The human use of biological catalysts goes back centuries, often unknowingly, helping to brew beverages, create fertilizers and develop early pharmaceutical products. As sustainability now plays a major role in business decisions, companies in the chemicals sector are now going back to their roots\u2014making use of naturally derived enzymes in favor of harsh artificial chemicals.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One such firm is Japan\u2019s Nissin Kagaku Kenkyusho. Founded almost one hundred years ago in rural Ehime Prefecture, Nissin\u2019s history began with producing agents for the burgeoning pulp and paper industries and now extends into new areas, including cosmetics and other consumer products. Headed by a father-son duo, Haruo and Yuichiro Kato, serving as chairman and president of the company, respectively, the firm is positioning itself as a \u201cbiochemical assistant,\u201d providing solutions based on its extensive expertise. \u201cWe are dedicated to solving the challenges manufacturers face through chemical approaches,\u201d said Chairman Kato.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Enzymes are essential in recycling waste paper through biological means, and in recent years, Nissin has seen remarkable growth around this use case. \u201cWe receive a large number of inquiries related to sustainable products, particularly those that contribute to recycling. Many clients ask us to develop solutions that can bring waste materials back to their virgin state, allowing them to be reused,\u201d Kato said. Nissin\u2019s unique silicone-dissolving technology allows for quick and efficient cleaning of machinery in the molding industry, saving both time and labor. Similarly, its pitch control agents, developed from decades of experience in the paper industry, improve product quality. \u201cIt is essential first to remove stains from the waste paper. These stains generate sticky substances, known as pitch, which not only impacts product quality, but also cause significant challenges during manufacturing. Our pitch control method addresses this problem effectively,\u201d Kato said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Looking ahead, Nissin has set its eyes on the global market for expansion, with a new dedicated division handling overseas trade. \u201cWe are establishing strategic partnerships with companies in Asia and Europe,\u201d said President Kato. \u201cAlthough still in early stages, we expect our collaborations to support important export activities, enabling us to bring overseas products to Japan and to market our products internationally. Our long-term vision is to become a truly international chemical solutions partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib ntv-figure\"><span class=\"fr-img-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\" src=\"https:\/\/ntvassets-a.akamaihd.net\/F319C00D4520494EB57D98DD0781475C.png\" width=\"606\" height=\"414\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib ntv-figure\"><span class=\"fr-img-wrap\"><span class=\"fr-inner ntv-figcaption\"><em>Nissin\u2019s diverse team is ready to take on new challenges in the chemicals industry.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\" src=\"https:\/\/ntvassets-a.akamaihd.net\/07A65B02C98C4F6BA5F43D17CB22E245.png\" width=\"613\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the world of chemistry, enzymes are increasingly seen as the key to solving many industrial and environmental challenges.
