Rice husk ash, shell and resin composite plastic MGC pellets

We will significantly reduce the use of fossil materials and contribute to the preservation of the Earth's environment!

Rice husks, which are a staple food for Japanese people, are produced annually in Japan (2.3 million tons) and around the world (120 million tons), primarily in Asian countries. During the process of milling the harvested rice, rice husks are generated, and a large portion of them is utilized as a thermal resource for thermal power generation. Some of the incinerated rice husk ash is used as a soil amendment or as insulation material in steelmaking, but the majority becomes industrial waste. The main component of rice husk ash is silica (SiO2), which consistently contains over 90%, and due to its porous nature, it is a functional resource that is being utilized and researched in various industrial fields, although significant effective utilization has not been achieved. Additionally, most of the shells are treated as industrial waste and discarded. Since these shells are attached to internal organs, they cause foul odors and lead to soil and groundwater contamination due to the leaching of heavy metals (especially cadmium) contained in the organs, posing environmental conservation issues. The MCG pellets, which effectively utilize these materials, are environmentally friendly materials that can significantly contribute to the preservation of the global environment by leveraging the characteristics of natural materials compared to conventional resin materials.
