Carbon fiber sustainability vision 2050

In response to the Japanese government's 2050 Carbon Neutrality Declaration, the Japan Carbon Fiber Manufacturers Association has compiled the ``Carbon Fiber Sustainability Vision 2050,'' which outlines the direction the industry should take and the vision for the year up to 2050.
Although carbon fiber does not emit a small amount of CO2 during the material manufacturing stage, it is a material that can significantly reduce CO2 emissions during the customer use stage. The Carbon Fiber Manufacturers Association has been promoting the fact that carbon fiber is an environmentally friendly material through life cycle assessment (LCA) activities that evaluate the total environmental impact of carbon fiber from its manufacture to use and disposal. Meanwhile, we promoted demonstration research on carbon fiber recycling in order to reduce CO2 emissions during carbon fiber manufacturing. These results have led to the commercialization of each company.
