Triporous

An Innovative New Material for
Purifying Water and Air
News

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

SDGs 12 Responsible consumption and production
SDGs 11 Sustainable cities and communities
SDGs 13 Climate action
SDGs 17 Partnerships for the goals

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.

SDGs 3 Good health and well-being
SDGs 6 Clean water and sanitation
SDGs 11 Sustainable cities and communities
SDGs 17 Partnerships for the goals

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.
