A prosperous society in which people and plastics coincide in harmony
Plastics, the material central to our core business, are indispensable in modern society and serve a wide range of purposes from everyday products to advanced industrial applications.
Plastics are scientifically synthesized materials, also known as synthetic resins, with most of their raw components derived from petroleum. Plastics can be shaped in various ways by applying heat and pressure. They are cheaper and lighter than metal, and they are easy to process and resistant to corrosion. These characteristics have led to the rapid spread of plastics in a variety of applications. Today, plastics are found throughout our society and are indispensable materials that contribute to our comfortable living conditions.
However, the environmental impact of plastics has raised significant concerns, leading to serious issues of 1) global warming caused by greenhouse gases emitted during the production, disposal, and incineration of plastics; 2) depletion of finite petroleum resources; and 3) marine pollution from plastics that leak into the environment.
In light of these environmental issues, we, as a manufacturer of plastic products, are committed to being responsible for fostering a sustainable society where people can live comfortably while protecting the global environment.
