Canon Inc announced its participation as a partner in the “WIPO GREEN” operated by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) as an international framework for technological exchanges on environmental conservation.

As a result of this participation, the company has registered bioplastic-related technologies that it has developed to date in database of WIPO GREEN, including technologies for producing highly shock-resistant plastics from plant-derived raw materials and technologies for maintaining strength and flame retardancy when recycling plastics.

This makes it possible for companies and individuals needing environmental conservation-related technologies to utilize Canon’s technologies.

Through WIPO GREEN, the Company is disclosing and providing technologies that can contribute to solving environmental issues to the public, thereby contributing to reducing environmental impact, spreading environmental technologies, and achieving SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
