UNICHARM CORPORATION <8113> rebounded. On the 19th, the company announced that it will sequentially launch "MamyPoko Pants ReFFF (Leaf)", recycled from used disposable diapers, at 42 AEON and AEON Style stores starting from the 21st. This marks an expansion of the sales area for recycled products in the diaper category, which typically uses petroleum-derived materials. The move was perceived as reducing the risk of sales decline due to raw material supply constraints, leading to buying dominance. After the close of trading on the 18th, the Nikkei online edition reported that "Unicharm will increase production of recycled diapers by 1.6 times."
