<aside> đź’ˇ appcycle Inc. (based in Aomori, founded in 2022) is an innovative company focused on promoting upcycling and enhancing agricultural sustainability.
Its core business revolves around developing and supplying RINGO-TEX, a domestic synthetic leather incorporating apple content. This pioneering solution utilizes food waste—specifically the pomace from Aomori apples—transforming regional agricultural by-products into high-value, eco-friendly materials through proprietary upcycling technology. This approach highly differentiates the company in the market.
By minimizing waste and actively engaging in farmer support, appcycle contributes directly to the SDGs. The company also promotes flexible, global working styles, pioneering a unique model that successfully balances social contribution with business growth. 　 The challenge of sustainable agriculture is incredible. I look forward to keeping an eye on the company's activities from now on. (AS)
