Green Nano is a unique Japanese technology that significantly reduces CO₂ emissions during combustion by adding only a small amount to ordinary plastics.

Just add a small amount of functional masterbatch (Green Nano) to your usual materials as a raw material, it will greatly reduce the amount of CO₂ generated when plastic products are incinerated. This is a next-generation eco-technology developed in Japan.

Unlike plant-derived plastics, which are inferior in transparency and strength, only a small amount of functional masterbatch (Green Nano) is added, so the performance of ordinary plastic products is largely maintained.
The design, materials, and production facilities can be used without any modification, and there is almost no impact on labor or initial cost.
Since only a small amount is added, it is said to produce "eco-friendly" plastic products at a low cost among the many environmentally-friendly plastics.

Functional masterbatches(Green Nano) for uniform dispersion of carbonization accelerators.

Functional masterbatches (Green Nano) contain additives (carbonization accelerators) that reduce CO₂. The masterbatch is set so that the carbonization accelerator is appropriately dispersed and arranged in the molded plastic.
The moderate dispersion of the carbonization accelerator in the molded plastic allows a more effective chemical reaction to take place, resulting in an eco-plastic with a sufficient CO₂ reduction effect even with only a small amount added.

Principles of CO₂ reduction

Carbonization Accelerator

• The carbonization accelerator acts as a catalyst for dehydrogenation, promoting the carbonization reaction that occurs when combustible gases are generated.
• Carbides are produced in greater quantities than usual.
• As carbon is trapped in the residue (ash), the amount of CO₂ released into the atmosphere is reduced.

Introduction of combustion experiment methods

The CO₂ gas concentration emitted by direct combustion in a heating device that resembles an incinerator is measured in real time to determine the difference in CO₂ generation.

■ Specimen size (per measurement)
Size : 2 to 5 cm square　Weight : ~1g approx.

■ Measurement time : Time from start of
measurement until CO2 reaches 0%.

※However, in stoker furnaces, which account for nearly 80% of waste incineration facilities in Japan, chemical reactions due to pyrolysis have already occurred in the drying and preheating section (approx. 200°C to 500°C) of the stoker furnaces, and 400°C is set as the typical heating temperature at which resin-based materials react violently in combustion tests.
