Bashikawa Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoshio Inoue) has been featured in the July issue of the monthly magazine "Nikkei TRENDY" in the section 'Next Up?! Close-Up TOPICS Frontline' regarding the cellulose fiber composite resin "Green Chip® CMF®." Green Chip® CMF® is a new material that incorporates cellulose fibers from wood pulp, a biomass material, into polypropylene resin (PP). It can reduce the amount of petroleum-derived resin by half, contributing to CO2 reduction. Additionally, it has a flowability comparable to that of PP, achieving high moldability. By improving strength and heat resistance compared to PP, it allows for thinner molded products, enabling weight reduction. Depending on the molding conditions, it can produce a unique texture, and it is also characterized by its designability, allowing for direct printing on the resin surface. * Nikkei Trendy can be purchased at bookstores, convenience stores, station kiosks, and online bookstores nationwide.
