Upcoming Webinar on Advanced Material Recycling Technology for Cross-Linked Polyolefins

On May 22, 2025, CMC Research, based in Kanda Nishikicho, Chiyoda Ward, will host an informative webinar titled "Advanced Material Recycling Technology for Cross-Linked Polyolefins." This event will feature Takao Shiono, the President of Ohashi Co., Ltd., as the speaker. The webinar is scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM (JST), utilizing Zoom for a seamless online experience.

The registration fee for participants is set at 22,000 yen (including tax), with a special rate of 19,800 yen (including tax) for newsletter subscribers. This webinar promises an engaging opportunity as it will include a Q&A session, encouraging active participation from attendees.

Learning Objectives of the Webinar

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the current state of cross-linked polyolefins—namely cross-linked polyethylene and cross-linked polypropylene—which are typically processed as industrial waste or fuel. The session will delve into business-viable technologies that promote not just waste recycling, but also align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specific examples illustrating the role of these technologies in developing a sustainable and decarbonized society will be highlighted.
