The lint roller (tape cleaner), a common household item, is typically made of plastic, which, once discarded, contributes to environmental pollution and carbon emissions. Though small in size, these everyday products impose a heavy burden on the planet.

To address this issue, arlt developed the world’s first tape cleaner made entirely of 100% paper components. Using patented technology, it employs high-density polymer material extracted from sugarcane and bamboo, ensuring both strength and flexibility while remaining biodegradable and significantly reducing carbon emissions. The natural texture of paper offers durability, cushioning, and water resistance, ensuring a sustainable yet differentiated user experience from conventional products.

This product illustrates how small actions in daily life can drive significant environmental change. Each arlt tape cleaner reduces approximately 133 grams of carbon emissions. From material exploration to design and production, the brand draws inspiration from the order and rhythm of nature, positioning itself as a premium lifestyle brand that fuses technology with design.

Through plastic-free household products, arlt promotes the circular economy and introduces a new consumer culture that combines sustainability with design. With a vision for global scalability, it looks forward to establishing itself an eco-friendly yet refined lifestyle brand for the future.
