Abstract

<p>The problem of plastic waste, which is being taken up every day, is causing global environmental pollution, and it cannot be avoided in developed countries as well as in developing countries.</p><p>In Japan, nearly 9 million tons of waste plastics are discharged every year, and plastic material recycling is only 2,060,000 tons（23％），indicating the difficulty of plastic recycling.</p><p>The first step is to reduce the amount used, but it is not possible to eliminate all the plastic products that are indispensable for our daily lives. In Europe, the United States, and China, bans on use and production are banned at a tremendous speed, but Japan is still at the level of self-regulation and lagging behind.</p><p>Among them, the ones that must be solved immediately are disposable food containers, such as trays, drink lids, and straws. Our company products MAPKA which is a molding material with a fine paper powder weight ratio of 51％or more, as a point of appeal that the amount of plastic used will be 50％ or less. Since it was put on the market and the seat grade was developed in 2017, it decided to enter the disposable food container market.</p>
