Linkers Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Hidekuni Kafuku) will host a hybrid seminar on Friday, May 29, 2026, titled "Raw Material Self-Sufficiency Strategy Based on Economic Security – Learning from the 2026 Naphtha Shock, Latest Trends in Chemical Recycling and CO2 Chemicals."
With increasing international tensions and strengthening export regulations, securing stable raw materials is an urgent issue for Japanese companies. This seminar will focus on two major technologies responsible for breaking away from oil dependence: "chemical recycling" and "CO2-derived chemical synthesis." It will delve into the future of raw material procurement from three perspectives: policy, technology, and intellectual property.
■ Background of the Event: Shifting Raw Material Procurement from "Cost Optimization" to "Economic Security"
Amid the normalization of geopolitical risks, traditional cost-priority procurement strategies have reached their limits. The situation surrounding petrochemical raw materials (naphtha), in particular, could shake Japan's manufacturing foundation. This seminar will update the concept of raw material procurement to an "economic security" perspective and visualize the latest technological trends, thereby providing concrete guidelines for companies to follow.
■ Highlights of This Seminar
Explanation of "Two Technological Breakthroughs": Detailed explanation of the forefront of plastic chemical recycling and CO2-derived chemical synthesis technologies.
Analysis from Three Perspectives: Presenting multifaceted future predictions from policy trends, advanced technologies, and patent analysis.
【On-site Only】Experience Session & Benefits: Opportunity to experience the "Linkers TX" technology exploration platform and receive a list of approximately 200 technology categories.
