LIMEX Pellet has better dispersion and smaller particle size, which realize high dosage and cost reduction. Agricultural sheet Environmental Performance Application Example Features Compared to virgin PP 100%, LIMEX non-woven fabric can reduce plastic by approximately 53% and CO2 emissions by approximately 38% throughout the lifecycle 01 Realize cost reduction with high dosage 02 Sufficient strength due to unique technology Better Production Efficiency 03 Hygiene/Medical products Shopping bag LIMEX reduces machine cleaning frequency and operating costs compared to conventional MB. Approx.53% Approx.38% CO2 For manufacturers Compared to conventional products, reduce plastic and CO2 emissions ・Compared to a nonwoven fabric made of 100% petroleum-derived resin with the same basis weight. ・This is a calculated value when manufactured under specific manufacturing conditions, not a guaranteed value. ・CO2 emissions assume processes from raw material procurement to disposal. | Main reference for emission factors: LCI database IDEA version 2.3 (2019/12/27) National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Safety Science Research Department, IDEA Lab, Sustainable Management Promotion Organization |

LIMEX Pellet Environmental Impact (Life Cycle Assessment) 3 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.
