Bipass: Exploring New Paths for Resources

A Platform for Discussions on the Future of Biomass

Global chemical company Daicel and creative media outlet Chizai Zukan have jointly developed and operated Bipass, a web media platform dedicated to exploring new resource pathways.

Focusing on biomass, Daicel’s core technology, Bipass goes beyond the company’s initiatives to feature efforts from various organizations and industries. By encouraging discussions and raising awareness, it aims to expand the social recognition of biomass and build a network of contributors working toward a sustainable future.

Co-Creating Value with Partners for a Circular Society

The company is focused on developing a new biomass product tree using renewable resources like forest materials, along with innovative process technologies that minimize environmental impact. These efforts aim to contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral, circular society.
