Kawabata Industry's original permeable concrete "SumaCon" is an environmentally friendly floor made from waste tiles, which are classified as industrial waste. It has a porous structure with many voids, excellent surface strength and flexural strength, and maintains sufficient strength as a concrete paving material over the long term. Additionally, it allows water to permeate, preventing the formation of puddles. <Environmental Performance through Heat Dissipation> The water retention of underground moisture due to its permeable function and the evaporation of moisture from the ground due to its ventilation function help suppress the rise in surface temperature caused by direct sunlight, thereby mitigating the heat island phenomenon. Furthermore, our company is a member of the "Japan Mobile Concrete Association (JMC)," a general incorporated association. This organization aims to promote the healthy development of the concrete industry, contribute to the development of the domestic economy, and facilitate international business through collaboration with overseas manufacturers. 【Features】 ■ Effective use of waste tiles discarded as industrial waste, contributing to environmental SDGs ■ Rainwater circulation and prevention of groundwater depletion (such as land subsidence and securing meltwater in snowy regions) ■ Permeable and ventilation functions that suppress the heat island phenomenon *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The "Moresute" handled by Kawabata Industries is a precursor material that serves as an alternative to mortar. Unlike conventional precast mortar methods that generate a large amount of industrial waste, it maintains reliability while providing an incredibly small quantity as a substitute for mortar. The more you use it, the more you can reduce the amount of waste generated with each pour, improving the transportation efficiency of ready-mix concrete trucks. Since ready-mix concrete trucks are not used, it results in cost-effectiveness through reductions in CO2 emissions and labor costs. 【Features】 ■ Reduced transportation costs and labor ■ Significant reduction in waste volume ■ Can be disposed of on-site ■ Reduces CO2 emissions and labor costs *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Kawabata Industries handles permeable concrete "SumaCon." Concrete and asphalt pavements have slopes and cover the ground, resulting in an absorption effect of "zero" for rainwater, which causes water to rapidly accumulate in ditches and rivers. We propose pavements that are cooler than regular concrete and asphalt due to environmental maintenance and the phenomenon of latent heat (the heat absorbed when a liquid turns into a gas). In addition to mitigating the heat island effect, it provides excellent slip resistance and is suitable for areas where drainage is difficult due to reverse slopes. Despite being concrete, you can choose from a color variation of all 9 colors. Instead of painting over it, the color is mixed directly into the concrete, making it resistant to fading. We will work with customers to consider the best color that matches the atmosphere of the exterior! 【Features of SumaCon】 ■ Permeability performance that responds to sudden heavy rain and snow ■ Eight color variations that enhance the exterior atmosphere ■ Permeable and breathable functions that suppress the heat island effect ■ Economical as it can be finished in one day *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
