The Business Forum provides a unique multi-stakeholder platform to support 
business action and partnerships to achieve the UN Sustainable Development 
Goals (SDGs) (

) -- fostering public-private dialogues, catalyzing new partnerships and 
alliances, and exploring innovative business solutions to accelerate 
sustainable development. 

Kaneka PHBH(TM) can replace common plastic products such as plates, straws, 
cups, cutlery or any other single-use items. 

Kaneka hopes to find an alternative solution to the current single-use plastic 
products as the company recognizes the need to bring to market a plant-based 
product that will help reduce the Ocean and Landfill pollution. Currently, it 
is estimated that about 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every 
year which has created a massive environmental issue in the world's oceans** 

We are extremely honored to be part of this event taking place during the 
Climate Summit week in New York City. This event is hosted by the International 
Chamber of Commerce and Global Compact and features high-level government and 
corporate speakers from around the world.
