One of the challenge of plastic recycling is the sorting of black plastic.
If we are able to solve the issue, it will lead directly to securing market superiority.

Why black plastic is an issue of plastic recycling.

Current

In plastic recycling, near-infrared light is used to sort out plastic types, but carbon black, which is used to color black, absorbs near-infrared light, making it difficult to sort out.

For near future

In Europe, there are already needs for recyclable black pigments that can be replaced carbon black.
In Japan, the Law for Promotion of Recycling of Plastic Resources is also required to formulate guidelines for plastic recycling, and the use of carbon black may become a problem in the near future.

Solving this challenge will lead to creat new businesses.
