Advanced Technology Exhibition Hall@TEPIA / RAINWATER STORAGE AND PERMEATION SYSTEM " HYDROSTUFF"
The Advanced Technology Exhibition Hall @ TEPIA was established by Association for Technological Excellence Promoting Innovative Advances (TEPIA) in 1989. It is a venue in which visitors can learn about a variety of advanced technologies that are the pride of Japan. They can also learn about the role plastics play in these technologies. (For more information, see the February 2011 issue of the PR magazine pla-topia.) http://tepia.jp/exhibition/index.html
RAINWATER STORAGE AND PERMEATION SYSTEM " HYDROSTUFF"
Rainwater that has no escape route during heavy localized rain in urban areas results in flooding of rivers. HYDROSTAFF is an effective countermeasure. A combination of polypropylene units and sheet is placed underground, rainwater is retained during periods of intense rain, and this can then be gradually released. Some of the components are made from recycled polypropylene.
