International Significance of Nippon Steel’s Participation
Nippon Steel established its position as a leader in global materials, technology, and innovation in 2025 by acquiring the prominent U.S. industrial company U.S. Steel for approximately $15 billion (about ¥2.2 trillion). The company has also built a solid business foundation in India early on.

The partnership between Nippon Steel and Tachigami Steel Works, renowned for its precision processing technology, will enable the INTELET Group to optimize mass production systems and ensure high-level quality assurance.
Overview of the Partnership
Through this partnership, the following initiatives will be promoted:
• INTELET INC.: Collaborate with Nippon Steel and Tachigami Steel Works to strengthen the manufacturing and quality control system for smart toilets.
• Etarn (Carbon Earn Coretech FZco): Connect revenue from liquid fertilizer, carbon credits, and usage rewards generated from smart toilets to the token economy and deploy the "Toilet-to-Earn" model on the blockchain.
The INTELET JAPAN team commented:
“The participation of Nippon Steel, a global leader, is an extremely important step that demonstrates the INTELET Group and our partner Etarn are a ‘genuine, sustainable, world-class project.'”
Future Outlook
Building on this partnership, INTELET will establish mass production and technical support systems in Japan and accelerate its global expansion into countries worldwide, starting with India.
The company aims to realize a new circular economic model that balances transparency and sustainability by visualizing each process—manufacturing, logistics, carbon offsetting, etc.—on the blockchain.
This initiative aims to further promote "social innovation that transforms waste into value" and bring a sustainable future and economic inclusion to people around the world.
