DNP's Eco-Friendly Technologies Contribute to Realizing Carbon Neutrality

Abstract

Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) has been broadening the business fields of products and services by research and development (R&D) since its founding in 1876. Until the 1950s, the main business was “Ink on Paper” mainly for the books and magazines. We have been researching and developing new products applying printing technologies to the plastic films, glasses, and metals instead of paper in these decades. Now our business fields are broadened to the fields including electronics and photo imaging services. In recent years, considering and targeting the Carbon Neutrality is essential. We are using environmentally friendly materials with the properties needed for each application by adding the functional materials and layers. In the packaging field, the mono-material and recyclable design is one of our solutions. Also, in the area of semiconductors, we are developing the components that will reduce the power consumption. Such activities using printing technologies are described.
