Last updated: June 30, 2026
Nissan Motors and Takayama Kasei have introduced new acoustic insulation sheets for construction, named "TS-12" and "TS-20." These innovative sheets are produced using calcium carbonate waste material sourced from Nissan's vehicle paint shops, promoting a circular economy.
- Nissan Motors is leveraging its manufacturing processes to create sustainable building materials. The calcium carbonate, a byproduct of their paint application and drying stages, is reclaimed and repurposed. This initiative addresses waste reduction within Nissan's automotive production.
- Takayama Kasei, a specialist in chemical products, is collaborating with Nissan to develop and manufacture these acoustic insulation sheets. The collaboration focuses on transforming industrial waste into valuable construction materials with soundproofing properties.
- The newly launched "TS-12" and "TS-20" sheets are designed for use in various construction applications where acoustic insulation is crucial. This development signifies a step towards more environmentally conscious manufacturing practices in both the automotive and construction sectors. The process highlights the potential for industrial symbiosis, where waste from one industry becomes a resource for another.
