buoy株式会社

Kanagawa / Yokohama

A sustainable OEM/ODM partner that collects, sorts, washes, and forms ocean plastic into products carrying a brand story. Operating from Yokohama, buoy transforms the color, origin, and recovery background of marine-collected plastic into a "material identity" — a unique process that goes far beyond standard recycled plastics. Capabilities span heat-press molding, NFC chip embedding, and metal die forming. Collaboration history includes MUSASHI JAPAN, Taisei Corporation, Kyushu Sangyo University, and Shabon-dama Soap, demonstrating strength in CSR-driven, community-linked, and institutional partnerships. An official OEM/ODM page is publicly available, making buoy among the most accessible candidates for external product development inquiries.
