Are you still using paper products? Plasteco delivers environmentally friendly plastic products!

This is a block board made of biodegradable foam beads that are non-petroleum-based, carbon-neutral, and have low environmental impact. Ideal for packaging materials, cushioning, and various three-dimensional shapes!

Beads made from plant-derived, biodegradable resin PLA (polylactic acid) are foamed using a unique extrusion foaming technology developed by Plasteco, which utilizes low environmental impact inert gases (CO2, N2) and are then steam-formed into block and board shapes. They can be processed into your desired shape through cutting and other methods! They can be used as an alternative to traditional expanded polystyrene for packaging materials and cushioning, as well as for three-dimensional objects and display items. High expansion foaming with a safe and inexpensive foaming agent (inert gas) also allows for a reduction in raw materials! PLA resin, which has a high raw material cost, can be foamed and molded at a low cost.

Foamed sheets made from biodegradable resin PLA (polylactic acid) that are produced using environmentally friendly methods. They can be used for food trays, agricultural products, medical supplies, packaging, and cushioning materials.

Plasteco Co., Ltd. has consistently focused on "plastic production that considers people and the Earth" since its establishment. Through our unique technology that uses a safe inert gas with a low global warming potential to foam resins, we conduct research on plastic products and manufacturing methods that address environmental and resource issues, as well as the development and manufacturing of related equipment. With this technology, we have successfully achieved high-density foaming of plant-based biodegradable resins like PLA (polylactic acid), which were previously difficult to foam. Our foamed plastics are carbon neutral, derived from non-petroleum sources, and do not generate excess CO₂ during manufacturing and disposal processes, making them advanced materials that can be safely used in the future. Our foamed sheets are 100% biodegradable and do not use chemical foaming agents. Amid growing global concern over plastic waste, they can be applied in various fields as new environmentally friendly products, including food trays, packaging materials, and medical products. We have vacuum forming equipment and molds for testing, allowing for prototyping from sheets to formed products.

Both the raw resin and the foaming agent are entirely non-petroleum based! They do not generate excess CO2 during the manufacturing and disposal processes.

【Plant-based, biodegradable plastic foam bead material that is gentle on people and the Earth】 "Plant-based biodegradable foam beads" are 100% biodegradable products made using an environmentally friendly method that does not involve chemical foaming agents. Thanks to our unique "supercritical inert gas foaming molding technology," we have successfully molded foam beads from biodegradable resin PLA (polylactic acid), which was previously challenging. This high expansion foaming also allows for a reduction in raw materials. As global concern over plastic waste issues grows, this new environmentally friendly product can be applied in various fields such as fishing and agricultural tools, packaging materials, medical products, and decorative/display items. 【Features】 ■ 100% plant-based ■ 100% biodegradable ■ Carbon neutral ■ Low environmental impact foaming agents used *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Positive Displacement Pump

Renewed with a new model! This is a gas supply device capable of precisely and stably supplying inert gases necessary for foam molding, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2).

【Renewal & New Model Launch!】 - Smaller and lighter than the previous model - Equipped with a 12-inch large screen touch panel - Precise control of gas supply volume is possible through data linkage with various molding machines Foaming with CO₂ or N₂ experiences significant changes in bubble diameter and foaming conditions due to minor fluctuations in supply volume. Additionally, traditional pump methods using pressure control have seen supply volume fluctuate due to pressure changes at the gas injection point of the molding machine. Plasteco's supercritical inert gas quantitative supply device maintains a constant supply mass and automatically adjusts the supply pressure to follow the pressure at the supply point, enabling precise control of the supply volume at all times and achieving uniform and fine foaming. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the gas addition amount through data linkage (optional) with extrusion and injection molding machines, stabilization of foaming ratios and reduction in the weight of molded products become possible. It can accommodate a wide range of applications, from small flow rates for small molding machines to large flow rates for large molding machines, as well as RIM molding and other uses. It also supports flow control, high-pressure compatibility, and other options, making it suitable for various applications.

• Drying Equipment

We developed a system that expands the functions of the electronic manifest ASP "KENET" to record the traceability from waste to the creation of recycled resources using blockchain technology. In May 2025, as a pre-service, we implemented registration functions from waste registration to the input of the recycling process and the completion of recycled resources. In January 2026, we newly developed functions for inventory management and shipping of recycled materials. The system also includes a CFP registration function for recycled resources, allowing for data input on the decarbonization effects of resource circulation. We aim to utilize the waste management functions cultivated over 18 years with KENET to advance into the field of resource circulation and work towards the effective use of waste for a circular society.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

What exactly is a "working adult"? Some definitions are not found in the dictionary. Even when they are, they can be quite vague. Are we not mistakenly thinking that being a working adult means being admirable or important? Do people follow a path from preschooler to child, to student, to student, to working adult, and then to non-working adult? Is being a working adult really that special among these stages?
