ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS 

We handle various types of bio-based materials. Polyethylene and PET are derived from plant sources, while polypropylene comes from waste cooking oil (mass balance). These materials can reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional manufacturing processes. For bio-based polyethylene, emissions can be reduced by up to 70%, and for PET, by up to 25%.

The Chemical Solutions Division sells hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) foaming agents for polyurethane, which are environmentally friendly, in Japan and the Asia region.
HFOs do not deplete the ozone layer and have a Global Warming Potential (GWP) that is less than one-thousandth of that of conventional polyurethane foams from the previous generation. Through the sale of this product, we aim to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases from polyurethane insulation construction sites in Japan and Asia, thereby helping to preserve the global environment.

Solvents are used in various manufacturing processes of industrial products, with an annual consumption of approximately 2 million tons, while the amount of recycled products is only about 200,000 tons per year.
We aim to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the sale of recycled products.

Planic Co., Ltd., which is funded by Toyota Tsusho, began the production of recycled polypropylene derived from ASR (Automotive Shredder Residue) in 2023.
We sell recycled plastics sourced from various end-of-life vehicles, including Planic materials, to the mobility sector and other life materials sectors such as home appliances and logistics materials, contributing to compliance with ELV regulations and the realization of a circular economy.

We aim to achieve a 'circular economy' by establishing a scheme for both chemical and material recycling using end-of life tires and discarded rubber components as raw materials in Japan.

Through contract testing, we propose material development solutions that are expected to reduce environmental impact.

We aim to achieve a 'carbon-neutral society' by utilizing natural materials such as starch to reduce the proportion of fossil fuel derived raw materials, while also focusing on the recycling of food waste and other residual materials.

Toyotsu Chemiplas has obtained ISCC PLUS certification at four locations: our Tokyo headquarters, Osaka branch, Nagoya branch, and Hamamatsu sales office.
This certification ensures that recycled materials and biomass raw materials are properly managed throughout the supply chain, including product manufacturing.
With this certification, our company is now able to handle ISCC PLUS certified products that allocate sustainable raw materials using a
mass balance approach.
As a member of the Toyota Tsusho Group, we aim to contribute to the realization of a 'carbon-neutral society' through the expansion of our handling of ISCC PLUS certified products.
