[Column] What is the problem of "neglected bamboo groves"? The difficulty of eradication and the path to a solution.

Currently, the areas troubled by bamboo groves that are spreading into forests and satoyama woodlands are expanding.

Currently, the areas troubled by bamboo groves spreading into forests and satoyama (traditional rural woodlands) are expanding. It has become a significant issue, as trees in forests invaded by bamboo are dying. However, why is the maintenance of bamboo groves not progressing well? Behind this lies a lack of knowledge about the characteristics of bamboo and appropriate eradication methods. This lack of information hinders maintenance efforts and exacerbates the bamboo grove problem. Now, let’s explain the current situation and issues regarding bamboo groves. **[Increase of Bamboo Groves in Japan and Their Impact on Forest Environments]** The area of bamboo groves in Japan has been increasing year by year, reaching approximately 160,000 hectares in 2012. They are widely distributed, particularly in western Japan, including Kyushu and the Chugoku region, and bamboo groves account for about 0.6% of Japan's total forest area. While there are well-maintained bamboo groves, many of the unmaintained ones have low productivity as bamboo materials. Not all bamboo groves need to be urgently maintained, and the approach to assessment varies depending on the original land use.

[Column] The Path to Decarbonization! What We Should Explore is the Current State of Japan's Forests and Their Issues

The forest area in Japan has not changed for over 50 years. However, the forest accumulation, which refers to the volume of forests, has been increasing year by year, particularly in artificial forests.

Japan is a forest kingdom, with about two-thirds of its land (approximately 25 million hectares) covered by forests, which is among the highest proportions in the world. In fact, Japan's forest area has not changed for over 50 years. I will explain the current state of Japan's forests, which is the reason for this. However, the volume of forests, known as forest accumulation, has been increasing year by year, primarily in artificial forests. While the area has not increased, the volume has been growing annually. Forests consist of "natural forests," which grow through natural processes, and "artificial forests," which are planted by humans. While the global rate of artificial forests is 7%, Japan's rate is very high at 40%. The area of Japan's artificial forests is approximately 10 million hectares, which is about 1.2 times the size of Hokkaido. The high rate of artificial forests in Japan is due to the sharp increase in demand for timber after World War II and during the period of rapid economic growth, leading to the establishment of many artificial forests. Now, those artificial forests planted during that time have entered their maturity phase, with more than half being over 50 years old. As a result, while the forest area has not changed, the trees in the forests are growing... For more information, please read the continuation at the URL below or contact us.

What is the Forest Environment Tax? An explanation of the new tax system 'Forest Environment Tax' starting in 2024!

Starting in 2024, the "Forest Environment Tax" is a tax that taxpayers residing in Japan are obligated to pay 1,000 yen per year along with their resident tax.

Are you aware of the "Forest Environment Tax" that will be introduced in 2024? The "Forest Environment Tax" is a tax that individuals with a residence in Japan are required to pay alongside their resident tax, amounting to 1,000 yen per year. Since there are approximately 62 million taxpayers in Japan, the "Forest Environment Tax" is expected to raise about 62 billion yen annually. The taxes we pay will be distributed from the national government to municipalities and prefectures as "Forest Environment Allocation Tax" and will be used for forest management. What led to the establishment of the "Forest Environment Tax" and the "Forest Environment Allocation Tax"? You can read more at the URL below or contact us for further information.

The significance of exhibiting new material technology at the Expo as environmental materials.

ELEMUS is a Japanese manufacturing company that aims to solve social issues and environmental problems in Japan and connect them to economic activities, becoming a globally-oriented venture originating from Japan.

From July 1 to July 7, we exhibited at the Osaka Expo and the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion in the Carbon Neutral Treasure Hunt "Future New Materials" corner, showcasing our wood-based molding technology using 100% natural materials and launching our new brand "URCYL/Arcyll." Since the 1851 London Expo, expos have introduced the latest technologies from various countries. For example, technologies that are now commonplace, such as photocopiers, steam locomotives, moving walkways, and telephones, have all been showcased throughout history. I believe it is very significant that our technology was introduced as a cutting-edge innovation. In particular, our company succeeded for the first time in the world in artificially germinating lacquer, showcasing URUSHI as a cutting-edge sustainable material to the world. We received positive feedback from visitors, such as learning for the first time that lacquer is a type of plastic and expressing hope for the widespread adoption of URCYL as the ultimate environmental material. URCYL requires further technological development for the future of manufacturing in Japan. Moving forward, we will accelerate collaboration with domestic and international companies and engineers. We look forward to hearing from engineers and companies who can join us in developing materials for the world.

Environmental Materials and the Osaka Expo: Challenging the World with Japan's Traditional Techniques and Environmental Materials

ELEMUS is a Japanese manufacturing company that aims to solve social issues and environmental problems in Japan and connect them to economic activities, becoming a globally-oriented venture originating from Japan.

From July 1 to 7, we will exhibit the Carbon Neutral Treasure Hunt "Future New Materials" corner at the Osaka Expo and Osaka Healthcare Pavilion. ELEMUS has launched a new brand "URCYL" as a molding scheme using 100% natural material raw materials. Our company is developing solutions to respond to modern environmentally conscious materials by re-evaluating and harnessing the potential of natural raw materials and materials that have been used in Japan for a long time. The raw material for URCYL is lacquer, which has been used as an adhesive and paint in daily life for about 9,000 years. In modern times, lacquer has lost its value due to chemical materials and has become a niche material. However, the technique of lacquer application itself has been refined and passed down as a unique Japanese technology over the 9,000 years. Our company has re-evaluated lacquer as a material, assessing it from the perspectives of chemical and physical characteristics and environmental impact, discovering its potential, and building a unique scheme. At the Osaka Expo, we will showcase a new material solution that combines the origins of craftsmanship based on materials and techniques that the Japanese have continued to inherit with the latest technology to the world.
