(JCN Network) -- Teijin Fibers
Ltd will begin full-fledged production and marketing of new plant-based
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber - said to be the world's first
commercially produced bio-derived PET fiber - in April 2012.
Also available as a textile, the ECO CIRCLE PlantFiber will become Teijin
Fibers' core biomaterial for applications ranging from apparel, car seats and
interiors to personal hygiene products. Teijin Fibers expects to sell 30,000
tons of ECO CIRCLE PlantFiber products in the initial fiscal year ending in
March 2013, and 70,000 tons by the third year of business.
Teijin Fibers' ECO CIRCLE PlantFiber is made roughly 30 percent from
biofuels derived from biomass such as sugarcane.
