Environmental Impact (Life Cycle Assessment) 5 Compared to PP100%, LIMEX Pellet 70%(containing calcium carbonate 53%) can reduce the amount of petroleum-derived plastic usage by 527kg (- 53%) and Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2,502 kg (-38%) per ton. 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 1 2 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions[kg-CO2eq] 0 200 400 600 800 1,000 1,200 1 2 3 Petroleum-derived plastic[kg] No Item CaCO3 content rate Annual quantity [kg] Petroluem-derived plastic Greenhouse Gas Emissions[kg-CO₂e] Amount[kg] Reduction Amount[kg-CO₂e/month] Reduction 1 PP100% 0% 1,000 1,000 - 6,650 - 2 LIMEX Pellet 40%+PP 30% 1,000 700 -300kg(-30%) 5,538 -1,112kg(17%) 3 LIMEX Pellet 70%+PP 53% 1,000 473 -527kg(-53%) 4,148 -2,502kg(-38%) Calculation Assumptions Calculation scope: From raw material procurement to incineration *Biomass-derived resin is assumed to be carbon neutral, CO2 emitted from the material at the time of incineration is considered to be 0. The biomass content of each resin is not taken into account. Remarks -These values are for reference only. Please note that the values may vary depending on each product's formulation and manufacturing conditions. -The values are subject to change depending on the data acquisition status, etc. -Comparisons with other companies' products are not possible due to differences in LCA calculation methods and data collection methods. -As stated in the Japan Chemical Industry Association document, differences of less than 10% are within the normal margin of error for LCA. - https://www.nikkakyo.org/sites/default/files/ICCA_LCA_Executive_Guid.pdf#page=10 C--Alculation method: Life cycle inventory -Main inventory database: LCI database IDEA version 2.3 (2019/12/27) National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Safety Science Research Division IDEA Lab.
