Daai's eco-friendly line hits the market!

What better way to love the earth than reusing its resources in sustainable and ingenious ways? Daai Technology, founded and run by a group of industrialists in Taiwan, has been developing eco-friendly products using 100 percent recycled PET bottles. Yesterday, a press conference was held at the Tzu Chi Humanitarian Center to announce the launch of Daai Technology's new line of products, including polo shirts, scarves and blankets, that are made from textiles derived from recycled materials. All the proceeds of these green garments will be donated to Tzu Chi, to fund its charity and humanities missions.

Recycle, reuse, and love the earth

The polo shirts being placed on display stands are the brainchild of the cooperation between many industrialists. Years of research and development in eco- friendly fabrics have come to fruition.

Bureau of Foreign Trade, Jiang Shihuang: "We are seeing great results from this eco-textiles business. There are blankets and polo shirts. We hope to see more of these garments and better quality in the future."

Eco shirts, jackets, bags, and much more

The industrialists who founded Daai Technology have put their strengths together, and transformed recycled PET bottles into jackets, scarves, tote bags, as well as a host of other earth-friendly products.

Daai Technology project manager, Li Dingnan: "This is the eco-friendly scarf, polo shirt, blankets and shopping bags. They are very practical products."

A big salute to recycling volunteers

Tzu Chi volunteer, Zheng Qinghui: "We are amazed by the fact that PET bottles can be turned into clothes and blankets that can be enjoyed by people all over the world. I feel very thankful."

Daai Technology project manager, Li Dingnan: "All the proceeds from Daai Technology will go to the Tzu Chi Foundation for its humanities and charity work."

Becoming a greener society

With the efforts of countless recycling volunteers and sustainability-oriented companies like Daai Technology, a collective eco-consciousness is steadily building in Taiwan.
