【Supercategory:6. Products Subcategory:6.10 New products of 2022

Teijin Frontier has developed a system that calculates CO2 emissions in producing polyester fibres and quantitatively assesses emission reduction effects by using data collected from their production facilities. It enables life cycle assessment of polyester fibres. The company uses the system in polyester filament and staple productions currently, and in future will expand the use range to weaving, knitting, and dyeing of textiles, for assessing life cycles of polyester textiles as a whole.
