Polyplastics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takashi Miyamoto) is pleased to announce that the nitrogen circulation equipment installed at its Kaohsiung Plant has been certified as subsidy-eligible equipment under the Taiwan Industrial Innovation Platform Program by the Taiwanese government.

The program is a government initiative to support the development of advanced technologies and products in the manufacturing industry and the creation of comprehensive supply chains.

The nitrogen circulation equipment that has been certified this time has been recognized for reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 10,000 tons per year. In the past, LCP manufactured at the Kaohsiung Plant required a large amount of energy to generate nitrogen used in the manufacturing process, but with the new equipment, the used nitrogen can be reused again, making it possible to reduce nitrogen consumption to one-tenth of the conventional amount, which has resulted in a significant reduction in energy consumption.

Our Kaohsiung Plant will continue to reduce steam consumption and introduce solar power generation to further reduce its environmental impact.
