An Innovative New Material for Purifying Water and Air View Concept Video View Concept Video News Updated: Triporous’ Purpose Triporous’ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Turning Rice Husks into Gold Sony’s latest innovation: Triporous™, a porous carbon material made from rice husks. Thanks to its unique patented microstructure with 3 different pore sizes, Triporous offers potential applications in a wide range of fields, such as water and air purification. By making use of excess rice husks, Triporous will lead to technological breakthroughs in various areas including textiles, bringing us closer to a recycling-oriented society. Purpose Solving social issues through Triporous business We contribute to improving the global environment and realize a sustainable, prosperous life with our partners By producing Triporous, we can help realize recycle-oriented society and decrease air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions caused by the disposal of rice husks. By using Triporous, we can help solve various social issues such as water problems, air pollution, infectious diseases. Sustainability Triporous is a new material made from rice husks, of which more than 100 million tons is generated worldwide each year. Recycling this excess biomass contributing to the realization of a more environmentally conscious, recycling-oriented society. Read more Technology The use of rice husks as a raw material gives Triporous a unique microstructure that enables easy adsorption of materials that are difficult to adsorb with conventional activated carbon. Adsorption speed is also much faster. Read more Possibilities Taking advantage of the outstanding adsorption characteristics of Triporous, we are working to develop products and solutions for a variety of fields that require water purification, air purification, or deodorization.
