Plant-derived bioplastic①

A variety of forest-derived Planticek is now in production. Resources that depend and import a lot of resources overseas Japan small country. Fossil fuels, such as petroleum, which are highly depleted. Many resources are used for price hikes, political tools, and in times of difficulty in securing the security of resources. Currently, the proposition demanded by Japan is the development of the pure domestic resources that can be procured in the country. With 70% of the country's land, a wide variety of initiatives are being made to utilize forests that are left unused as resources.

The stepping is the development of bio-plastic applications from the forest.  

Japan is the world's leading forest country. It is said that the ratio of the forest area in the land area is "forest rate", and the forest rate is 67% and 2/3 of the country is a forest, and this ratio is the second highest after Finland in the advanced country Japan. In a word, Japan is the world's leading forest country. About half of these are natural forests, 20% are artificial forests, and other 30% are composed of non-standing trees (forest The tree is not erected) and Bamboo Grove. However, Japan is one of the leading timber importer, and the Japan timber self-sufficiency rate is about 30%. The current situation is that about 70% of the wood used is dependent on imports. By the way, tropical plywood is the world's largest importer, and it is possible that sustainable rainforest timber is being used to break the use of sustainable materials that have been protected from the 2016 international NGO and 44 organizations to the related facilities of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is also a fact that there is a high warning. The idea of using sustainable materials has been carried over with Beijing, London and Rio, but remains marked with a question mark at the Tokyo Olympics.
