Environmentally Friendly Polyster Film Ecouse®Lumirror®

Circular recycling film, using the film collected from customer

"Ecouse™Lumirror™"※1 is a circular recycling PET film, utilizing used films collected from customers, and recovering to eco-friendly PET films by conduting mechanical recycling※2. We realized the same film property as general 'Lumirror™' film without impairing mechanical characteristics or reliability.
Adding coatings,vapor depositions are also available.

※1Ecouse™ is an integrated brand for recycled materials and products of Toray Group.
※2Mechanical recycling:the process of recovering plastic waste by mechanical process such as grinding, washing, separating, drying, re-granulating and compounding.

Characteristics of Ecouse™Lumirror™

  • Reduce CO2 emission up to 50%※3
  • Reduce fossil raw materials and plastic waste
  • Lineups comply with ISO14024 Eco labeling
  • Self-declared Environmental Claims according to ISO14021 (2022)
  • ISCC PLUS (2025)

※3CO2 emission is calculatied from raw material extraction (collect film from customer) to film production. It varies depending on ratio of recycled materials or manufacturing conditions.

Process of Ecouse™Lumirror™ Circular Recycling System

We establised 'film to film' circular recycling system, by collecting used films from customer, remove diverse coatings or resins, and recovering to eco-friendly films which helps materialize a sustainable economy.

Ecouse™Lumirror™Definition of Recycling

  • ①Post-Consumer Recycling:

    • Used recycled PET film which was collected from users.

  • ②Pre-Consumer Recycling:

    • Used recycled PET film collected from Toray(※3), and conducted further recycling process at third parties.
    ※3 scrap of primer coated film, which cannot be used for inhouse recycling

  • ③Inhouse Recycling:

    • Reuse of scrap which occurred during the film production process.
