AGC has successfully improved the quality of recycled fluorite recovered from waste using its own proprietary expertise.

AGC Inc. announces that its Fluon PTFE G grade manufactured using recycled fluorite as the raw material has completed third-party verification based on UL2809 in November 2025.
UL 2809 is a standard that defines the methods by which third parties verify self-declared percentages of recycled materials used by entities, based on ISO 14021. According toAGC, this is the first time that UL 2809 verification has been completed for fluoropolymer PTFE resin worldwide.
This grade, which is widely used in the semiconductor industry, is the first in the AGC product lineup to have the verification completed. AGC plans to expand the verification to other fluoropolymer products in the near future.
Fluorine products are essential for improving the performance, safety and durability of products in a variety of industries, including semiconductors and transportation equipment. However, as reserves of natural fluorite — the starting raw material — are limited, establishing a system for recycling and circulating fluorine is crucial.
Methods of circulating fluorine include recycling the same material, as well as recovering fluorine resources from waste and reusing them as recycled fluorite. Currently, however, most recycled fluorite does not meet the required quality standards for reuse in fluorine products.
Most of it is used as a melting agent in steelmaking or as a secondary component for road base construction materials, where alternatives to fluorine resources already exist. The rest is discarded as waste. Consequently, the proportion of recycled fluorite that can effectively be reused as new fluorine products is very low.
AGC has successfully improved the quality of recycled fluorite recovered from waste using its own proprietary expertise and is now advancing its use in its own products. Moving forward, AGC will also advance initiatives to reuse recycled fluorite from waste at other manufacturers’ plants in its fluorine products.
Under its medium-term management plan, AGC plus-2026 , the AGC Group has defined “Deepening of Sustainability Management” as one of its key strategies. The group will continue to actively work toward realizing a circular society for fluorine resources.
