Plastic Reduction, Biomass
Plastic reduction problem, originating from marine plastic waste, is now a common major issue worldwide. In response, we are developing environmentally friendly products that reduce burdens by reducing plastics, such as developing paper products with the same function as film, biomass plastic products, and composite materials of biodegradable plastic and cellulose.
