Environmentally friendly materials and attempts

Environmentally friendly materials and attempts

I   Environmentally Friendly Material Market Trends and Perspectives

• Sustainable materials have been adopted in various fields including automotive, packaging, and subsidiary materials.
• What is differentiation strategy to connect environment with profits and competitive power?
• Global companies have accelerated their resource circulation or carbon neutrality initiatives throughout their supply chains.
• Manufacturing focusing on "environment" has become new competitive edge for Japanese material manufacturers.
• The issue on shock resistance remains, but improved performance of recycled materials via Cellulose Nano Fiber (CNF) combined with other materials may be promising to be adopted for automotive material, first from where it is ok.
• As for container packaging materials, use of sustainable materials used to be for differentiation, but it has become prerequisite.
