VASU Japan will announce a biomass ABS that appeals to consumers regarding SDGs visually by converting highly versatile ABS into biomass and further combining it with straw powder. The biomass ABS provided by our group company, VASU Networks, has been developed as an environmentally friendly new material by combining virgin ABS with shell powder (oyster shells) and has been introduced to the market. We have now developed a biomass ABS that balances "environmental friendliness" and "design" by adding straw powder. ABS is a material widely used at the forefront where brands interact with consumers, such as in cosmetic containers and home appliances. The biomass ABS with straw powder that we propose has gentle colors and textures derived from natural materials, allowing consumers to intuitively feel that it is an "environmentally friendly material" the moment they hold it. Conventional bioplastics often communicated their environmental consideration indirectly through certification marks and other means. However, this material makes "the appearance itself an environmental message," enabling brands to naturally convey their sustainability strategies to consumers.

VASU Japan will exhibit at the SDGs Week EXPO 2025 EcoPro, held at Tokyo Big Sight from December 10, 2025. Dates: December 10 (Wed) - 12 (Fri), 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Venue: Tokyo Big Sight, East Hall Admission Fee: Free (registration required) Booth Location: 6-036 On the day, we plan to showcase various molded products and resins made from biomass plastics and biodegradable plastics, which you can actually touch and experience. We hope that by viewing our various molded products, those already engaged in SDGs, those planning initiatives, and those researching SDGs will find inspiration for their businesses, services, and products. Additionally, if you have any questions about bioplastics, please feel free to ask, and we warmly invite you to visit us at booth number "6-036," VASU Japan.

VASU Japan has recently started mass production of biodegradable plastics that can impart biodegradability to non-woven fabrics used for various applications, offering excellent cost performance. The bioplastics suitable for this biodegradable non-woven fabric enable the introduction of biodegradable plastics for a variety of uses. While biodegradable non-woven fabrics are already available in the market, many products primarily use PLA (polylactic acid) as the main raw material, making cost a barrier to adoption. The VS-90-2-A10 was developed with the aim of lowering this barrier. In Japan, the share of bioplastics is overwhelmingly dominated by biomass plastics, but as the VASU Group, which specializes in the development and manufacturing of biodegradable plastics, we hope to broaden our applications without limitations. Additionally, the VS-90-2-A10 is currently under patent application in China. The VS-90-2-A10 is ideally suited for the spunbond method, which is a highly efficient manufacturing process that enables the continuous production of non-woven fabrics from thermoplastic resins. By melting the raw resin and continuously spinning the fibers into sheets, it is possible to achieve both high productivity and excellent product performance.
