April 10, 2023. By News Bureau

Asahi Kasei’s production facility for Dinamica® microfiber resembling suede at its Nonwovens Plant in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, Japan, has acquired the first Certificate of Renewable Energy Use, utilizing Hitachi's Powered by RE system, which visualizes the usage of renewable energy.

The certification, acquired on March 8, 2023, ensures that the production facility for Dinamica® is powered by 100% renewable energy.

Today, companies are making efforts to become carbon neutral throughout the value chain to realize a sustainable society, resulting in demand for high-value-added products and services that are made using 100% renewable energy. Dinamica® is a microfiber resembling suede with a 3-layer structure produced with Asahi Kasei’s proprietary manufacturing process.

Having excellent texture and versatile design, it is widely used in various applications around the world such as automotive interiors, furniture, IT accessories, clothing, and industrial materials.

Asahi Kasei has proactively reduced the CO2 emissions from the manufacture of Dinamica® as part of its effort to become carbon neutral by 2050.

In addition, by widely promoting certification of renewable energy use through the Powered by RE Certification Committee, Hitachi will contribute to businesses' adoption of renewable energy.
