TOKYO--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--Kaneka Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Kazuhiko Fujii; hereinafter “Kaneka”)(TOKYO:4118) has announced that its “Green Planet foam molded product” using KANEKA Biodegradable Polymer Green Planet (hereinafter “Green Planet”) has been adopted by Sony Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter “Sony”) as a cushioning material for its large-screen televisions. The material will be used for 85-inch BRAVIA™ television to be released this summer[*1]. To ensure shock resistance for large, heavy televisions during transportation, a certain level of strength and durability is required. Using Sony’s technical expertise in packaging design and Kaneka’s material molding technology, the two companies conducted a series of technical verifications to realize the use of Green Planet’s foam molded product as cushioning materials. This is a world first[*2] for Green Planet foam molded products to be used as cushioning materials for home electric appliances.
Based on our mission of “KANEKA thinks ‘Wellness First’.”, Kaneka provides value globally as a solution provider. We will continue to strive for the realization of a sustainable society by promoting the use of Green Planet.
