UPW

A LONG ROAD TOWARDS CARBON NEUTRALITY

In 2021, UPW took an important step in its attempt to control carbon emissions and launched its carbon footprint verification project. The main objective of this

project was to acquire a comprehensive understanding of carbon emissions produced by textile yarns throughout their lifecycle, “from cradle to grave”.

The goal was to obtain carbon footprint certification and labelling for 10 core yarns in 2022. UPW achieved carbon neutrality for six of its main yarns listed below

and received third prize in the “Pursuer of Excellence in Sustainability” award, setting the standard for the carbon neutrality requirements approved by the Chinese

Association for Science and Technology.

UPW’s vision and commitments for zero-carbon emissions

2024 – reduce carbon emissions by 20% in comparison with 2020.

2030 – verification of the carbon footprintof 100% of the staple yarns, reducing carbon emissions by 40% in comparison with 2020.

2035 – The LCA of core yarns will be carbon- neutral from cradle to grave, and carbon emissions will be reduced by 60% in comparison with 2020.

2044 – The LCA of core yarns will be carbon- neutral from cradle to grave, and carbon emissions will be reduced by 80% in comparison with 2020.
