「The eggshell-membrane materials development project was selected for NEDO's Bio-Manufacturing Revolution Promotion Project, and following the new eggshell-membrane-derived fiber ovoveil, we successfully developed a new electrode material for supercapacitors.」
The upcycling of unused resources progressed from eggshell membrane fiber ovoveil to the successful development of new electrode materials for supercapacitors, entering the application development stage for electric vehicles, smart devices and other products. - FY2025-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「Under the Bio-Manufacturing Revolution Promotion Project adopted by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), we are investing in the development and mass production of eggshell membrane materials with properties suitable for a broad range of industrial applications, including textiles, agriculture and electronic materials. In particular, we focused on product development toward the launch of eggshell membrane fiber ovoveil, investment in production facilities and expansion of sales channels.」
In addition to investing in the mass production of eggshell membrane materials, we are advancing product development toward the launch of the eggshell membrane fiber ovoveil, investment in production facilities and expansion of sales channels. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「The company was selected for a project under the “Bio-Manufacturing Revolution Promotion Project” solicited by NEDO, the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, and entered into a contract on 7 February 2024. The contract period runs from 16 November 2023 to 31 March 2025, and the project aims to commercialize businesses in 3 areas through the upcycling of eggshell membranes: hybrid fibers, new energy-storage device materials and biostimulants.」
The eggshell membrane upcycling business was selected for an NEDO project and reached the contract-execution stage, with a concrete implementation plan through March 2025 taking shape in 3 areas. - FY2024-Q3AdvancedAnnual report

The eggshell membrane upcycling business has progressed through selection for and execution of an NEDO project contract, and a concrete implementation plan has taken shape aimed at commercialization in 3 areas: hybrid fibers, new energy-storage device materials, and biostimulants. - FY2024-Q2AdvancedAnnual report
「With a view to commercializing this business, the company will make more than ¥5,000 million in total R&D and capital investment over the next 5 years, with a certain level of subsidy from NEDO. In parallel with R&D in the 3 fields of hybrid fibers, new energy-storage device materials and biostimulants, it will pursue discussions with major manufacturers of finished products to enter the market at an early stage.」
Regarding the upcycling of eggshell membranes, the company progressed to project selection and contract execution under NEDO’s Bio-Manufacturing Revolution Promotion Project, and presented plans to invest more than ¥5,000 million in total R&D and capital investment over the next 5 years in the 3 fields of hybrid fibers, new energy-storage device materials and biostimulants. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「As a new initiative, the company will invest in developing and mass-producing eggshell membrane materials with properties suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including textiles, agriculture and electronic materials. It will also develop biostimulants, materials that stimulate crops to improve their quality and resilience, targeting practical application around 2024 and, over the longer term, the development of a sustainable agricultural system.」
The use of unused resources has taken concrete form in investment to mass-produce eggshell membrane materials and the target of achieving practical application of biostimulants around 2024. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「As a new initiative, the company formulated the “Basic Plan for Agri-Nutrition,” a joint project with SANYO CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES,LTD., in September 2021.」
The policy of upcycling unused resources has taken concrete form in the joint agriculture and nutrition plan with SANYO CHEMICAL, human trials of Lipismart and the production of prototypes using eggshells and eggshell membranes. - FY2022-Q1AdvancedAnnual report
「The company also produced prototypes using unused resources, including eggshells and eggshell membranes, with a view to commercializing chemical products. As another initiative involving unused resources, it conducted human trials of LipismartⓇ, a functional material with a low environmental impact that makes comprehensive use of sesame, to assess its effect in suppressing triglyceride absorption.」
The upcycling of unused resources has progressed to producing prototypes using eggshells and eggshell membranes and conducting human trials of Lipismart. - FY2021First statedAnnual report
「The company will pursue the upcycling of unused resources, including eggshells and eggshell membranes, sesame, wine and bananas, drawing on its R&D, product-development and sales capabilities.」
The company outlined for the first time its policy of leveraging unused resources, including eggshells and eggshell membranes, sesame, wine and bananas, through its R&D, product-development and sales capabilities.
