The CP Concrete *1 Consortium (CPCC), of which Topy Industries Ltd. (President and CEO: Hiromi Ishii) is a member, is offering a "Parallel Tour" attraction in the Future City pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai Expo, where visitors can experience the future city made possible by CP Concrete. *2 This is an opportunity for visitors to learn about CP Concrete, which is being developed with the aim of contributing to a decarbonized society.
Since the opening of the Expo, many people have visited the CPCC exhibition area every day, and on June 19th, the number of visitors finally exceeded 100,000 *3.
As a commemorative gift for the 100,000th visitor, we presented a chick made of CP concrete that "eats" CO2 and becomes heavy.
Visitors who experienced the attractions at this place have commented that "the story of the Parallel Tour was easy to understand" and "I learned that CP concrete is a material that absorbs CO2 and helps prevent global warming." CP concrete is also used for the seats in the CPCC exhibition place, as well as the pavement and benches around the "City of the Future" pavilion, and the floor blocks and benches of the indoor corridor.
Please come and experience "CP Concrete," which has the unique ability to absorb and fix CO2, at the Expo site.

*1: Abbreviation for CARBON POOL concrete. This project builds a local circulation system in which CO₂ generated during the cement burning process is fixed as industrial waste from concrete and reused as concrete material. Furthermore, concrete that uses new technology to absorb and fix CO₂ at the maximum and fastest rate achieves carbon negative status by fixing and reducing 310-350 kg-CO2/m3 of CO₂, which is more than the amount generated during the cement burning process. The development of CP concrete is a commissioned project of the Green Innovation Fund by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization).
*2: CP Concrete Consortium is a sponsor of the Osaka-Kansai Expo Future Society Showcase "Future Life Expo: Future City" as a bronze partner.
