Teijin’s High-performance Materials on Display at COP26
Tokyo, Japan, November 2, 2021 --- The Teijin Group announced today that its
high-performance materials used by the Envision Racing Formula E Team forall-electric-vehicle racing are being displayed at the 26th UN Climate Change
Conference of the Parties (COP26), which is currently being held at the Scottish Event
Campus (SEC) in Glasgow.
The world’s first electric two-seater formula race car, which incorporates Teijin’s TenaxTM
carbon fiber, is on display in COP26’s Blue Zone, organized by United Nations, wheregovernment officials are gathering. The vehicle was developed by the Envision Racing
Team in partnership with Johnson Matthey, a leader in sustainable technologies.
Tenax™, which combines strength, high modulus elasticity and low density, assures top
mechanical performance even in high heat, design freedom and driver safety.
Also, Envision Racing's driver suits designed by OMP Racing and incorporating Teijin's
meta-aramid Teijinconex® neo is on display in the Green Zone at COP26, wheremembers of civil society, academia, art, business, etc. are gathering. The outer layer ofthe garment consists of an ultra-light fabric made with Teijinconex® neo to resist
temperatures of up to 400°C (750°F) without burning or melting. Teijinconex® neo is
produced in line with leading chemical industry environmental standards, including
REACH.

Teijin, which is committed to supporting the society of the future, has establishedlong-term goals for internal net-zero emissions by fiscal 2050. The targets include
reducing internal CO2 emissions by 30% and two-thirds of total supply-chain emissions
by 15% as of 2030 compared to 2018 levels.
Teijin’s Tenax™ carbon fibers and intermediate materials are being applied in therenewable energy field, including large wind-power turbine blades, advanced aircraft

wings and hydrogen tanks. Tenax™ also is used to achieve increased production speed
and safety, extended design freedom and customer targets for increased sustainability.
Teijin’s aramid business, which has been mechanically recycling end-of-life para-aramidTwaron® products into pulp for over 20 years, is now exploring new recycling
possibilities for other aramid products. For example, it is using para-aramid yarn inrecycling trials by adding recycled yarn in the spinning process. It is also working tocreate high-quality fiber by regenerating pre- and post-consumer meta-aramid-basedmaterials from protective textiles. Teijin aims to build the circular performance economy
by creating a circular value chain by minimizing both waste and the use of virginmaterials. To achieve these ambitions, Teijin underpins three key areas: 1) reducecarbon emissions 2) set new standards for recycling all aramids, and 3) createtransparent material streams for aramids.
