Nagase ChemteX Corporation, along with its parent company Nagase & Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Hiroyuki Ueshima) and LiveDo Corporation (Head Office: Osaka, Osaka; President and Representative Director: Tomohito Uda) have entered into an agreement for the joint development of adult disposable diapers and incontinence products.

This joint development aims to release a product in 2027 or later using a polymer developed by the NAGASE Group with a high biomass content and biodegradability, as well as high absorbability (SAP), as the absorbent material in disposable diapers by LiveDo Corporation.

This practical implementation of environmentally-friendly sanitary products using SAPs with high biomass content is a pioneering example, and they will be sold to nursing care facilities, medical facilities, and drugstores as sustainable products.
