Durability is comparable to conventional asphalt pavement! Excellent insulation properties help prevent heat islands!
Tanaka Building Materials is seeking franchise companies that can sell environmentally friendly asphalt paving materials made from "wood." Wood-based heated asphalt (Harmony Road Wood) is an eco-friendly paving material created by chipping waste wood and thinning materials and mixing them with heated asphalt. Its durability of about 10 years is comparable to that of conventional asphalt paving. Additionally, the excellent thermal insulation properties of wood are effective in countering the heat island effect. It is primarily used in park walkways, jogging courses, cycling paths, and some exterior construction areas of parking lots. The current market is approximately 500 million yen, but by promoting its use in general sidewalks, a potential market of about 25 billion yen can be anticipated. [Future Prospects through Franchising] - Providing patents and technology to implement construction on-site → Reducing construction costs. - Increased number of projects leading to economies of scale → Reducing manufacturing costs. - Reduction in construction and manufacturing costs → Market expansion through lower selling prices. *For more details on franchise recruitment, please contact us or download the materials to view.

basic information
It is a paving material that allows you to feel nature even in urban areas, harmonizing with the natural environment, and has the following strengths compared to other companies, so we expect it to contribute to the sales growth of franchise businesses. 【Features】 ■ Durability: Comparable to conventional asphalt paving. A durability of about 10 years has been demonstrated through outdoor weather resistance tests. ■ Elasticity: It has moderate elasticity and shock absorption properties from wood-based materials, making it excellent for walking. ■ Lightweight: With a low specific gravity, it can be applied in places with weight restrictions, such as rooftops and pedestrian bridges. ■ Permeability: Rainwater permeates through the pavement, making it difficult for puddles to form. (If durability and strength are prioritized, it can be made non-permeable.) ■ Insulation: Being wood-based, it has high insulation properties and low heat retention, making it effective for heat island mitigation. ■ Economic efficiency: It is more economical compared to resin-based wood chip paving and rubber chip paving. ■ Environmental conservation and recycling: Compared to crushed stone paving, it can reduce energy consumption at the manufacturing stage by 60% based on specific gravity and by 70% based on mixing temperature. 【Awards (excerpt)】 ● eco japan cup 2013 Green New Deal Excellence Award ● Shiga Prefecture Low Carbon Society Creation Award, Low Carbonization Business Division Award
