The Ganko Honpo Millennium Bottle Pump Style (Empty Glass Bottle) is named "Millennium Bottle" with the hope that it will be cherished and used carefully for 1,000 years.
Please note:
- If dropped, it will break.
- If knocked over, it will leak.
- The screw attachment of the pump is tight.
Enjoy an eco-friendly lifestyle with this uniquely designed glass bottle.
A life that is slow, small, simple, long-lasting, joyful, and naturally brings a smile.
Because life is limited, we choose to recognize coexistence and diversity beyond SDGs, and to live peacefully respecting each individual.

The word "sustainable" was first used in a report by the United Nations' "Special Committee on Environment and Development." In 1987, how old were you? Or how many years before you were born? Unfortunately, the harvested fruits were few, but please know that discussions on sustainability by environmental activists had been ongoing for quite some time. Sustainability is not just a trendy word.

Ganko Honpo stopped using PET bottles that could be used for 10 years as containers for their main laundry detergents and chose glass bottles instead! 【Glass bottles】 will break if dropped.
They will leak if knocked over. Because they are heavy, they cannot be held with one hand. However, if used carefully, they can last for 1,000 years. Glassware has been made since the 16th century BC.

Hoping that this civilization will still exist 1,000 years into the future, we decided to start doing what we can for our descendants. The petroglyph-like prints of forests, water, and fish symbolize the biodiversity of this planet. We sincerely hope that these bottles will be used continuously for 1,000 years and beyond.
◆ About the 3021 Future and the Release of the Bottle
A major climate change must have struck the Earth. The Tokyo Skytree buried in sand is tilted.
Of course, the "humanity" that built this civilization is no longer visible. Who will be the next to pick up this glass bottle made by humans?
(Will it be a hand holding large scissors? A hand like an octopus tentacle? A hand with suction cups? A hairy hand? Or something with wings?)
How could this have been avoided?
Since when, and who should have done what?
To prevent such scenarios from becoming reality, we want everyone to talk about it now!
<Ganko Honpo>
Based in Chigasaki, Shonan, and led by representative "Kimuchin" (Masahiro Kimura), a former professional climber and Tokyo University of Agriculture graduate who has been involved in nature conservation activities since 1976.
He has stood on the peaks of the Himalayas twice.
In 1992, to continue and support his environmental protection activities, he began developing and manufacturing household products that improve water environments.
In 1999, inspired by marine tanker accident response research, he created the world's first single-rinse laundry detergent.
Starting with flea markets, it became a long-hit product, with total sales exceeding 1 million bottles (equivalent to about one month’s worth of laundry for 40 washes).
Currently, the company has a well-equipped lab and manufacturing facilities near Fukuoka City, focusing on research for next-generation detergents and maintaining high-quality production systems.
*The "Beach Money" that turned beach cleanups into a fun activity was born from Ganko Honpo’s office in Chigasaki.
They are known as a "detergent company that makes efforts not to sell detergents."
Specializing in development with a small team, mainly in chemical fields.
Their sales staff only follow up with business partners; they do not sell retail directly.
The company continues to operate as a manufacturer and wholesaler, with no retail sales.
Principally, ingredients are combinations of sustainable natural extracts or naturally derived components.
While using cultivated crops is not necessarily preferred, it is allowed.
However, they are not strictly bound by this; they focus on addressing the core environmental issues.
If expressed in color, it’s like gradually fading from black to approaching white—perhaps a company that is a shade of gray very close to white.
