Eco-friendly cushioning material derived from cornstarch, with a biomass content of 25% or more.
Using materials that are cheaper compared to conventional bioplastics and can reduce CO2 emissions during combustion by approximately 25% compared to plastic (PP).
Four Strengths - Functionality equivalent to petroleum-based plastics - A first step towards reducing plastic usage - CO2 emission reduction effect - Low cost [Functionality equivalent to petroleum-based plastics] It has moldability, convenience, strength, and quality comparable to petroleum-derived plastics, offering similar functionality. [A first step towards reducing plastic usage] With a biomass content of 25%, it reduces the use of finite petroleum-derived plastics by 25%, serving as a first step towards environmental measures and reducing plastic usage. [CO2 emission reduction effect] In Japan, waste disposal is primarily through incineration, including plastics. Incineration results in CO2 emissions, which are a significant environmental issue. This cushioning material reduces CO2 emissions during combustion by approximately 25% compared to plastic (PP), as verified by CERI (Chemical Evaluation and Research Institute). The reduction effect is recognized, rather than just theoretical carbon neutrality. [Low cost] In terms of cost, it is about 1.5 times that of plastic (PP), making it cheaper than bioplastics.

Company information
Founded 91 years ago as "Yashima Automobile Parts Trading Company," our company originated from the automotive parts division of Yashima Motor Co., which was the general importer of Chrysler vehicles in 1926. Over the years, we evolved from supplying repair parts to directly providing mass-produced components to automobile manufacturers, in line with the pre-war and post-war trends of domestic automobile production. At the time of our establishment, the Toranomon area was referred to as Japan's Detroit, yet there were almost no domestic vehicles present, and we had been engaged in automotive-related business even before the domestic production of automobiles began. Today, we have transformed and grown into a technical trading company that directly supplies and sells mass-produced parts to major automobile manufacturers and construction machinery manufacturers. We support the development departments of manufacturers with technical proposals and assist the procurement departments with global parts sourcing, providing mass production solutions for a wide range of products, from resin molded products, semiconductors, electronic components, and sensors to inverters and onboard motors that make up electric vehicles. Notably, the next-generation onboard electrification components have significantly increased, with mass production sales reaching an annual scale of 6 billion yen.
