We are working to reduce landfill waste volume through such efforts as reusing and recycling waste. We are moving forward with proactive efforts to reduce landfill waste volume at Teijin Automotive Technologies NA Holdings Corp, which generates a particularly large volume of waste, including reducing the volume of plastic waste by improving the yield rate at each of Teijin Automotive Technologies NA Holdings Corp factories. In FY2023, our landfill waste volume was 20.6 thousand tons, which represents a 9% increase in volume per sales unit compared with FY2018, reaching 2.00.

Trends in landfill waste volume and volume per sales unit

• *Landfill waste volume is calculated based on the amount of waste disposed of directly in landfills.
• *Per sales units are calculated using consolidated net sales as the denominator.
• *As it was found that some bases had double-counted some of the amount of landfill waste volume, we corrected the figures from FY2018 to FY2022. The FY2030 per sales unit target was also revised for this reason.

Teijin Aramid B.V. is working toward a circular economy. For more than 20 years, Teijin Aramid has had a successful record of mechanically recycling end-of-life products to Twaron pulp. Teijin Aramid plans to gradually move forward with the circular production process using various innovative technologies and sources of pre- and post-consumer waste. Teijin Aramid has been making progress on developing a physical recycling technology for fiber-to-fiber recycling. The first industrial-scale production run was achieved in April 2023, followed by a second run in April 2024. Teijin Aramid is also working on the development of chemical recycling technology for aramid fibers; this is a longer-term development. Next to the recycling technologies, Teijin Aramid is working on procuring sustainable raw materials from its suppliers. Teijin will comply with future regulations while meeting customer demands.
