Comedian Hiroiki Ariyoshi serves as the MC for the NHK variety show "Ariyoshi's Money Discovery: Attack! Kaneo-kun" (General TV, Sundays at 6:05 PM), in which the show's character "Kaneo-kun" (voiced by Nobu of "Chidori") investigates the money. The 10-minute mini-show will be broadcast on General TV from 8:50 AM to 9:00 AM on January 29th.
This time, as part of a "10-minute field trip!", we'll focus on cardboard, an essential part of our daily lives. Cardboard has an astounding recycling rate of 94%. Kaneo-kun will visit a factory in Saitama Prefecture and introduce the surprising but unknown process of how cardboard is made.
Other topics include: "It can bounce back even if a 3kg iron ball is dropped on it!" "The secret behind the birth of reinforced cardboard is lactic acid bacteria drinks?" and other groundbreaking cardboard boxes that have evolved for different uses are appearing one after another. Packaging using only cardboard, without Styrofoam, reduces costs by over 1 billion yen! We will also thoroughly investigate the amazing packaging technology that uses a single piece of cardboard to act as a cushioning material. Narrated by Nobu.
