Materials

Evaluation and analysis play a major role in developing sustainable materials for industries.

HORIBA contributes to identify and overcome climate challenges, paving the way for a more sustainable future. The key challenges of materials science involve innovation, traceability, circularity, climate contribution, carbon neutrality, zero pollution, and decarbonization.

One of the primary focuses lies in the research and development of new materials, including polymers, metals, composites, biomaterials, carbon materials for energy, and raw materials for semiconductors.

HORIBA helps to:

• Create materials by harnessing chemistry sustainable by design, which not only meet industry standards but also minimize adverse effects on the environment.
• Reduce waste generation and energy consumption by streamlining manufacturing processes, ultimately contributing to overall sustainability efforts.
• Contribute to net zero emissions by transforming captured CO₂ into new materials.
• Implement recycling solutions ensuring that materials are reused efficiently, and thus closing the loop on resource utilization.

These efforts extend across the entire material supply chain, from R&D to manufacturing and recycling.
