Simply put “Sentaku Magchan(R)” in your washing machine and the magnesium will react with the water to produce weakly alkaline water. By using “Sentaku Magchan(R)”, we aim to reduce laundry wastewater pollution. Launched in 2024, “Sentaku Magchan with Pieclex” uses plant-derived fiber Pieclex for the bag.

When the fibers move with human movement, they generate a weak electricity, providing antibacterial effects*4. Furthermore, Pieclex is made from polylactic acid, a bioplastic derived from plants such as corn and sugar cane, and is biodegradable*1, meaning it can be broken down by microorganisms. In addition, collection through our recycling infrastructure “P-FACTS” allows for an environmentally friendly circulation. This means that you can experience technology while contributing to the environment just by wearing it.
