Reduce carbon emissions by 90% Teijin and Fuji Design cooperate to develop recycled carbon fiber

Teijin Co.
, Ltd.
announced that it has cooperated with Fuji Design Co.
, Ltd.
, a Japanese manufacturer of recycled carbon fiber, to establish a commercial supply system for recycled carbon fiber reinforced plastic products
.

It is understood that Fuji Design's proprietary "Precision Pyrolysis" environmental protection technology can produce high-quality carbon fibers from used carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) by removing the matrix resin, which can effectively reduce 90% of carbon fibers produced from virgin raw materials.
% of carbon emissions
.

CFRP with low weight and high strength has been widely used in aircraft, industry and sports fields
.
As a solution to improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles and other products, Teijin expects a gradual increase in CFRP market demand
.
The current challenge for carbon fiber is to accelerate the development of recycling technologies to reduce the environmental impact of carbon fiber in landfills or incineration
.

At the same time, Teijin has been reducing the group's environmental impact, and expects to reduce carbon emissions by 30% by fiscal 2030 compared to fiscal 2018, and achieve zero emissions by fiscal 2050
.
In addition to reducing internal energy consumption, Teijin has also been developing material recycling technologies including carbon fiber
