Tsushima Project
Tsushima Island, situated between Japan and Korea, is struggling with a growing issue of plastic waste being transported by ocean currents and winds to its shores. Our goal is to collect all marine plastic waste in Tsushima, establish a process to convert it into resources and energy, and use it to foster industries based on a non-petroleum, circular economy.

Supply Chain Innovation for Marine Resources
Utilizing the latest refrigeration systems, we are working to collaborate and co-create with local industries by revitalizing the food industry.
SARAYA's refrigeration systems provide safe, high-quality products and business support by proposing total solutions for the development of high-quality frozen foods and hygiene management. We combine the five points of pre-freezing, packaging, freezing, preservation, and thawing to ensure the freshness of products, from their origin to their consumption.
SARAYA is committed to solving the challenges of marine resources with its technology and know-how with the liquid Rapid Freezer.

Co-creation Action with the Blue Ocean Initiative
SARAYA participates in the Blue Ocean Initiative, taking on the challenge of co-creating action with startups, research institutions, and other companies and organizations that share an interest in the ocean. We will work together to solve urgent ocean issues such as combating marine plastic pollution, managing marine resources to create a sustainable marine industry, and promoting the spread of blue carbon.
A pile of plastic trash as tall as a man.
The scene I witnessed on the coast of Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture, was beyond description. Huge amounts of trash washing ashore with the ocean currents.
The world's oceans are currently facing many problems.
SARAYA is working to solve them.
