【Why is it necessary to reduce plastic garbage?】“Plastic is spreading as garbage all over the world. We humanbeings are creating plastic, so we can not leave it alone.”The sea around Japan contains around 27 times more
microplastics than the world’s average.
Reasons for recycling① To reduce garbage
Garbage can be reduced if it is burned but burnt residue must
be buried somewhere. In the case of plastic, it becomes aproblem when it can not be collected properly.
② To avoid wasting the earth’s resources.
Plastic is made from petroleum and natural gas.

【The future activity】
In cooperation with Moonstar Inc., we will create a new indoor shoe that improves upon the first trial product.
Because the indoor shoes require more improvements before they can be commercialized, we want to continue
work on them. We also proceed with research on plastic garbage and conduct experiments about life without
plastic.
We entered the Business Plan Grand Prix sponsored by the Japan Finance Corporation.
