A social trial to test the effects after discontinuing the use of synthetic detergents began on an island within Munakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The industry-academia-government collaboration project involves using additive-free soap products of Shabondama Soap Co., Ltd. of Kitakyushu City to use other detergents by the islanders. For the next three months, sewage will be regularly monitored to assess the environmental effects. Source: Yomiuri / PR Times
