Products contributing to the replacement of microplastic beads (MPBs)

For example, microplastic beads (MPBs) are used in cosmetics/personal care products rinsed off for exfoliating and feel-improving, and there is concern that MPBs that are washed away cannot be removed by wastewater treatment facilities, flowing into the ocean, where they adversely affect ecosystems. Sakai Chemical's inorganic powder control technology is expected to contribute to solving these problems by spheroidizing (making into a spherical shape) a variety of materials.

Products that contribute to carbon neutrality

Hydrogen is expected to play an active role in the next generation as an important material for achieving a carbon-neutral society. How can we efficiently manufacture, transport, and use it? In manufacturing, we can reduce the use of the precious metal iridium, which has been conventionally used as an anode catalyst in solid polymer-type water electrolysis; in transportation, we can contribute using ammonia, which is expected as a hydrogen carrier, as a synthesis catalyst material; and in use, our conductive titanium dioxide, ENETIA, is about to realize its contribution as an anode catalyst for PEFCs (Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells).
