What the company does
Fermenstation Co., Ltd. uses its own fermentation technology to turn previously unused resources into materials. At the centre of this is a rice ethanol fermented from organic rice grown on fallow paddy fields in Oshu City, Iwate.
The rice lees left by fermentation are not discarded either — they go into cosmetic ingredients and animal feed. Using both the input and its by-products is what distinguishes the company's approach to upcycling.
