Saima Corporation Calculates CO2 Emissions for Main Products

Saima Corporation (Headquarters: Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Takashi Saima) is pleased to announce that it has calculated the product-specific CO2 emissions (LCA: Life Cycle Assessment) for its main products, "TRF®," "310 Slim®," and "Nonsert®" (excluding some products). This is the first attempt in the screw industry to calculate emissions for individual products.

This calculation was conducted using a methodology that ensures objectivity and reliability, with the cooperation of Bank of Yokohama and Hamagin Research Institute of Yokohama Financial Group, and Carbon Free Consulting Co., Ltd.

In recent years, the importance of product-specific CO2 emission calculations is expected to increase further due to trends in various regulations, including the EU's CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism). To respond to these movements, this initiative aimed to visualize CO2 emissions from raw material procurement to the production process, clarifying challenges for decarbonization. Furthermore, by providing highly accurate environmental data to business partners with growing environmental awareness, we will contribute to the advancement of emission calculations across the entire supply chain.

As a pioneer in the screw industry, our company will continue to pursue both the supply of high-quality products and the reduction of environmental impact, further promoting initiatives toward achieving carbon neutrality.
