The GHG emissions from the weaving of these prototypes, which use 99.5% recycled raw yarn, are expected to be reduced by approximately 28.3% compared to existing products made from petroleum resources. If these prototypes are used in all car carriers operated by NYK (approximately 120 vessels), GHG emissions could be reduced by approximately 400 tons.

The three companies will continue to develop lashing belts that combine high quality and performance with consideration for the natural environment by increasing strength and durability through repeated performance evaluation and improvement.
