This is a biodegradable non-woven fabric developed primarily from PBAT. Traditional biodegradable non-woven fabrics mainly use PLA as their material, which presents a significant cost increase as a high hurdle. In recent years, biodegradable plastics have gained attention as part of the efforts towards the SDGs, but they tend to have a cost increase compared to petroleum-based plastics. While the aspect of "biodegradable = environmentally friendly" tends to be highlighted, there are actually cases where costs can be reduced throughout the entire process. Biodegradable plastics are literally materials that can be safely decomposed and are harmless when properly processed after use, so they have the potential to simplify the processes of collection, sorting, and disposal. For example, with non-woven fabric made of polyethylene (PE), the disposal process involves collection, sorting, and ultimately requesting a waste disposal company to pick it up. However, with biodegradable non-woven fabric, disposing of it in compost can significantly reduce these processes, potentially leading to cost reductions.

• Other biomass

This is a compound pellet and sheet material made primarily from PLA and starch, suitable for various molding applications. The VS series includes a variety of options, such as those composed of biodegradable materials after use and those with high biomass content. They align with the concept of carbon neutrality and contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. It is also possible to obtain a biomass mark (procedures are required for display). Expected applications: Toothbrushes, apparel accessories (such as buttons), small speaker enclosures, sheets for vacuum forming (for food trays). Sample requests: We are currently providing samples starting from 25 kg for test molding. We also offer physical property information and reference data for test molding. For companies considering some form of environmental protection measures but struggling to take concrete steps, we recommend starting with test molding using existing molds. This allows you to try out small samples without incurring significant costs, enabling you to take specific actions.
