Keywords: Food Manufacturing industry Reduce / Reuse / Recycle 

On March 26, 2007, Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd., a leading food manufacturer in Japan, began the sale of "Cup Noodle Refill Starter Pack" at stores throughout the Kanto Area and by mail order. The pack includes a refill for Cup Noodle, a refill for Seafood Noodle, and an original cup exclusively for refill dubbed "My Noodle Cup." The product is the first of an environment friendly product series to be released by the company under the slogan "Enjoy eating in an eco-friendly style."

Taking advantage of its accumulated knowledge and technology, Nissin has reduced the volume of the new product by 20 percent over its conventional cup noodle without altering the taste. Soup and ingredients are the same as before.

My Noodle Cup is reusable. The cup is placed upside down over a refill container, and is then inverted so that the dry noodles in the container fall into the cup. Hot water is poured into the cup as usual, and the cup of noodles is then ready for eating.

The products will sell for (tax excluded) 122 yen (U.S.$ 1.03) for the Cup Noodle and Seafood Noodle Refills, and 570 yen (U.S.$ 4.79) for the Cup Noodle Refill Starter Pack.
