Development of low-carbon materials "Product name: Bamboo Plastic"
Introduction to low-carbon material development (bamboo plastic).
At NIPPO'S Co., Ltd., we are developing low-carbon materials, specifically a product named bamboo plastic. While there have been past achievements in bamboo plastic by other companies, the current situation is that prototypes for miscellaneous goods or development has halted due to issues such as the specification level of bamboo fibers (gray area), unstable procurement, and inappropriate bamboo costs. Since autumn 2012, Nippo Shimane has started mass production prototypes. As of now, we have successfully created a compound with a bamboo ratio of 35%. In the future, we aim to achieve a biomass grade with a ratio of 51%. [Development Status] - Since March 2009, we have been holding meetings with local foundations and bamboo suppliers to align the level of bamboo powder and establish quality specifications, as well as to confirm the mass production capability of bamboo micro-pulverization. - We have repeatedly conducted prototypes by mechanically designing the drying technique and the extrusion fusion with resin, and developed the equipment. The first machine was installed in August 2012. - Mass production prototypes began in autumn 2012. - Technical performance in the industry: - July 2012 (Denso Headquarters, Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture) - July 2012 (Medical Device Exhibition, Tokyo Big Sight), among others.
