subscribers * Academic price: ¥26,400 (tax included) Instructor: Tatsuhiko Hatakeyama, CEO, DCTA Co., Ltd. 〈Seminar Purpose〉
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in a wide range of industrial applications due to their unique and useful properties. However, concerns about their environmental and human safety are growing. This seminar will focus on the characteristics, regulations, and health and environmental impacts of PFAS, as well as trends in the development of alternative materials and the current state of supply chain transparency and quality control using IoT and AI. In addition, new topics have been added, including “Should ePTFE be considered an extended PFAS?” and “Water quality analysis methods for PFAS,” aiming to further in-depth discussion and provide practical information. Through these activities, participants will deepen their understanding of the PFAS issue and receive content that will be useful in responding to it in the field. *This seminar will be live-streamed using the video conferencing tool “Zoom” on the day of the event. Please refer to the tool for recommended environment requirements. The viewing URL will be emailed to you at a later date. ★Recording and photography during the class are strictly prohibited. 2) How to apply Please apply through the CMC Research seminar website.

[Instructor Background] Joined Mitsubishi Chemical in 1989. After working in plastic development, technology, and
production, he was involved in the establishment, design,
construction, and launch of Mitsubishi Chemical Group in-house factories (in Japan and China), as well as serving as head of the manufacturing department. At DCTA, which he founded in 2014, he leverages his production management skills from his previous job to support factory improvements for manufacturing companies and provide management reform consulting services. He is also involved in the development of plastic recycling technology, product development, and the creation of IoT and AI solutions for various factory operations. He is also participating in the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Recovery Project with his patented flexible container technology that blocks gamma rays. He is also actively involved in environmental projects, serving as team leader for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s CLOMA (Clean Ocean Materials Alliance) initiative, where he is responsible for marine plastic waste reduction projects in Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Mauritius. He has deep knowledge of international waste management and recycling
technologies, and is able to understand regional differences in waste awareness and recycling attitudes and propose specific
countermeasures. He also has a strong network of contacts and dignitaries both overseas and locally, and is well-versed in trends in chemical substance regulations, including PFAS.
