Reducing environmentally hazardous substances
Manufacturing with environmentally friendly, naturally derived materials. We have begun efforts to solve this problem that we have set for ourselves. Development of new fiber materials that can be manufactured in a way that places less strain on the environment than current methods. Staff in the research department continue to take on this challenge.
We have also begun research into reducing CO2 emissions, and are continuing our research to utilize our technology to help prevent global warming.

Research and development into minimally invasive coral propagation methods ～Towards a rich natural environment～
Global warming is being caused by excessive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from modern society.
It has a major impact not only on the land where we live, but also on the marine environment.
Currently, efforts are underway all over the world to restore a healthy cycle in the global environment, and we too would like to contribute to the restoration of the natural environment in order to protect the Earth's life support system.
Using our technology and knowledge, research and development has begun in collaboration with industry and academia on a minimally invasive method for propagating coral that can fix carbon dioxide (CO2), a type of GHG, over the long term.
In addition, coral reef restoration leads to nature positive effects by increasing biodiversity.
