SUSTAINABILITY
Water treatment technology and environmental conservation
“Creating a global environment from water”
Contributing to environmental challenges with products and technology
As a manufacturer of separation membranes widely used in water treatment, our products are used extensively in water purification plants and wastewater treatment. By treating water, that is a gift from nature, we ensure a stable supply of drinking water, and by performing wastewater treatment for contaminated water discharged after use and returning it to nature, we directly support a sustainable cycle of water resources.
Disinfection technology and social safety
“Support social safety with water”
Contributing to medical care with products and technology
Our products also contribute to the medical field through their applications in water disinfection. Membrane technology supports the safety of society and the health of people. For example, our products are used to disinfect water for pharmaceutical applications and produce water required for dialysis treatment in hospitals and clinics at medical sites. In dialysis treatment, which is closely related to the daily routines of patients, we have made various advances, such as not only disinfecting water, but also developing products equipped with a remote monitoring system to ensure stable treatment.
Improvement in efficiency by using new separation membranes
“Creating a sustainable society with separation membranes”
Contributing to the forefront by exploring new applications
Separation membrane products of DAICEN MEMBRANE-SYSTEMS are used in separation, purification, and concentration systems for various components by taking advantage of their characteristics. Our products are also attracting attention as useful products for energy-efficient production processes and resource recovery methods. In addition, we are expanding the possibilities of separation membranes by proposing power-saving systems using membrane-treated water to contribute to a sustainable society.
Eco-friendly approach starting from product materials
Cellulose acetate separation membrane with low environmental impact
We offer a lineup of membrane products with low environmental impact, which use Daicel Corporation’s cellulose acetate, a type of biodegradable plastic, as a separation membrane material.
Cellulose acetate is a semi-natural high-molecular polymer produced from “cellulose (plant fiber)” derived from non-edible plants and naturally occurring “acetic acid.” It is highly biodegradable and friendly to the environment and human health. Daicel Corporation uses trees, cotton, and other plants that are systematically cultivated as raw materials to make effective use of natural resources.
As a member of the Daicel Group,
we strive to realize a recycling-based society
DAICEN MEMBRANE-SYSTEMS conducts its business activities based on the Daicel Group’s Sustainable Management Policy. We also share production bases with Daicel Corporation and are working on creating a production system with low environmental impact.
The Daicel Group combines the diversity of each employee to realize sustainability in our products, manufacturing processes, and people. Further, we always look to expand the circle of value co-creation to include our partners who share the same goals, and contribute to building a recycling-based society.
Initiatives to Achieve SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are international development goals that aim to create a sustainable and better world by 2030, as set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was unanimously adopted by member countries at the United Nations summit held in September 2015.
SDGs consist of 17 goals and 169 targets in order to ensure “Leave No One Behind (LNOB)” on the planet.
Relationship between Our Products and SDGs
We provide optimum water treatment solutions for various industries through the manufacture and sales of separation membrane modules and system development. Here, we introduce targets which are closely related to our initiatives for environmental preservation measures and water purification.
