Column: What is a working adult?

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?
