  • Anellotech Plas-Tcat Funding from R Plus Japan Press Release June 30
    Anellotech Secures Funds to Develop Innovative Plas-TCatTM Plastics Recycling Technology from R Plus Japan, a New Joint Venture Company launched by 12 Cross-Industry Partners within the Japanese Plastic Supply Chain Pearl River, NY, USA, (June 30, 2020) —Sustainable technology company Anellotech has announced that R Plus Japan Ltd., a new joint venture company, will invest in the development of Anellotech’s cutting-edge Plas-TCatTM technology for recycling used plastics. R Plus Japan was established by 12 cross-industry partners within the Japanese plastics supply chain. Member partners include Suntory MONOZUKURI Expert Ltd. (SME, a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings Ltd.), TOYOBO Co. Ltd., Rengo Co. Ltd., Toyo Seikan Group Holdings Ltd., J&T Recycling Corporation, Asahi Group Holdings Ltd., Iwatani Corporation, Dai Nippon Printing Co. Ltd., Toppan Printing Co. Ltd., Fuji Seal International Inc., Hokkaican Co. Ltd., Yoshino Kogyosho Co. Ltd.. Many plastic packaging materials are unable to be recycled and are instead thrown away after a single use, often landfilled, incinerated, or littered, polluting land and oceans. Unlike the existing multi-step processes which first liquefy plastic waste back into low value “synthetic oil” intermediate products, Anellotech’s Plas- TCat chemical recycling technology uses a one-step thermal-catalytic process to convert single-use plastics directly into basic chemicals such as benzene, toluene, xylenes (BTX), ethylene, and propylene, which can then be used to make new plastics. The technology’s process efficiency has the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption. Once utilized across the industry, this technology will be able to more efficiently recycle single-use plastic, one of the world’s most urgent challenges.

  • Cases of Electronic Display Materials Manufacturers
    The International Journal of Economic Policy Studies Volume 2 2007 Article 8 INTERNATIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF THE JAPANESE ELECTRONIC MATERIALS INDUSTRY: CASES OF ELECTRONIC DISPLAY MATERIALS MANUFACTURERS Ryoichi Namikawa Professor, Faculty of Policy Study, Iwate Prefectural University Takizawa-Sugo 152-52, Takizawa, Iwate, JAPAN E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Japanese chemical industry has built general chemicals factories overseas. Nevertheless, it has been reluctant to build factories that produce high-technology functional chemicals overseas, first because these factories are inseparable from R&D laboratories, second, because not all Asian countries have reached a sufficiently high level of technology to provide the necessary infrastructure and services for such factories. However, the author takes notice that the chemical industry has recently built some factories that produce electronic display materials that are typical of high-technology functional chemicals, in Asian countries. The author first collects and analyzes cases in which chemical companies have built factories overseas and then analyzes the market structure of display materials to clarify the reasons why they do so. First, the author has found that such deployment is a result of the increased production of electronic display in Asia, led by Korean companies. Second, the author has found a more fundamental factor underlying such deployment by observing the relation between the chemical industry and the electronics industry in this field in Japan from the viewpoint

  • Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity Fund Monthly Commentary
    Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity Fund AUG Commentary 2021 Market Overview Markets were on the weak side for the rst few weeks of the month due to concerns that rapidly increasing delta variant cases around the world would side-track the current global economic recovery following pandemic period lows. However, the market made a strong recovery in the last week-and-a-half, with the TOPIX Total Return index nishing the month up a solid 3.2% in yen terms. Tokyo managed to host a reasonably successful Olympics and Japan even produced a strong showing in the medal count, particularly in gold medals. Portfolio Review During the month, the portfolio underperformed the TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 3.2% in yen terms. Being underweight and stock selection in consumer discretionary, and stock selection in the materials and utilities sectors were top contributors to performance. Being underweight and stock selection in health care, stock selection in communication services, and being underweight and stock selection in information technology sectors were negative. During the month, the top positive contributors to relative performance included: • Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steel manufacturer, was strong after reporting better-than-expected rst-quarter earnings and raising its full-year guidance. • Mitsui O.S.K.Lines, a leading shipping company, continued to rise due to stronger-than-expected earnings and a better-than- expected dividend increase. • Makita, a leading global manufacturer of power tools, raised full-year guidance as its rst-quarter saw continued strong demand globally. • Dai-ichi Life Holdings, a leading life insurance company, rose as the yield on 10-year U.S.
