33 fires a year! We want to detect lithium-ion batteries in collected waste and prevent fires!
With the cooperation of the Waste Reduction Promotion Division of the Kasugai City Environment Department, we will verify whether our sensing technology can detect devices containing lithium-ion batteries inside plastic containers.
Battery use will continue to expand in many forms, and how to recycle these batteries is also becoming an important social issue. Moreover, as technological innovation increases energy density, the risk of ignition and explosion grows, making early collection essential in waste processing.
Through this opportunity, we will do our utmost to ensure our technology contributes to solving these issues.
