        TITAS Taipei Innovative Textile Application Show, October 17-19, Taipei Taipei Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1 grandly debuted. Far Eastern New Century Corporation, as a pioneer in textile technology and sustainable concepts, continues to promote the development of the global polyester textile industry. The products showcased this year not only dominate the world sports arena, but also include FENC, a sustainable innovative fabric ® TOPGREEN ® BIO3 has been extended to the international fashion stage to emit light and heat, becoming the biggest highlight of the entire venue.

                Far Eastern New Century Corporation focuses on "sustainability" as its core development strategy. This year's exhibition focuses on two major areas: "World of Sports" and "Global Fashion". In addition to planning independent zones for the "FIFA Women's World Cup" and "Sustainable Product Design Award" in the center of the exhibition area, it also showcases recycled products made from recycled materials from land, sea, and air, The construction of a symbolic green supply chain is meticulous; The four sides of the exhibition area are surrounded by themes such as football, NBA, sports and leisure clothing, daily necessities, and research and development products, presenting diverse application directions.

        Sea Waste Anti Explosive Robe Surprises the International Sports World

        The "Ocean Recycling Anti Explosive jersey" hanging high in the exhibition hall has attracted everyone's attention since its debut at the 2022 Kada World Cup football match. At that time, players from a total of 9 national teams were wearing jerseys developed by Far Eastern New Century Corporation to compete on the field. Due to the use of "environmentally friendly ocean recycled yarn" as the raw material, the jersey combines lightweight and breathable properties, and adopts exclusive anti explosive knitting technology. It not only designs suitable fabric structures for various parts of the human body, but also strengthens the resilience of the fabric to avoid damage and interference caused by intense movements such as pulling or collision, In the end, the Argentine team successfully won the championship, and this "championship shirt" undoubtedly played an important role.

        After the World Cup came to an end, the "Ocean Recycling Explosive Resistant jersey" continued to shine and heat up in the sports industry. In 2023, it was favored by the Italian Football Association (FIGC) and was selected as the jersey for all national teams. At the same time, Far Eastern New Century Corporation also advanced its research and development technology, launching the "2nd generation upgraded ocean recycling explosive resistant jersey", which received a wider response and made it to this year's FIFA Women's World Cup In the halls of the UEFA UEFA Champions League international sports events, players from 11 and 5 national teams compete on the football field wearing newly upgraded anti explosive jerseys.

                Apart from shining brilliantly in the football industry, he was also absent from the basketball court. In internationally renowned NBA tournaments, the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Gold, and Golden State Warriors all wear functional jerseys made with the latest technology from Far Eastern New Century Corporation. In the Nike China High School Basketball League, players can also be seen wearing jerseys with excellent performance, high breathability, and sweat-wicking effects, paired with ergonomic design, allowing them to move freely on the field and run like electric cars.

        Moreover, in 2023, Far Eastern New Century Corporation teamed up with brand customers to enter the tennis industry for the first time, using environmentally friendly fabric FENC ® TOPGREEN ® BIO3 has launched the "Australian Open" series of jerseys, one of the four top tennis events, to reduce carbon emissions and set a new benchmark in the industry by participating in international sports events.

                Waste gas, old clothes reborn, unique and fashionable

        As the impact of climate change intensifies, reducing greenhouse gas emissions has become an international consensus, and therefore, "Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU)" technology has received special attention. Far Eastern New Century Corporation pioneered the use of carbon capture and recycling waste gas to convert polyester low-carbon raw materials, and combined with Far Eastern Fibertech's water-saving nylon (stock dyeing) process to develop environmentally friendly fabric FENC ® TOPGREEN ® BIO3. After winning the "Sustainable Innovation Award" from the International Textile Manufacturing Federation (ITMF) in 2022 and the highest honor "Best Product" from the German ISPO Textrends (International Textile Trends Award), in 2023, we innovatively upgraded and integrated exclusive 3D weaving technology to create an effect for clothing that flows and flickers like an ocean in the sunlight, Won the Red Dot Design Award, one of the most influential competitions in the world. This green, fashionable, and high-quality product has also been favored by brands such as ZARA, H&M, Craghoppers, and has successively collaborated to launch items such as dresses, sportswear, and warm tops, showcasing the potential application of environmentally friendly fabrics.

                On the other hand, it is estimated that the annual production of textile waste worldwide will reach 130 million tons by 2030, emitting a large amount of carbon dioxide during both incineration and burial processes. To achieve energy conservation and sustainability, Far Eastern New Century Corporation is committed to developing waste fabric recycling applications, extracting polyester raw materials through chemical and physical recycling methods to produce recycled fiber FENC ® TOPGREEN ® RTEX.

        In addition, through physical and mechanical treatment, textile waste is converted into 100% recycled spring yarn, which has been applied to products such as clothing, backpacks, shoe materials, and home decor. The tannic recycled yarn retains the classic indigo color of denim, and the later stage of the process does not require dyeing. Recycling and reproduction also achieve water saving, energy saving, and carbon reduction, making it a high-quality green and fashionable material.

        Starting from 2022, Far Eastern New Century Corporation further collaborated with IKEA to recycle the waste fabric collected in its stores into brand new fabric products, creating the first waste fabric recycling supply chain in Taiwan.
