Combining high-tech elements and eye-catching designs, the 2024 UEFA European Championship Spain team jersey and 2024 Japan Olympic football team jersey inject vitality into the competition. Among them, the exclusively woven ultra lightweight breathable structure helps players stay cool during competitions or training, while sweat wicking technology and recycled materials ensure air circulation and reduce dependence on non renewable resources.

        The three-dimensional Nakajima area focuses on the dynamic moments of athletes chasing points with passion, accompanied by a variety of sports products, such as tennis shoes made from TOPGREEN recycled industrial waste gas ® Bio3 Low carbon polyester fiber can not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also reduce dependence on petrochemical raw materials; The jerseys of the NBA Hawks and Spurs are designed with independent and most suitable fabric structures based on the extensibility and required strength of different parts of the human body; Another one is the FENC waste gas recovery technology ®TOPGREEN ®BIO3 The sparkling entrance clothing made with water-saving dyeing was first unveiled at Taipei Fashion Week in April this year by karate athlete Wen Tzu yun, showcasing the perfect combination of sports, fashion, sustainability, and craftsmanship.

        Innovative research and development shines on the international stage

        In addition to the Olympic series of recycled jerseys, Far Eastern New Century Corporation also displays two new developments in the main stage area, the first of which is "FENC" ®TOPGREEN ® Waterproof and moisture permeable recycled polyester film "recycles PET bottles that can only be burned or buried for a long time into waterproof and moisture permeable film; Another "FEFC ®dwr Nylon 6,6 Fluorine free water repellent fiber "is a technologically innovative durable PFC free nylon 6,6 environmentally friendly water repellent yarn.

Among them, FENC ® ThermalSync ZoneTech Using waste gas recycling yarn and exclusive petal section yarn TOPCOOL ® Petal Using unique thermal synchronization zone technology as raw material, we create an automatic temperature regulating fabric that can adapt to the changing needs of various parts of the human body for warmth. Combined with innovative circular breathable holes, it can quickly absorb heat energy, keeping the body at a constant temperature and dry. FENC ® TOPGREEN ® Bio3 Taking inspiration from the 2024 Paris Olympics, Far Eastern New Century Corporation uses waste gas recovery yarn and original dyeing technology, combined with special 3D weaving technology to create a sparkling texture that simulates the dynamic movement of flags flying in the air, creating the image of "Road to Sustainability, Road to Paris", symbolizing Far Eastern New Century Corporation's commitment to supporting athletes in advancing to the Olympics with functional fabrics while firmly moving towards the path of textile sustainability.

                Green manufacturing reduces industrial carbon emissions

        Given the booming development of related industries driven by electric vehicles in recent years, Far Eastern New Century Corporation actively develops environmentally friendly applications to meet the demands of the B2B market. The ultra-high performance tire cord displayed in the "Industrial&Hygiene" section can be applied to aviation tires or air springs; The seat belt yarn and airbag yarn are respectively made of special formula PET high-strength yarn and high-strength polyester yarn, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 16-30%; We have also developed a high-strength polyester dye color yarn for manufacturing high-strength seat belts. This not only saves water and energy in the post dyeing process, solves wastewater pollution problems, but also has excellent color fastness and performance.

        In the B2C market, whether it is common canned PET bottles such as Coca Cola, Nestle, Pepsi, or sunglasses and fur caps launched by Far Eastern New Century Corporation in partnership with fast fashion brands such as H&M and ZARA, they are all made with 100% rPET, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 60% compared to general VPET materials. In addition, Far Eastern New Century Corporation also applies rPET to food grade packaging materials and sells them to countries such as Europe, America, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia.

        In addition to Far Eastern New Century Corporation's environmentally friendly products, Oriental Union Chemical Corporation has also responded to the group's sustainability commitment by launching functional protective laundry detergents, carbon reducing and environmentally friendly surfactants, and other products. The former can clean clothes while repairing damaged moisture wicking layers, while the latter is based on recycled plastics and GRS certified ester granules, making it more environmentally friendly.

                As for the "Outdoor Athleisure Lifestyle" and "Yoga&Training" sections on the other two sides, they feature over 20 unique products such as dresses, windproof running jackets, and sports pants, showcasing Far Eastern New Century Corporation's achievements in outdoor activities, sports and leisure, and lifestyle. Among them, FENC ® TOPGREEN ® Bio3 Spun Yarn Waste gas recycling spun yarn adopts LanzaTech's special biomass technology to convert industrial waste gas into ethanol, which is ultimately converted into ethylene glycol required for polyester yarn, reducing the use of petrochemical fuels.

        Cross border cooperation for sustainable circulation and energy storage

                Far Eastern New Century Corporation adheres to the strategy of "continuously using PET materials in PET bottles to accelerate the construction of rTEX fabric recycling, technology, and production capacity", constantly responding to changes in EU regulations and the latest market trends, and developing the latest green products. FENC exhibited in the "TopGreen rTEX" section this time ® TOPGREEN ® In fabric recycling products, there are environmentally friendly fabrics made by mixing rPET fibers with shoe factory scraps and spinning them into fabrics. As they do not require dyeing, they can reduce the amount of water used for dyeing and finishing; There are also bags made from discarded polyester textiles that are melted and processed to achieve resource recycling. It is worth mentioning that Far Eastern New Century Corporation also showcased its innovative PET recycling approach in collaboration with technology giant BenQ this year: through Xpore E2CYCLE technology, electronic waste is processed into rPET recycled fiber yarn through granulation, producing fabrics and other materials, achieving the vision of "e-waste to eco excellence".

        In the adjacent 'R&D Innovation' section, there are also multiple sustainable fabrics available, showcasing the wide range of applications for Far Eastern Group's new products. For example, FENC ® The new aramid fiber has excellent mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and is suitable for applications such as 3C wire reinforcement, protective clothing, lightweight tires, etc; The new polyester PEF is a 100% plant-based environmentally friendly polymer that can reduce the carbon footprint of products and can be applied to packaging, textiles, films, and other products; Another method is to use recycled PET bottles as raw materials to prepare low-carbon polyester hot melt adhesive and polyester leather, which combines low-carbon environmental protection and recyclability; And high elasticity polyester fibers can be used to replace PU elastic fibers, which helps achieve the goal of full shoe/garment recycling.

        Far Eastern New Century Corporation, as a pioneer, develops advanced recycling technologies to convert waste resources from different sources into high value-added fibers, further leading industrial innovation and transformation. The planning of the TITAS exhibition fully demonstrates the company's deep commitment to sustainable environmental protection, and this year's carefully prepared gift - a "sustainable coaster" made from discarded textiles - has also surprised the visiting guests.

        In order to let more people know about the latest green process in the textile and fiber industry, Far Eastern New Century Corporation will once again move to Far Eastern Group's retail locations such as FE SOGO Department Stores, Banqiao Far Eastern Department Stores, and Big City Far Eastern Big City Shopping Malls after the TITAS exhibition ends this year. We will showcase the low-carbon products that are closest to consumers' lives. Welcome to experience this green trend that is sweeping the sports and fashion industry!
