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.
