failure of the global textile, retail, and fashion system.

PANECO® was created to redesign that structure.

What PANECO® does

PANECO® transforms discarded textiles into durable boards used for

retail fixtures, furniture, interiors, and products.

But PANECO® is not defined by the first use.

Its true value lies in the fact that

every board is designed from the beginning

to be collected, reprocessed, and re-boarded after use.

Waste → Board → Furniture & Spaces → Collect → Re-board

This is not recycling for disposal.

This is material circulation built into the business model.

 

One clear definition

PANECO® is not a sustainable material.

It is a circular material business system.

 

Why PANECO® for Sales Partners

PANECO® is not an experiment.

It is designed to become a standard material business.

At EuroShop 2026, we are presenting PANECO®

to retailers, designers, and material decision-makers from around the world,

and inviting selected partners to build local markets together.

 

A global problem creates a global market

Textile waste is increasing every year.

At the same time:

Regulations are tightening worldwide.

Brands face mandatory circular and ESG requirements.

Retailers and developers must demonstrate credible action.

This pressure is structural, irreversible, and global.

PANECO® converts this pressure

into clear, sellable market demand.

 

You sell value, not boards

With PANECO®, you are not selling panels.

You are offering:

A textile waste solution, not a product.

A circular material narrative brands must adopt.

A practical alternative to disposal and incineration.

That is why PANECO® reaches

decision-makers across sustainability, design, procurement, and management.

 

Built for real business, not trials

Many recycled materials fail because:

Quality is unstable.

Supply cannot scale.

The business collapses after pilot projects.

PANECO® was designed to avoid these failures.

Manufactured in Japan with centralized quality control.

Stable specifications suitable for retail, furniture, and interiors.

Designed for repeat use and re-boarding.

Proven as a system, not a prototype.

 

No manufacturing risk for partners

As a PANECO® sales partner:

You do not invest in factories.

You do not manage production.

You focus entirely on sales, projects, and market development.

Manufacturing, quality control, and circular design

remain centralized in Japan.

This allows partners to scale

without operational or capital risk.

 

Business Model

Japanese manufacturing excellence

combined with partner-led global expansion.

 

1. Manufacturing & Quality Control

All PANECO® boards are manufactured in Japan.

Centralized production ensures:

Stable quality.

Consistent specifications.

Reliable supply.

Circular design and re-boarding are managed centrally.

Partners sell with confidence,

without production uncertainty.

 

2. Sales & Market Development

Sales partners are responsible for:

Local sales and business development.

Project coordination with brands, designers,

interior and furniture companies.

Building long-term client relationships.

Partners focus on market creation,

not factory operations.

 

3. Inventory-Based Business

To operate as a real business, inventory is essential.

International shipping requires lead time.

Without inventory, opportunities are lost.

Inventory enables speed, reliability, and trust.

Partners start with minimum inventory for market entry,

then optimize inventory levels as demand grows.

Inventory is not a cost.

It is an investment in market ownership.

 

4. Step-by-Step Scaling

PANECO® is designed to scale logically:

Start with early adopters.

Establish market credibility.

Expand handling volume progressively.

This balances risk control and long-term growth.

 

5. Performance-Based Exclusivity

Country or regional exclusivity may be granted.

Exclusivity is based on annual handling volume.

The first year is treated as a market launch phase.

Exclusivity is maintained through performance.

Exclusivity is earned by building the market.

Early partners will help define local standards

and secure long-term market leadership.

 

6. Circular Return Flow

After use, PANECO® boards are:

Collected and temporarily stored locally.

Returned to Japan once sufficient volume is accumulated.

Re-boarded and reintroduced into the market.

This creates a continuous value loop,

not a one-time transaction.

 

Primary Applications

Retail fixtures and shelving.

Flagship stores and department stores.

Commercial and hotel interiors.

Exhibitions and pop-up spaces.

Furniture.

Products and brand collaborations.

 

Partners We Seek

We are looking for partners who:

View circular materials as infrastructure, not a trend.

Have experience in retail, furniture, interiors, or materials.

Want to build long-term market leadership.

 

Apply as an Overseas Sales Partner

If you want to establish

a serious circular material business

in your market, we invite you to apply.

who want to lead this transformation

in their own markets.
