・Calls have been growing recently for a shift toward a circular economy, and demand is rising worldwide for products that use recycled materials.
・In 2004, Kuraray Fastening established its proprietary manufacturing method for polyester hook-and-loop fasteners that do not use polyurethane or other back coating agents. Because it does not use back coating agents, which hinder recycling, the product has garnered acclaim for being environmentally friendly and reining in CO₂ emissions in the manufacturing process.
・Now, by replacing some of the raw materials used for its manufacture with recycled materials, the company has developed a product that effectively utilizes limited resources, further reduces environmental burden, and meets social needs.
