Plastic Waste Issues and Our Responsibility
The problems caused by plastic waste came into clearer focus than ever. Plastics do not just make our lives richer and more convenient, they also contribute greatly to solving environmental and social problems by, for example, enabling lighter, energy-saving automobile parts, or adding gas barrier properties to packaging that make food last longer and reduce food loss. At the same time, however, unrecycled plastics become waste that can travel through streams to the oceans and negatively impact the global environment. As we are a chemical company that manufactures plastic agricultural products we believe it is our responsibility to not only pursue greater convenience through plastics, but provide solutions to the environmental impact that plastics cause.
As a member of Mitsubishi Chemical Group, we will work on solving social issues through business activities, contribute to the sustainable development of the global environment and society, and to the creation of a circular economy.
