Teijin Frontier Develops CO2 Emissions Calculator
for Polyester FiberTokyo, Japan, April 8, 2022 --- Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd., the Teijin Group's fibers andproducts converting company, announced today that it has developed a proprietarysystem for calculating CO2 emissions generated by the company’s polyester fiber
production processes. Going forward, Teijin Frontier eventually expects to use thesystem for full lifecycle assessments of its polyester fiber products.
The new system calculates CO2 emissions based on data from the company’smanufacturing bases. It also compares differences in emissions between
petroleum-derived fibers and recycled fibers to quantitatively evaluate the effect. Thesystem additionally helps to clarify which processes need to be improved to further
reduce environmental loads and better measures for reducing CO2 emissions can beconsidered.
Teijin Frontier has already begun using the system to evaluate emissions from polyester
filaments and staple fibers production, and gradually will expand the scope to include
weaved and dyed textiles products. The company also plans to encourage partners toadopt the system.
Teijin Frontier, guided by its THINK ECO® environmental initiative, is striving to improve
its environmental value, including through eco-friendly plant management and thedevelopment of greener materials and products for applications ranging from clothing toindustrial materials. By implementing and further improving the newly CO2 emissions
calculation system, the company expects to strengthen its contribution to the realizationof circular economies.
Countries are accelerating their initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality in response to the6th Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the 26th UN
Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26). It is essential that companies begin
to adopt products that have low environmental impacts, including to help consumers
increasingly select eco-friendly products.
