Teijin Starts LCA of Carbon FiberTokyo, Japan, December 15, 2021 --- Teijin Limited announced today that it has started
to carry out a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of its carbon fibers to calculate their total
carbon emissions, an industry first.
Teijin previously calculated the carbon footprint of its carbon fibers used in sports,
recreational and industrial applications and more recently its carbon fiber filaments usedin aircraft applications, which will make it possible to now calculate emissions for all ofits carbon fiber filament applications.
Teijin’s LCA methodology has been certified by an independent third-party organizationin accordance with the ISO14040 and ISO14044 standards and will provide customers
with reliable emission data on Teijin’s carbon fiber filaments to help them evaluate theirown footprints. Teijin’s LCA is useful in identifying carbon hotspots in manufacturing
processes and evaluating options for emissions reduction.
Looking ahead, Teijin expects to expand its LCA scope beyond carbon fiber filaments toalso include intermediate products such as short fibers and prepregs. Furthermore, incooperation with customers such as final product manufacturers, Teijin eventually plansto evaluate the entire life cycle of its carbon fiber products.
The Teijin Group has set climate change mitigation and adaptation as one of the fivematerialities that it prioritizes as important societal issues. Accordingly, Teijin is striving
to reduce its energy consumption and introduce renewable energy and recycling
methods, among other initiatives.
