CUBORO: Smart Sustainable Swiss Toys a Big Success in Japan 🚀   Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Sebastian Etter from the Swiss toy company CUBORO at the Swiss Business Hub Japan to discuss their journey in the Japanese market. 🤝   👨👩👧👦 Founded in 1986, CUBORO is a small family-owned business specializing in premium wooden marble runs, each piece being meticulously designed and crafted for quality and durability in Bern, Switzerland.   🎨 Originally designed to stimulate creativity and problem-solving and fine-motor skills in children, CUBORO is gaining popularity across all generations and now also finds use in elderly homes and corporate strategy workshops. 💡   🥉Finding the right partner is crucial: thanks to its top partner Atelier #Nikitiki, @CUBORO has seen significant growth since entering the market more than 20 years ago. In 2017, a Japanese neuroscientist confirmed in a documentary about Sota Fujii, the youngest world' champion in the chess game Shogi, that playing with CUBORO is a crucial brain-training exercise for children. The resulting boom for CUBORO in Japan has even led to some capacity constraints and today, Japan is CUBORO's 3rd most important market.   Learn more about CUBORO and their products on their website or have a look at them at the SWISS Pavilion at the Osaka World Expo 2025! 👉 https://lnkd.in/erJJ7Q78   Fabian Stiefvater, Gregor Muischneek, Swiss Business Hub Japan, Embassy of Switzerland in Japan, Switzerland Global Enterprise, Presence Switzerland #CUBORO #SwissMade #SuccessStory #JapaneseMarket #SWISSPavilion #Expo2025

♻A New Initiative Generating Hydrogen From Aluminum Waste♻ #Japan heavily relies on imported aluminum, with an annual consumption of approximately 4 million tons, 40% of which is #recycled secondary alloy ingot. According to the Japan Aluminum Association, domestic recycling rates have consistently exceeded 90% from 2014 to 2022. Recycling requires just 3% of the energy needed to produce new aluminum ingot, contributing to energy conservation. However, thin aluminum used in items like beverage cartons and blister packs is challenging to recycle, posing disposal difficulties. Effective utilization has been sought to respond to environmental concerns. Venture company AL-HY-TEC in Toyama prefecture has developed a dry distillation furnace for aluminum separation and a hydrogen production unit. Their successful operation of a verification plant for hydrogen generation from aluminum waste, producing about 5 kg of #hydrogen per hour, is a testament to the viability of this #innovative approach. Following this success, they launched Japan’s first initiative to extract hydrogen from discarded aluminum for electricity generation at resort facilities. The system debuted at Hotel Mikazuki in Chiba Prefecture on June 26. "We aim not to incinerate aluminum but to revive it as a resource for energy," said the project leaders. They also plan to use hydrogen power for #landbased #aquaculture to rear over 100,000 shrimp! This marks Japan’s first land-based aquaculture at a resort hotel. This initiative is a positive step towards integrating sustainable practices into resort operations, setting an example for #environmental stewardship in the #hospitality industry!
