Inorganic binder 'casting yarn', food treatment 'microbes', durable 'biodegradable resin'
[Incheon Jiangsu Special Zone, a leading environmental industry] Eco-friendly tech companies turn dreams into reality
In the Incheon Jiangsu R&D Zone, companies that realize eco-friendly and carbon-neutral values with technology are making distinctive achievements.
Shin Young S & C, which develops eco-friendly casting materials, has established itself as a promising company in the root industry, which is considered a specification industry. Casting yarn, which is used to mold the outlines of automobile parts and various machinery and equipment made of metal, is a core component of the domestic manufacturing industry.
The 'organic binder phenolic resin' used to coat casting sand is considered a representative substance that causes environmental pollution. To solve this problem, Shin Young S&C has been researching 'inorganic binder' based phenolic resin for over 10 years, and since last year, it has been producing eco-friendly casting yarn in earnest and demonstrating it at domestic manufacturing sites. The company has also introduced a process that solves the problem of harmful gases and odors generated during the casting yarn production process, opening a new path in the root industry, which is vulnerable to environmental problems.
Kumkang Bio, which started as a social enterprise, has developed a food waste treatment technology that utilizes microorganisms. Previously, drying or dehydrating food waste was common, but the process of applying heat had the disadvantage of increasing carbon emissions due to the high cost of electricity. Kumkang Bio has developed a waste treatment technology based on microbial liquid fermentation to create a system that is odor-free and low-cost.
The problem of waste residues flowing into sewage and causing water pollution during the liquid fermentation process was also solved by developing a sludge recycling device. The by-products from the device can also be utilized as compost, making it eco-friendly. The three microorganisms developed by Kumkang Bio have received international patent certification.
Other companies have developed biodegradable resins to replace plastic straws and plastic bags. PanEco produces biodegradable resin raw materials and industrial tray products. Using biomass derived from sugarcane, the company has produced disposable products such as shopping bags, as well as raw materials for ocean buoys that cause marine pollution.
Products made from biodegradable materials have the disadvantage of being less durable than traditional synthetic resin products. However, since the mid-2000s, PanEco has succeeded in developing biodegradable resins that are as durable as synthetic resins through many trials and errors. The company plans to expand its product range by developing products that are not yet made of eco-friendly resin in Korea for the first time.
