Whitepaper
Redefining sustainability in high performance materials
Industries increasingly need materials that combine durability with lower environmental impact. Our new whitepaper explores how Twaron Next®, the world’s first para-aramid made with circular and certified bio-based feedstocks, proves that high performance and reduced fossil reliance can be achieved together. Discover how lifecycle impact, certified innovation, and real world validation are shaping the next generation of responsible high performance materials.
How Teijin Aramid reached EcoVadis Platinum
Reaching EcoVadis Platinum places us among the top 1% of companies assessed for sustainability performance. The score reflects years of collaboration with partners and measurable progress toward our ambitions. Our CTO, Stef Kamperman, shares what this recognition really means, and where we go from here.
Circular economy
Towards a circular aramid chain
A sustainable future includes carbon neutrality without compromising performance. Working towards achieving near-zero waste and full circularity, our team has established specific milestones to be accomplished by 2030. Our steps include more efficient production methods, the use of renewable energy and raw materials and recycling of our aramids.

2025 Business Updates
Three major milestones. We launched Twaron Next®, achieved ISCC PLUS certification, and won industry recognition for sustainable aramid. Discover our breakthroughs.
"The beauty of Twaron Next® is that it performs like a virgin aramid. Helmets made with Twaron Next® are capable of meeting the same ballistic standards while reducing environmental impact. A material that delivers identical performance with less environmental strain actually meets a higher overall standard."
