The Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) has launched its "Textile Export Promotion Project" (TEPP) to promote exports of premium textile by exporters adopting circular economy principles.
As a country that cares about sustainable development, Taiwan's textile industry attaches great importance to introducing advanced technology and using recycled materials to produce environmentally friendly products in a circular way.
Leading textile manufacturers, such as Super Textile, Libolon, Kingwhale and Hermin, are playing an essential role in promoting a circular economy mindset.
Super Textile Corp. continues to create fabrics with recycled components that reduce the impact of waste on the environment. The Taipei-based company received the National Enterprise Environmental Protection Award and the Industrial Waste Reduction Award for its Pineapple Leaf Fiber Fabric.
With a solid commitment to sustainable principles, Libolon produces recycled polyester material derived from post-consumer wastes such as plastic bottles and marine litter into mechanical recycled PET or pre-consumer wastes such as fabric wastes as well as discarded polyester fabric.
Libolon has an extensive collection of recycled polyester products in multiple categories for woven and knit fabric that adhere to the international textile standards, according to Steven Su, assistant vice president at Libolon.
Kingwhale has set clear goals for cutting carbon emissions to protect the environment and promote sustainable development. By setting clear goals for becoming carbon neutral by 2050, Kingwhale has positively impacted the environment and contributed to a more sustainable future.
The textile industry is notoriously complex, and sustainable fabric production often falls by the wayside as companies prioritize profit over environmental responsibility. HerMin Textile aims to meet this demand by investing in new technologies and processes that will allow them to produce fabrics more sustainably. One example of this is the company's recycled materials, which have helped reduce factories' waste.
With this observation in mind, HerMin Textile is working on new methods of dyeing and printing fabric that use less water and chemicals. The Taiwan company shows its commitment to becoming more sustainable and responsible by investing in these initiatives.
