Mitsubishi Chemical Group

Students of the Yokohama University Of Art and Design interacted with employees of the #MitsubishiChemicalGroup and learned about chemical recycling.🧑🔬   Many students who participated in the workshop had doubts about the mass disposal after on-campus events. 🗑️ Participants experienced relearning the correct way to separate everyday plastic waste for effective use as a resource and studied the differences and characteristics of existing #recycling and #ChemicalRecycling. In a quiz in the latter half of the workshop, some answered all the questions correctly!✨   This workshop was a valuable opportunity to think with the students about what we can do for the #environment while being exposed to the latest technology and trivia about familiar recycling.🌏♻️   For our Group, it was a meaningful exchange, as we could hear the honest impressions and perceptions of chemical recycling from consumers. In addition, a survey revealed what things participants would like to be recycled. We hope to commercialize the technologies that solve such needs.
