TBM's Research and Development System

TBM has established compounding, dispersion, mixing, and molding as its core technologies. It has established itself as a core technology for new innovations with its carbonate chlorination technology that produces "CCU calcium carbonate" from calcium-containing waste and CO₂ such as exhaust gas, and its technology for enhancing the functionality of recycled material. These technologies are protected by a patent network spanning more than 50 countries worldwide and unique manufacturing know-how, and TBM is promoting the rapid social implementation of CCU materials, high-performance recycled material, and new materials.

Product development and application

We work backward from our business strategy to design products that meet market needs and develop applications that include trademark protection.

Carbonation technology: Research and demonstration of the CCU process for chemically synthesizing and fixing CO₂ as calcium carbonate.

recycled material High-performance technology: Development of recycling technologies to transform waste plastics into high-value-added materials.

New Material Development: Applied research on next-generation materials, including CO₂ utilization and high inorganic content filling, with a view to patent formation.

Carbonation technology

A unique technology that chemically synthesizes CO₂ and industrial waste to produce carbonate.
Commercialization of CCU process using industrial exhaust gas as a raw material.
Building materials and other items that can be fixed in place for a long period of time and have a long service life.
Launched and sold as a raw material for products.
To promote the social implementation of a "local production for local use" model that realizes material circulation in areas adjacent to CO₂ emission sources, we are conducting verification with a view to its potential for deployment both domestically and internationally.

High-performance technology recycled material

Our unique blending, mixing, and modification technologies achieve strength exceeding that of virgin plastics.
This significantly reduces the odor characteristic of PCR materials used in containers and packaging, enabling its application to advanced uses where recycled material were previously unsuitable.
Through collaborative research with universities, we have elucidated the degradation mechanism of recycled plastics and established advanced material design technologies.
We are promoting the development of innovative recycling technologies that enable advanced material circulation, targeting composite mechanical recycling and other materials that are difficult to recycle.
