Make paper from stone
Make paper from stone.
Previously, I covered the theme of a sustainable society.
For that reason, from the traditional method of
making paper from trees,
Instead of trees, new technology to make paper from stone,
I will write about its merits.
Originally, I am interested in new technology
and related broadcast programs I was watching.
I'm trying to see the following six programs without fail.
Among them, August 4, 2016
: I saw it at the Cambrian palace broadcast.
That company is "TBM Corporation".
Mr. Atsuyoshi Yamasaki, President and Representative Director
New Stone Paper "LIMEX"
[What is LIMEX] · LIMEX mainly uses limestone
New materials to replace paper and plastic.
· A revolutionary new material that can balance ecology and ecology.
[As an alternative to paper]
· Paper can be manufactured without using valuable resources on the earth like trees and water. Normal,
When producing 1 ton of plain paper, about 20 trees and about 100 tons of water are used,
LIMEX does not use wood or water as a raw material, and limestone 0.6 - 0.8 tons and a polyolefin
We can produce 1 ton of LIMEX paper from about 0.2 ton.
· Demonstration experiment and quality improvement are repeated, compared to conventional stone paper
"Light" "Cheap" "High quality" realized.
· "High water resistance" is high, it can be used in the bathroom, around the water, outdoors or in the water.
- It is strong against aged deterioration, and it can be recycled semipermanently.
[As an alternative to plastics] While the conventional material is 100% petroleum derived resin,
In LIMEX, the main raw material is limestone and the amount of petroleum derived resin used
Can be greatly reduced.
· It has price competitiveness by using limestone with low unit price as the main raw material.
· By using LIMEX Plastics, we can contribute to environmental load reduction.
[Reserves of limestone as resources]
· Resources that can be 100% self-sufficient in Japan. There are abundant reserves in various parts of the world,
Almost inexhaustible.
In February 2015, we built a first plant to produce 6,000 tons of LIMEX in Shiroishi city, Miyagi prefecture by Tsunami donation.
On November 27, 2015, it was adopted by the Ministry's "Tsunami / nuclear disaster stricken area job creation company location subsidy (manufacturing industry etc. location support project)" and concluded a location agreement with Taga castle city of Miyagi prefecture on 17th December , Announcing that it will set up a mass production plant in the city two years from now.
It has already been put into practical use, such as making posters and paper bags at the Japan Pavilion at LIMEX at the Milan International Expo held in 2015.
Recent news
November 25, 2016: joint development with TBM and Toppan Printing, the new material LIMEX
Development of new applications making full use of the characteristics of environmental materials LIMEX
Joint development and creation of high added value market
Basic agreement for license agreement
Finally, it seems that we have advanced one step toward full-scale manufacturing.
In Japan, a breakthrough new technology like golden eggs,
One after another, I am born.
In order for such new technology to create a sustainable society and the world,
We expect many things to be put to practical use.
For details, please check on the Internet.
If there is information on new technology to create a sustainable society and the world,
I would like to put on.
Some of the materials are excerpted from the literature.
