Technology Highlights

Melting technology

We aim to fully utilize entire trees and have established a technology for gently melting wood through joint research with universities. This technology enables energy savings in the manufacturing process and the extraction of highly reactive substances other than cellulose contained in wood. Additionally, it aims to create new materials through the Biomass Product Trees approach.
