Teijin to provide eco-friendly uniforms for China's National Games

28/08/2013
High-performance fibre supplier Teijin Group will provide uniforms made from its recycled polyester Eco Circle Fibres for staff at the athletes’ village of the 12th National Games of the People's Republic of China, the largest national sporting event in the country, held in the first two weeks of September.

Eco Circle Fibres are manufactured using the Japanese group’s closed-loop recycling system, an advanced proprietary chemical recycling technology developed in 2000 as the first of its kind in the world.

Teijin is also pursuing cleantech opportunities in China in other ways. In the Hunnan New District of Shenyang, the group's Multi-Stage Activated Biological Process system, a core offering of its wastewater treatment business, has been adopted for multiple new sewage treatment plants.

Teijin launched China's first programme for collecting and recycling used garments in collaboration with sportswear company Li Ning. It also established Zhejiang Jiaren New Materials with Jinggong Holding Group in 2012 to create a closed-loop recycling system in China, with operations scheduled to begin in May 2014.

Teijin owns 150 companies with 17,000 employees in 20 countries. It posted consolidated sales $7.4 billion and assets of $7.6 billion in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.
