Weaving sustainability into the fashion industry
According to Retail Asia, 87% of consumers from emerging markets in Asia aim to make their lifestyles more sustainable. To help clothing brands meet this growing demand, Taiwan’s chemical solutions providers for textile supplies are innovating to develop new fabric materials. The company WWRC stands out in particular for its ingenuity in creating multi-functional fabrics for diverse wearing experiences that embrace circularity and resource conservation.
For example, WWRC integrates its Polygiene Technology into a number of fabrics to inhibit the growth of microbes, effectively reducing wash frequency and thereby conserving water and energy. The company also offers a biodegradable material called OrganoTex.
Known for supplying high-quality fabrics to internationally recognized sports brands, WWRC’s innovations help set trends for sustainable fashion while delivering comfort and durability. The company’s focus on sustainability covers raw materials, production processes, and redefining the lifespans of textiles.
Expanding plant-based raw materials in cosmetics
In the cosmetics industry, consumers in Asia are increasingly seeking plant-based beauty products. To harness this trend, Taiwan’s suppliers of raw cosmetics materials, such as Taiwan New Daily Chemical Co., Ltd. (TNJC), are aiming for materials sourced from 100% natural sources. Using plants from traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), TNJC leverages advanced extraction technology to prepare raw materials with highly active ingredients for a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products. The company has even collaborated with a Japanese research institute and a Malaysian production company to jointly develop natural cosmetic materials.
To build its values into its operations, TNJC has certifications according to ISO 9000 and ISO 9001 standards, and its factory is certified according to ISO 45001 for safety and health management.
