Example of ECOROCA® usage at the Odaiba boardwalkExample of ECOROCA® usage at the Odaiba boardwalk

 ECOROCA® is a 100% compound, recycled material made from used wood and waste plastic. This new, environment-friendly material, which provides superior durability together with the natural feel of wood, has found its primary applications in such fields as outdoor wooden deck construction. Because of the superior safety provided by ECOROCA®, it is particularly valued as a high quality construction material suited to public facilities and has been adopted in such construction projects as the building of a one-kilometer boardwalk at Odaiba Seaside Park.
 In 2011, Air Water introduced a "heat-blocking deck" which helps keep surface temperature down, even in summer, and it is being increasingly adopted into homes, schools, rooftop gardens and elsewhere. With the Nagano Plant, which produces high-grade product lines and possesses public certification (JIS A5741 certification), as the key driving force, Air Water will continue to release new and innovative products onto the market nationwide.
