News Highlights: Teijin establishes Europe Sustainable Technology Innovation center
Teijin Ltd. (Tokoyo, Japan) announced on January 21 that it has established the European Sustainable Technology Innovation Center (ESTIC) in Arnhem, the Netherlands, as a research and development facility (R&D) charged with developing technologies for a more sustainable world (see “Teijin contributes to sustainability with infrastructure innovations”).
As an R&D hub, ESTIC will facilitate collaboration between researchers across borders to strengthen development initiatives across Teijin’s various business units. ESTIC will also rise to the challenge of developing entirely new businesses that leverage the life cycle capabilities of Teijin’s core materials and the development of green materials to support the global circular economy and reduce environmental impact. This includes efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and to boost the hydrogen economy.
