Prior to the establishment of Biomass Resin Holdings, we started our business in 2005, at a time when biomass-related businesses were in their infancy in Japan. Since then, until today, we have continued to develop our business, based on the unlimited potential of this field as a business, our responsibility to care for the environment on a global scale, and our inherent reluctance to give up. With our natural reluctance to give up, we have overcome many stormy seas and continued to innovate our technology. Now, we are developing rice resin, a biomass plastic derived from rice, which is an important resource in Japan and Asia, and biodegradable plastic NeoResin, which is used in the production of a wide range of products. We are also involved in the production and sale of environmentally-friendly plastics, such as rice-derived biomass plastic Rice Resin and biodegradable plastic NeoLiza. We are confronting global-scale social issues such as marine pollution, global warming and food loss. On the other hand, we are also tackling familiar social issues such as domestic agricultural problems and regional revitalisation in cooperation with group companies operating in various parts of Japan. We are tackling these issues with solutions that only we can provide. Under the slogan 'Plastic innovation for tomorrow', we are building an inclusionary organisation that is truly needed by society. We will do our utmost to create an organisation that is truly needed by society and take on the challenge from Japan to Asia and the world.
