Mitsubishi Rayon subsidiary Mitsubishi Rayon Cleansui has
started sales and leasing of the Cleansui Water next-generation
home water purifier. The Cleansui Water purifier started life as a
demonstration unit developed by the company as part of its “Water
alive—Drink the tap water!” promotional campaign. The purifier
received high acclaim whenever it was shown at promotional
events and being swamped
with inquiries from people
wanting to acquire and install
the equipment, the company
decided to bring it to market.
The technology built into
and the materials used in the
new Cleansui Water purifier
mean people can fill personal
water bottles and other water
containers with safe and greattasting
tap water. |

NYK’s 87,000 DWT bulk carrier the Shirakumo arrived at the No.
5 Wharf in the port of Soma in Fukushima prefecture on February
9. The Shirakumo is the first coal carrier to berth at the wharf
since the Great East Japan Earthquake. The ship was carrying
63,000 tons of coal from Newcastle, Australia, destined for the
Shinchi thermal power station operated by Soma Kyodo Power
Co. Ltd. The No. 5 Wharf resumed operations after the sterling
efforts of many parties, and this has seen a dramatic recovery
in the Soma port’s ability to handle deliveries of coal by sea. By
continuing to ship coal to the Soma port on a stable basis NYK will
be contributing to the reconstruction of, and to the stable supply of
energy in, quake-stricken areas. |

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Hitachi and Mitsubishi
Corporation (MC) are three companies to have been selected as
joint contractors for the Smart Community System Demonstration
Project in Spain¹ by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial
Technology Development Organization (NEDO), an incorporated
administrative agency. The project plans call for MHI, which has
a strong track record in intelligent transport systems, to supply
the electric vehicle (EV) management center, 200 EVs, in-vehicle
units and high-speed EV chargers. The company will also test
the viability of the EV center, the EV infrastructure, and the
power management system which will handle fluctuations in a
power supply that is dependent on renewable energy sources.
Hitachi will provide the demand-side management system,
which is coupled with ICT systems, high-speed EV chargers and
the demand-side management related to power management
systems. MC will look into the commercial viability of the related
solutions business and will also create a package that integrates
business elements and services while studying options for rolling
this out to global markets. |

| Mitsubishi Plastics has recently developed DIAWRAP™ SUPER
PHM, a new grade of stretch film used for tray packaging of fresh
meat and fish sold in supermarkets and other food products. It
has been found that an extremely small amount of migration of
constituents into foodstuffs occurs when films are used to wrap food
products with a high fat content. The new DIAWRAP SUPER PHM is a polyolefin-based stretch film which complies with regulations in
Europe and China setting the standards on the types of constituents
and migration limits in order to
guarantee food safety. Mitsubishi
Plastics launched DIAWRAP
SUPER PHM in European and
Chinese markets in April this year
as a strategic product to exploit
the global market. |
