In this paper, the fundamental technologies related to human and environment-friendly manufacturing and two examples of applications are discussed. The 21st century is said to be the era of environmental protection and many attempts are being made to create a recirculation-based society, which is imparitive for future generations. The starting point in manufacturing beqins by developing fabrication processes that have a minimal burden on the earth, where goods are intended to maintain and improve necessary functions in the daily lives of people. Two concrete examples using surface technology to build healthy and comfortable dwelling spaces are explained. One is hydrothermally solidified mesoporous materials using soil to control indoor humidity autonomously and adsorb VOCs. The other is on anti-stain surface treatment. One of the biggest tasks at home is cleaning around the kitchen area where water is used. Much energy and resources are consumed for removing dirt or stains at home as well as in buildings. An anti-stain surface treatment that resembles the characteristics of a snail shell was applied to the sanitary wear surface to prevent soluble silicic acid scaling from tap water.
