What is the Project 'BIOTECHWORKS-H2' that Converts Clothing Waste into Hydrogen?

Yamagin, Inc.'s subsidiary, BIOTECHWORKS-H2, is working on the 'BIOTECHWORKS-H2' initiative, which aims to convert most waste into renewable energy and establish a circular economy.

The company announced that, as its very first project, it would launch the 'Environmental Contribution Display Service – REBORN by BIOTECHWORKS-H2' from April this year, making visible the amount of CO2 reduction at the product collection stage, before products are even sold.

We spoke with Akihide Nishikawa, the company representative, about the outline of the 'BIOTECHWORKS-H2' initiative, the environmental contribution display service, and future developments.
