Since the enactment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations in September 2015, the international movement towards a sustainable society has achieved increased momentum. In Europe, with the backing of Environment, Society and Governance (ESG) investments, there has been an acceleration of the applications of renewable bioresources based on the bioeconomy. In addition, in Japan, the development and dissemination of technologies supporting sustainability have been promoted under “carbon neutrality” declared by Prime Minister Suga in 2020. 

 With these backgrounds, this webinar will illustrate the multifaceted analysis of "biopolymer・Urushi (natural lacquer)", whose research has been accelerated as a sustainable material recently, and introduce the characterization for industrial use. 

This seminar will be held on the web. You can participate not only from your PC, but also from your smartphone or tablet, as long as you have access to the web.  We look forward to your participation.
