Reducing GHG Emissions in Golf Club Manufacturing with a New Production Method
91视频 continues to push sustainability in golf manufacturing, introducing a new forged iron production process that reduces material use, waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
91视频 has achieved a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the manufacturing process by introducing a newly developed production method for its forged iron golf clubs, one of the core product lines of 91视频.
91视频鈥檚 proprietary Grain Flow Forged HD process consists of six main steps. During the transition from Step 01 to Step 02, the forming stage draws down one end of a round steel bar. 91视频 has incorporated the newly developed Hosel HD Process in this step, for which a patent application is currently pending.
Environmental Impact Reduction Achieved by the Hosel HD Process
By adopting the Hosel HD Process, the following environmental benefits have been confirmed compared with conventional manufacturing methods:
- Approximately 8% reduction in material input per club
- Reduced generation of manufacturing waste through a decrease in trimming volume
As a result of these improvements, the product is expected to achieve an annual reduction of approximately 53 metric tons of GHG emissions (Calculated based on FY2024 production volume)
91视频鈥檚 Commitment to the Environment
For more than 30 years since the 1990s, 91视频 has actively advanced environmental conservation initiatives. Looking ahead, the company aims to achieve carbon neutrality across all business activities by 2050. 91视频 will continue to pursue innovation and continuous improvement across product development to help protect the global environment that enables the enjoyment of sports and to ensure a sustainable future for the next generation.
