Twaron® environmental impact
At Teijin Aramid, we’re taking meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact and make our operations more sustainable. With transparency and accountability at the core of our approach, we provide clear data to our partners, supporting responsible practices across the industries we serve.
Twaron® carbon footprint
The total carbon footprint [kg CO₂ eq/kg], based on PEF version 2.0, is calculated according to ISO standards 14040/44. This cradle-to-factory-gate approach includes raw materials, transportation, energy and water use during production, emissions, and waste disposal. The eco-profile report has been peer-reviewed by an independent third party.
Additional impact categories are available upon request.
Recyclability
Twaron® is recyclable. In addition to producing recycled pulp, we are able to produce Twaron® filament yarn with recycled content on an industrial scale. Teijin Aramid is actively seeking partnerships to help retrieve and recycle end-of-life materials, working towards closing the loop.
