Teijin rolls out “green carpet”

For the third consecutive year, Teijin Ltd. rolled out the “green” carpet at the Tokyo International Film Festival in October. The carpet is made entirely of Teijin Fibers’ ECOPET® recycled polyester fiber produced from PET bottles. In total, Teijin produced 1,600 meters of 90-cm-wide material, or the equivalent of 23,000 recycled half-liter PET bottles. In addition, the material was used to produce reusable bags for giveaways to festival guests; coasters for giveaways to customers of Toei Subway; ties, handkerchiefs and ribbons for guests; and jackets for festival staffers.
