We are continuing to challenge biodegradation, which means that even after the product is no longer used, it breaks down into water and carbon dioxide. We're also working hard to improve our kinari material to achieve 100% plant-based content with no compromises on performance, while developing a more efficient recycling process in order to realise a completely closed circular material system.  [Read More](https://blog.ppe-biz.com/en/kinari/news/20230316-0-0-0-0-0-0) ![](https://blog.ppe-biz.com/hubfs/%E5%BB%83%E6%A3%84%E6%A4%8D%E7%89%A9%E3%81%AB%E4%BE%A1%E5%80%A4%E3%82%92-%E8%8B%B1%E8%AA%9E.png) [kinari News](https://blog.ppe-biz.com/en/kinari/news/tag/kinari-news) 14 November, 2023 ### [kinari - Adding value to waste plants](https://blog.ppe-biz.com/en/kinari/news/20230316-0-0-0-0-0) kinari is a sustainable material that uses highly concentrated natural raw materials and reduces the use of petroleum by 55-70%. We create new value from discarded plant resources such as thinned bamboo and cypress wood, corn, and coffee grounds. We're working hard to improve our kinari material to achieve 100% plant-based content with no compromises on performance, while developing a more efficient recycling process in order to realise a completely closed circular material system.

Kinari is a high performance, plant-based plastic materials containing up to 85% cellulose; yet it has almost the same properties as petroleum-based resins. This video introduces key features of kinari, examples of kinari-based product development in collaborations with Japanese and global companies, and Panasonic’ approaches to realize circular-economy based society under the Group’s long-term environmental vision called Panasonic Green Impact (PGI).  [Read More](https://blog.ppe-biz.com/en/kinari/news/20230316-0-0-0)
