In the home appliance sector, we focus on "recycling," which is one of the goals of the SDGs, and actively propose stainless steel, aluminum, and copper materials that can be recycled.
To address the potential cost increase associated with switching materials, we leverage the characteristics of each type of steel, proposing solutions such as thinner and lighter materials, and offer benefits that go beyond simply reducing costs.

Deodorization catalysts used in cooking appliances contain palladium and platinum, but the price increases of these precious metals have a significant impact, resulting in a heavy burden for our customers.
We work together with our customers and material manufacturers to propose alternative materials and review the over-specification of existing products, offering suggestions to achieve optimal specifications.

For components in home appliances that use zinc-coated steel sheets for strength and deep drawing performance, we have proposed highly formable aluminum alloys.
Although the material cost itself increases, we offer advantages in total cost by achieving weight reduction and expanding procurement options.
