Explaining efforts to address environmental issues using wood powder! What are the challenges to widespread adoption?
This explains the efforts to address the environmental issue of "deforestation," one of the problems related to the SDGs, by utilizing wood powder, and introduces the challenges of promoting this initiative.
The SDGs were formulated with the aim of achieving a sustainable society, and currently, countries around the world are working on various issues such as the environment and poverty, aiming for solutions by 2030. **[Efforts to Address Environmental Issues Using Wood Powder]** One application of biomass fuel and materials utilizing thinned wood is the attempt to reuse wood that has been processed into wood powder. For example, biomass plastic that combines wood powder and resin (plastic) is expected to help suppress the rise in carbon dioxide levels, thus offering potential for carbon neutrality, making it a promising solution for environmental issues. *Carbon Neutrality: An initiative to balance the total emissions and absorption of greenhouse gases on Earth to zero.* **[Challenges of Wood Powder Biomass Plastic]** There are several challenges associated with biomass plastic made from wood powder. High market prices While there are many advantages compared to conventional plastics, wood powder biomass plastic tends to have a higher market price...
