Visit to The Sumitomo Corporation Pavilion at Expo 2025

On April 18, 2025, the S&T Diplomatic Circle Kansai continued exploring innovative corporate visions at Expo 2025 Osaka with an afternoon tour of the Sumitomo Pavilion. Titled "Regeneration Loop," this compelling exhibition showcased groundbreaking circular economy solutions that redefine how we approach resource management and environmental sustainability.

What makes the Sumitomo Pavilion distinctive is its comprehensive focus on recycling technologies and resource regeneration systems that create continuous value cycles. The pavilion demonstrates how traditional linear consumption models can be transformed into regenerative loops, where waste becomes input for new production processes. Through cutting-edge recycling innovations, Sumitomo Corporation illustrates practical pathways toward a truly circular economy.

The diplomatic delegation engaged with interactive exhibits that brought complex environmental concepts to life, exploring Sumitomo Corporation's deep-rooted historical commitment to environmental stewardship. These hands-on experiences revealed the company's strategic approach to building resilient, resource-conscious societies that can thrive within planetary boundaries while maintaining economic prosperity.

Our special thanks go to Melanie Saxinger and Johannes Schweizer (Germany), for his efforts in coordinating this tour.
