「A wide range of cleaning agents is currently available, and the company is working to propose and provide the best products for each purpose and application while promoting recycling. It is also pursuing development with a view to reducing CO2 emissions through the effective use of organic solvents as a resource. To address supply difficulties and price increases for petroleum products resulting from global conditions, the company is promoting the adoption of solvents made from renewable energy-based feedstocks. It is also using its accumulated blending expertise to provide the optimum product in real time as circumstances change, in an effort to retain customers.」
In addition to its existing focus on environmental considerations and solvent recycling, the company explicitly identifies CO2 emission reduction, the adoption of solvents derived from renewable energy, and responses to difficulties in petroleum-product supply as R&D themes. - FY2022ReframedAnnual report
「In particular, stricter environmental regulations have accelerated the shift to water-based paints in the automotive industry, leading to increased demand for VOC-free or low-VOC water-based cleaning agents, and the company is working to address that demand. It has also expanded its focus to the civil engineering sector, beginning with the development of coating-film removers for structures to control hazardous dust and extending its development efforts to related fields such as the repair and inspection of steel structures.」
The scope of its environmental, safety and recycling initiatives has expanded to include VOC-free or low-VOC water-based cleaning agents and the repair and inspection of steel structures. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「The company collects approximately 80% of the solvents delivered under contracts with automobile manufacturers, as well as used solvents from other users, and uses recycled products, or regenerated solvents, as raw materials in its recycling system.」
