Turning Rice Husks into Gold
News
A breakthrough from rice Husks
Triporous™, a new material developed by Sony, is a naturally derived porous carbon material made from rice husks.
With its patented unique microstructure, a wide range of applications is expected such as water and air purification.
Furthermore, by effectively utilizing excess resources, Triporous could contribute to reduction of environmental impact and to a recycle-oriented society while generating the next breakthrough technology.
Purpose
Solving social issues through Triporous business
With Triporous and our partners, we will contribute to reduce an environmental impact, and achieve a sustainable and abundant lifestyle.
By manufacturing Triporous, we will contribute to achieving recycling-oriented economy and reducing atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions caused by disposal of rice husks.
With Triporous, we will solve various social issues,
such as water problems, air pollution, and infectious diseases.
