Far Eastern New Century Corporation 、 Asia Cement Corporation 、 Everest Textile Awarded the title of "8th Outstanding Enterprise in Resource Recycling"

        On October 31st, the Resource Recycling Agency of the Ministry of Environment announced the results of the 8th "Resource Recycling Outstanding Enterprise Selection". Far Eastern New Century Corporation relied on its innovative research and development of "TOPGREEN" ® AirTek PU "technology has won the Gold Award from the" Source Management Group "; Asia Cement Corporation has long been deeply involved in the fields of recycled economy and low-carbon transformation, and has been awarded the "Resource Recycling Group" Gold Award; Everest Textile is committed to implementing green manufacturing and resource recycling management, and has also won the Silver Award from the "Source Management Group". The outstanding achievements of the three companies in promoting sustainable management have been highly recognized.

        Far Eastern New Century Corporation has won the Ministry of Environment's Gold Award for Resource Recycling for its non-toxic, low-carbon, and green polyurethane (PU) technology

                TOPGREEN Research and Development Center of Far Eastern New Century Corporation ® AirTek PU "technology is the world's first non isocyanate PU process that uses industrial recycled carbon dioxide to replace toxic raw materials. It has the advantages of being non-toxic, solvent-free, and low-carbon. It has applied for 22 international patents and has been recognized by multiple awards such as the German ISPO Textrends, the German Innovation Award" Best CO2 Utilization 2025 ", and the 4th Green Chemistry Application and Innovation Award of the Ministry of Environment, demonstrating the company's achievements in green design and sustainable innovation.

        In the traditional thermoplastic polyurethane (PU) process, high-risk highly toxic chemical raw materials such as phosgene and isocyanates are required, which pose a serious burden on both the human body and the environment. To this end, Far Eastern New Century Corporation challenged the existing framework and developed a non isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) technology using carbon dioxide as raw material, successfully avoiding highly toxic raw materials while maintaining the elasticity and properties of traditional thermoplastic polyurethane, and reducing carbon emissions by 58% compared to traditional thermoplastic polyurethane, fully realizing sustainable technology for carbon capture and utilization.

        Far Eastern New Century Corporation adheres to the concept of "high resource value and low process impact", comprehensively implementing carbon reduction, carbon sequestration, and resource recycling from raw material selection, process design to material structure. The only byproduct of this technology process is ethylene glycol, which can be recycled and reused in polyester production. AirTeK PU material itself is also thermoplastic and can be recycled and remanufactured, greatly improving material recycling rate and implementing the concept of resource recycling.

        TOPGREEN ® AirTek PU plans to expand production capacity in 2026 to meet the urgent demand for low-carbon materials in the global market. This product is applied in various fields including shoe materials, synthetic leather, elastic fibers, waterproof and breathable membranes, and is expected to expand to high-value markets such as medical and electronics.

        Far Eastern New Century Corporation will continue to use innovative technology to drive material transformation, enhance product competitiveness, and work with supply chain partners to promote green manufacturing, jointly moving towards a low-carbon, non-toxic, and circular Far Eastern New Century Corporation.

        The transformation of production will not fall behind! Asia Cement Corporation has been awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Enterprise in Resource Recycling by the Ministry of Environment

                Vice President Zhang Zhipeng and Senior Executive Vice President of General Plant Manager stated that in the face of global challenges such as climate change and resource depletion, Asia Cement Corporation adopts a dual axis transformation strategy of "circular process+low-carbon technology". By introducing intelligent AI production systems, production efficiency is improved, and fuel and raw material usage is precisely controlled, significantly reducing carbon emissions. In terms of resource recycling, Asia Cement Corporation has developed a comprehensive cement kiln collaborative waste treatment technology, which adopts a dual mode of "raw material substitution and fuel substitution" to recycle and reuse industrial by-products, furnace slag, sludge and other waste, and reintroduce them into the production system, achieving the dual benefits of waste reduction and resource regeneration.

        In recent years, Asia Cement Corporation has been more actively building a complete circular chain from the raw material end to the user end. The "low-carbon cement" products launched in 2024 have all passed ISO 14067 carbon footprint verification, providing specific practical solutions for Taiwan's construction industry to move towards net zero construction and successfully promoting the transformation and upgrading of local industrial chains. Sustainability is not only a responsibility, but also a competitive advantage for businesses. From mining, process management, transportation and logistics to product application, Asia Cement Corporation focuses on green processes and establishes a traceable carbon emission management system to ensure that the carbon footprint of each link is transparent and measurable.

        This award is not only a recognition of Asia Cement Corporation's long-term sustainable action, but also symbolizes the infinite possibilities of traditional industries on the path of green transformation. Looking ahead to the future, Asia Cement Corporation will continue to deepen circular innovation, promote the goals of "low-carbon cement" and "zero waste process", combine AI intelligent manufacturing and circular material technology, create a green supply chain that conforms to international trends, and demonstrate the firm commitment of the company to implementing environmental protection and social prosperity through action.

                Everest Textile has won the Silver Award in the Source Management Group of Resource Recycling Outstanding Enterprises, demonstrating its commitment to green manufacturing and sustainable recycling

        Faced with the global trend of net zero transformation and recycled economy, Everest Textile adheres to the concept of reducing waste from the source and creating a sustainable value chain. It is committed to introducing measures such as environmentally friendly material selection, process energy conservation, and waste reduction, including introducing green design thinking from the raw material end, promoting the recycling of polyester, low-carbon dyeing and finishing technology, and water resource recycling systems, effectively reducing environmental load, and enhancing product added value.

        In addition, Everest Textile actively establishes a resource recycling management system to recycle and reuse process by-products, and achieves full process management of "reduction, regeneration, and reuse" through data-driven management and supply chain collaboration, demonstrating the exemplary practice of the textile industry moving towards a recycled economy.

        This year's "Resource Recycling Outstanding Enterprise Selection" is divided into three categories: "Source Management Group", "Innovative Application Group", and "Resource Recycling Group". Everest Textile has won the Silver Award for its innovative thinking and sustainable actions, demonstrating its strength in green transformation and resource recycling. This honor is not only a recognition of the company's sustainable actions, but also symbolizes the firm commitment of the enterprise in the face of global climate challenges and environmental responsibilities. In the future, Everest Textile will continue to deepen source management, expand the application of recycled materials, and combine innovative technology and green design to promote the sustainable transformation from textile manufacturing to product lifecycle, realizing the vision of zero waste resource recycling.
