NPU takes pride in the fact that polyurethane is an environmentally friendly chemical that not only saves energy but also contributes to the prevention of global warming. Polyurethane is a resin, and is an important solution to the various recycling, global warming and related environmental problems that have recently confronted chemical manufacturers. At NPU, we have developed and brought into the market products like the tightly sealed, high insulation foam, health and environmentally friendly water-borne polyurethane resins and adhesives which do not emit formaldehyde, etc. In the future, NPU will still continue to develop and produce products that are environmental friendly.   In order to facilitate an objective standard in the understanding of  our environmental protection activities, we have achieved the ISO 14001 international standard certification for environmental management systems.   The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an organization which encourages internationally generic management systems. At present, there is the ISO 9000 series primarily concerned with quality management systems, and the ISO 14000 series primarily concerned with environmental management.                Since 1996, NPU has been a member of Japan Responsible Care Committee. As a manufacturer of chemical products, NPU observes safety, health and environment protection at all levels of production from R & D to manufacturing, sales, consumption and waste disposal.
