I would like to summarize what I have said in this column 20 times so far.

First of all, there are various environmental problems when it comes to environmental problems, but considering the scale of damage (= "How long will hundreds of millions of people be at risk of life?"), "Lack of energy resources, water and food", "Use and disposal of radioactive materials", "Rapid warming" I think that will be the three major problems.

In order to fundamentally solve these three major problems and their damage, the following two issues are important.

(1) Reduce resource consumption per person as much as possible.

(2) Eliminate the problem of global poverty.

I introduced the idea of "factor 4" as an idea to solve these two important issues.

"Factor 4" realizes "double the amount of goods and services while halving resource consumption", that is, "quadruple resource productivity", thereby solving the problem of poverty for humankind. At the same time, the idea is to obtain a foundation that maintains a balance between affluence and the environment over the long term.

To put it the other way around, it is impossible to maintain a balance between affluence and the environment for a long period of time unless resource productivity is at least four times the current level.

At MATSUI, we strongly agree with the idea of "factor 4, double the wealth, and factory resource consumption. factory decided to raise

In order to eliminate these three wastes, such as "waste of energy," "waste of resin," and "waste of water," which still exist in the molding factory, we will start developing equipment to increase resource productivity, diagnose the factory, and use resources. I would like to make thorough proposals to eliminate waste.

At the same time, in order to "double the production volume per hour", we would like to make active proposals such as increasing the molding cycle, increasing the yield, and shortening the setup change time by using new mold technology.

Through our work, we hope to contribute as much as possible to achieving a balance between the global environment, the affluence of our customers, and the realization of a world free of poverty.

In addition, in order to realize "factor 4 of the molding factory", we will set up a model molding line that actually incorporates the proposals we are making in MATSUI 's company's Osaka office, and "factor 4" is possible. We are also going to prove it. This model line is still on the way to factor4, but we are accepting tours at any As necessary, so if you are interested, please Contact our sales offices.
