KAWANISHI CITY, Japan, May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Environmental problems caused by population explosion such as global warming, natural resource depletion, water shortage and plastic pollution are getting severe in the world. One of the reasons for global warming is said to be carbon dioxide (CO2). Compared to petroleum derived chemical products, nature biomass derived chemical products can be considered as carbon neutral because plant absorbs CO2 during their growth and total CO2 emission will be 0 after they degrade after usage. Therefore, developing biomass derived chemical products is one method to reduce CO2 consumption in order to suppress global warming. 

Key Points: 
  • Green Science Alliance has developed nature biomass derived UV curable hard coat material.
  • This time, they developed biomass derived UV curable hard coat material.
  • Green Science Alliance will keep challenging to create UV curable hard coat materials with higher biomass content.
  • Green Science Alliance will expand their biomass UV curable coating material business to Japan and the world market.
