IBJ, Microorganism Recycling Center (Hinode) Sales of "Waste Paint-Degrading Bacteria" Started at New Facility

Inbound Japan Microorganisms Research Institute (Location: Akiruno City, Tokyo) will begin full-scale sales of the microorganism-based paint recycling and decomposition bacteria completed through joint research with Honda Giken in 2003.

The IBJ Microorganism Recycling Center (Hinode) will be newly established in Hinode-cho, Tokyo, to manufacture and sell the bacteria. The center will use "IBJ Microorganism Culture Soil" manufactured from recycled paint resources, and plant vegetables, fruit trees, and early-growing paulownia trees. A test plot is set up to check germination rate, plant damage, and growth.

Recycled Resource Product Name

IBJ Microorganism Preparation

IBJ is a microbial preparation made by propagating Bacillus bacteria using proprietary fermentation technology. It is effective for cultivation as a microbial culture soil when mixed with "black soil" sold in home vegetable gardens and in general stores.

Outline of the product

Product name: Paint decomposition bacterium (substrate bacterium)

Applicable paints: Water-based, solvent-based, powder, cleaning waste thinner paint, and paint sludge can be recycled.

　　　　　　　　 Paint sludge can be recycled.

Price: Based on the current industrial waste disposal cost, the system is designed and offered at a lower cost.

　　　　　　　　 We will design and provide the system at a lower cost than the current industrial waste disposal cost.

Example: Tokyo "SDGs for Painters in the Town" association members

　　　　　　　　 Sales price of decomposed bacteria: 100 yen / 1 kg of paint recycled

　　　　　　　　 Purchase price of generated products: 1 yen/〃

　　　　　　　　 The cost per drum = 19,800 yen.

　　　　　　　　 (100 yen (sales price of decomposing bacteria) - 1 yen (purchase price of product) x 200 kg = 19,800 yen)
