Technology development that helps achieve SDGs
We aim to establish technologies geared for a recycling-oriented society, using open innovation in addition to our core technologies.
(Examples of initiatives)
As part of our technology development that will facilitate sustainable production activities, we are working to reduce waste generated at our production plants, collect and reuse valuable materials, and collect and reuse CO2 exhaust gas.
Moreover, in the field of heat recovery, we will supply high-performance heat storage materials that are helpful for systems that efficiently utilize waste heat generated at power generation facilities and factory facilities in various situations such as drying, air conditioning, and food cultivation.
