Since the plastic collected on the coast can be identified on the spot, it serves as a good opportunity for participants to think about how to interact with plastic.

Plastic Material Identification Device Case Study 8 ■Industry: Environmental Survey Company ■Application: Material identification of plastic waste in environmental education 【Customer's Challenges】 In environmental classes held as part of CSR/SDGs activities, participants collect plastic waste on the beach and investigate the material of the plastic waste. However, it was difficult to conduct material analysis on-site. FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), used for material analysis in the field of microplastic research, is generally expensive and, in addition to being a precision instrument, its size and weight pose portability challenges, making it difficult to use outdoors due to the need for a power supply. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information

[After Introduction] ■ The device is portable and connects the tablet and sensor via a USB cable, allowing for on-site material identification of plastic pieces collected in the field. ■ The operation method is extremely simple, enabling material identification without the need for special usage instructions. ■ By allowing participants to identify the material of the collected plastic pieces on-site using "Plashiru," they have become able to understand what types of plastics are used in their lives, which plastics contribute to environmental pollution, and what reduction measures they can take, thus enabling them to think concretely about these issues. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

■Introduction Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturer founded in 1918 in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. We have gained the top market share in Japan for agricultural machinery, particularly grain dryers and straw cutters. "Because we are a company that has walked alongside agriculture, we want to contribute to improving the global environment that supports food production." This desire, combined with our cultivated technology, led to the creation of the polystyrene reduction machine "High Melter." Through the provision of our products, we aim to create a bright future for the industry together with those who are challenging themselves in the recycling industry (*). That is our mission. ■Thoughts on Development The concept of a "circular economy," which views discarded items as resources and aims to circulate resources without generating waste, is gaining attention. However, the recycling industry (*), which plays a significant role in this, does not receive much public interest, and many companies are struggling with labor shortages. Through manufacturing, we want to shine a spotlight on this industry and bring about change. This is the sentiment embedded in all the environmental equipment produced by Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (*) In contrast to the "arterial industries" that produce goods, industries that collect, recycle, reuse, process, and dispose of waste are referred to as "venous industries," likening them to the circulation of blood in the human body.
