CHIMEI Corporation has joined the world’s first¹ global supply chain dedicated to producing renewable plastics for Sony Corporation (Sony) ’s high performance audio visual products. Spanning fourteen companies across five countries and regions, this initiative—part of Sony and Mitsubishi Corporation’s “Creating NEW from reNEWable materials” project—introduces a traceable and verifiable supply chain model that accelerates the transition away from virgin fossil based plastics.

As a global leader in advanced materials—including bio based plastics—CHIMEI plays a pivotal role in this collaborative ecosystem by supplying renewable polycarbonate (PC) produced through a certified mass balance approach. Leveraging waste derived resources upgraded into high quality feedstock, this solution is designed to deliver future CO₂ reductions while maintaining the optical clarity, mechanical strength, and flame resistant performance essential for premium electronics. With material consistency equal to conventional PC, CHIMEI provides a reliable foundation for Sony to integrate renewable materials across future product lines without compromise.

Beyond material development, CHIMEI brings an integrated, long-term approach that strengthens its role as a long term solutions provider. The company continues to invest in ESG initiatives and advance decarbonization across its operations, expand lifecycle transparency through internationally recognized certifications, and deepen global collaboration to accelerate circular economy.

CHIMEI’s participation in this pioneering supply chain reflects its advanced material expertise and long standing commitment to driving meaningful progress across environmental sustainability and high performance manufacturing. By uniting technological precision with measurable environmental benefits, CHIMEI aims to drive broader sector wide transformation and inspire more partners to join in building a resilient, sustainable materials ecosystem.
