Fibers made a shift from natural fibers to the age of manmade fibers in 20th century. Now, 21st century faces the “Environmental Age" and a new “Earth Friendly" function is required also for fibers. Nitto Seimo has led the world in developing the “Knotless net" having a high environment compatibility using “paper which is made of 100% natural materials." Retaining the high strength obtained by the unique knotless structure, it remains stable to water and returns to the soil when disposed. It is employed for succor goal nets as well as sporting nets and agricultural materials.
Just place the shopping net in the shopping basket at super markets or convenience stores to cover it. Put the products in the net and take out the net from the shopping basket to save the trouble of repacking. “Declare eco-friendly shopping with my bag." The plastic shopping bags distributed nationwide a year count 30 billion pieces in Japan. About 30% of them are disposed as rubbish without being recycled. “Amigo (Shopping net)" is born from a fish net. It is washable and keeps clean always.
Space debris in orbit has risks not only to hit and destroy satellites in service but scatter a number of debris by hitting each other. Prompt measures are needed to be taken in order to avoid such a consequence as the utilization of the space becomes no longer possible due to the exponential increase of the debris caused by the repetition of hitting of the debris born by hitting. “Space Debris Removable System" clears away the used satellites or rockets.It is the ultimate solution to help solve the debris problem. Nitto Seimo is working on the development of the debris removable system in collaboration with JAXA aiming at its practical use in 2010.
