## About

Based in Kusatsu, Japan, and founded in 2022 by President and Chief Executive Officer Mayuko Nishihara, developed biomass CO2 absorbents that can be integrated into plastics to create DAC Plastics (Direct Air Capture Plastics). In September 2024, Behomal Co., Ltd raised seed funding from Plus Social Investment.  

Behomal Co., Ltd developed direct air capture plastics (DAC) plastic by incorporating plant-derived CO2 absorbent materials into conventional plastics. These plastics then absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, playing a role in decarbonization. The company emphasizes that while large-scale CO2 capture plants are important, their goal is to empower individuals to take part in environmental action through accessible products. The CO2 captured can be reused in various ways, promoting resource circulation. In addition, the firm’s absorbent materials are biodegradable for mixing into petroleum-based plastics.
