Nippon Shokubai Teams with LiveDo and Total Care System to Spread Used Disposable Diaper-recycling Systems

Leave a comment

OSAKA and FUKUOKA, Japan, Nov. 17, 2020 — 

 – New Recycling Technology Developed for Superabsorbent Polymers –

Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Nippon Shokubai"), LiveDo Corporation (hereinafter "LiveDo"), both headquartered in Osaka, Japan, and Total Care System Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Total Care System") headquartered in Fukuoka, Japan, are jointly developing a variety of technologies to promote the spread of systems that recycle disposable diapers, the use of which continues to increase. The three companies have recently developed a new technology for recycling superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) in used diapers. The technology can be applied to a wide variety of SAPs distributed worldwide.

On March 31, 2020, the Ministry of the Environment released the Guidelines for Recycling Used Disposable Diapers. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) is also aiming to establish a guideline for the acceptance of used disposable diapers into the sewage system based on the New Sewerage Vision Acceleration Strategy. Recycling of used disposable diapers, the amount of which continues to increase, is thus expected to be promoted.

Total Care System was the first in Japan to build a recycling system for used disposable diapers, one of the few in the world, and it has been in the business for 15 years. Disposable diapers are mainly composed of pulp, plastic, and SAPs. Recycled pulp has been effectively used as a raw material for building materials (e.g., exterior and interior wall materials), and plastic has been thermally recovered as solid fuel. Currently, research and development of material recycling are underway.

Nippon Shokubai, which has the world’s largest SAP market share (based on production volume*), joined the initiative in November 2018 to explore recycling technologies for SAPs, which had remained a challenge, and succeeded in developing new recycling technologies through joint research with the two partners: major disposable diaper manufacturer LiveDo and Total Care System.

The recycling process for used disposable diapers used to face the challenge that SAPs, which would swell from absorbing urine, reduced the recovery rate of paper pulp, or even if SAPs were recovered, they were difficult to reuse because of the significant decrease in performance.

The three companies jointly developed the following technologies to overcome this challenge.

– Technology to increase the recovery rate of paper pulp by processing SAPs, which swell from absorbing urine, and to improve the separation from paper pulp

– Recovery technology that minimizes SAP performance degradation
These technologies are designed to reduce energy consumption during recycling and to protect the water quality of rivers and other bodies of water. They can also be applied to all SAPs produced by Nippon Shokubai, as well as to various SAPs around the world.

In addition to raising these technologies to a practical level, the three companies, which are a raw material manufacturer, a disposable diaper manufacturer, and a recycling business, plan to work together to develop and commercialize materials and products that are easy to recycle and new recycling technology for used disposable diapers.

We want to make it simple for our clients to go digital and acclimatise themselves to the current economy," said Victor Lysenko, founder and CEO of Osome.

Strategic partnership in brain imaging and AI

PARIS, MONTREAL, and QUEBEC CITY, Oct. 13, 2020 —

  • Acquisition of TRUE POSITIVE MEDICAL DEVICES by QYNAPSE
  • A strategic collaboration that covers 15 patents, including 9 issued in the U.S. and Canada
  • A unique technology alliance to improve clinical trials performance and personalize brain diseases management

QYNAPSE SAS, a French medical technology company, today announces the acquisition of the Canadian company TRUE POSITIVE MEDICAL DEVICES Inc. (TPMD), a spin-off from the universities of McGill and Laval. The objective of this strategic collaboration is to combine TPMD’s technologies, patents and expertise with Qynapse’s know-how and product line – and thus form the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) platform in the field of imaging of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.

The QyScore application
The QyScore application

Over the past fifteen years, the founders of TPMD, Prof. Louis Collins (McGill University, Montreal, Canada) and Prof. Simon Duchesne (Université Laval, Quebec City, Canada) have established one of the most impressive scientific and technological asset bases in brain imaging and AI applied to this field, supported by more than 500 publications and scientific communications. These technologies are already being used in Canada by leading research consortia and private international players in studies specifically related to neurodegeneration, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

QYNAPSE is already marketing its first QyScore® medical device to clinical centers in Europe and the United States. Its platform is also used in clinical trials involving dozens of centers worldwide. The collaboration with TPMD will allow QYNAPSE to extend the applications of its QyScore® software to other brain diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, autism, schizophrenia, and head trauma – and also to develop new software to predict clinical progression for individual patients and optimize enrollment in clinical trials.

QYNAPSE’s acquisition of TPMD covers 15 patents, including 9 issued in the United States and Canada, grouped into nine technological asset families. The founders of TPMD will join QYNAPSE’s scientific board, setting the stage for a long-term collaboration.

According to Prof. Louis Collins: "QYNAPSE is a very promising partner for TPMD and both McGill and Laval universities, which will allow us to accelerate the regulatory approval and marketing of the technologies we have developed in recent years".

HPD Lendscape Partners With Emirates Development Bank to Launch New National Supply Chain Finance Platform

Leave a comment

LONDON, Oct. 13, 2020 — HPD LendScape, a leading international secured lending platform vendor, today announces it has partnered with Emirates Development Bank (EDB) to launch UAE’s National Supply Chain Finance (SCF) platform, giving UAE businesses improved access to working capital, particularly as they cope with the added pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SCF solutions enable suppliers to gain quicker access to money they are owed, while buyers get more time to pay off their balances and the new platform will offer a simple, fast and transparent way for bank lenders to onboard both buyers and suppliers. The initial phase of the project offering a payables finance solution has now gone live. The next phase is set to provide a comprehensive suite of buyer and supplier centric SFC variations, including Islamic Finance products.

Bringing together buyers, suppliers and banks onto one platform, the National Supply Chain Finance solution helps simplify and automate operations, mitigate risk more effectively and make SME finance easily accessible – much needed in the UAE today.

Claudia Perri, Regional Commercial Director Southern EMEA for HPD LendScape, commented: "We are delighted to announce this new partnership with Emirates Development Bank and launch the National Supply Chain Finance platform. Through this platform, UAE banks and other lenders have the opportunity to help businesses optimise supply chains, improve working capital and streamline their operations – never more critical than during the pandemic."

Faisal Aqil Al Bastaki, Chief Executive Officer of EDB, said: "With SME’s facing an unprecedented challenge, accessing efficient finance is vital. In our role as the UAE’s development bank, EDB is filling the gap and has launched a first class National Supply Chain Finance Platform, powered by one of the best names in the business, HPD LendScape. Such a sophisticated and digitally enhanced SCF platform is a crucial resource to any well-functioning economy; lenders and buyers should take advantage of it to ensure that SMEs continue to play their part in the UAE’s economic growth, long after Covid-19 has passed."

Kevin Day, CEO of HPD LendScape, said: "We’re thrilled to work together with EDB on this landmark partnership. Going live in record time and fully implemented remotely, the project demonstrates the value of a truly collaborative approach, with ourselves, EDB and the IFC all working successfully together to ensure project success."
