Four Perspectives of the World as Envisioned by the Toray Group in 2050

Towards 2050 A world where resources are sustainably managed

ACTIONS Realizing sustainable, recycling-based use of resources and production

In order to create a sustainable society, we must transition to a so-called recycling-based society — a society managed in a sustainable manner that makes effective use of, and recycles, our limited resources. Specifically, this involves using our limited resources sustainably by reducing our use of fossil fuels such as oil, reducing and reusing waste plastic, effectively using and reusing water resources, and making effective use of carbon dioxide. This transition to a recycling-based society will also contribute to resolving the issues of global warming and marine plastic waste. The Toray Group will contribute to creating this recycling-based society by developing and commercializing bioplastics that use plants and other biological resources, promoting the recycling of textiles, camera film and resin products, and reducing waste at the production stage.

Using non-fossil resources (bioresources)

Toray works to reduce the world’s dependency on fossil fuel resources by manufacturing non-edible plant-based fibers and developing materials and fuels using biotechnologies and membrane separation technology.

Promoting product recycling

Toray facilitates recycling of its diverse products including fibers, resins, films, and carbon fiber.

Reducing waste at production sites

Toray implements measures to use resources more effectively, practices recycling, and works to reduce waste.
