• Paper and pulp products

A lightweight and strong reduced plastic material reinforced with cellulose (pulp) fibers.

This is a non-woven fabric manufactured using the TDS (Totally Dry System) method. Because cellulose (pulp) fibers and polyolefin fibers are evenly dispersed, it becomes a cellulose resin molded body that combines rigidity and impact resistance through thermal processing. With over 50% pulp content, it is an environmentally friendly molding material aimed at reducing plastic usage and decreasing CO2 emissions derived from petroleum. It has the potential to replace fiberglass and other plant-based fibers (such as kenaf). Before processing, it is a low-density, soft mat, allowing it to be molded into three-dimensional shapes with contours. In addition to pulp, it is also possible to mix unused biomass such as tea cake and shell powder, as well as functional by-products.

• Paper and pulp products

Reduced plastic material (injection molding pellets) reinforced with cellulose fibers.

This is an injection molding pellet that uniformly disperses plant-derived cellulose fibers and polyolefin-based resins using proprietary technology. Through injection molding processing, it becomes a cellulose resin molded body that balances rigidity and impact resistance, contributing to the reduction of petroleum-derived plastic usage. As indicated by its high whiteness, there is minimal damage to the cellulose fibers from heat, allowing for the incorporation of functions that fully utilize the properties of cellulose. When combined with colored pellets, the potential for colorful reduced-plastic products expands. Due to its very high impact resistance, it is expected to be applicable to various components, including automotive interiors.

[Instructor] Shunsuke Suzuki, President and CEO, Management Techniques Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The modern business environment is changing at an unpredictable pace, and to achieve success, new approaches that go beyond traditional thinking are essential. "Normal" thinking and "conventional" solutions cannot differentiate you in a highly competitive market. True breakthroughs arise from stepping outside the box. Therefore, the ability to "discover hidden problems and create innovative ideas that others cannot think of" becomes crucial. So, how can we develop such abilities and apply them in the business field? Successful business leaders, skilled engineers, and entrepreneurs who have achieved results do not rely solely on logic; they employ creative thinking. This can be broadly categorized into four areas: associative thinking, abstract thinking, multifaceted thinking, and conceptual thinking. In this seminar, we will learn four creative thinking approaches that will be immediately applicable in business settings. Through these, let’s master the way of thinking that will keep you one step ahead in the business world.
