TIGIS in Taipei

We will attend the TIGIS from 2011. 10. 26 to 10. 29 and show you our new ideas there. We invite you sincerely to visit the trade show. See you soon!  

Eco-Cap

Let me introduce our new product: the eco-cap. It is made by 4 recycle PET bottle. From the exterior, we can see some differences between the normal cap and our eco-cap.

From these two pictures, you can find: The normal cap is composed by 6 parts of fabric in the left picture, but our eco-cap is weaved in one piece without cutting.

In functional: because of unique weaving technique, the breathability of eco-cap is better without keeping holes.

The eco-cap is another product for “cradle to cradle”.

from bottle cap to platter

What can we do for the little bottle cap? This is a problem for us, Supertex, when we started to recycle the PET bottle. Why? We have to pick them our, because the material of bottle is different from the cap.

At first, we tried to recycle them to made Eco-yarn, unfortunately, we failed. So, we had to rethink, what we can make? After couple times of brainstorming, we possibly could make something for transport. This is why we make platter.

Each platter is made out of over 5000 bottle caps. It is light (8~12Kg), but strong. The cap platter can hold up about 600~1000 Kg weight and we use them in our factory for years. If the platter is broken, we still can recycle it and make a new one! Another solution for cradle to cradle!

Miracle of waste fabric

Last time, we have talked about wiping fabric, which were made out of waste fabric. Now, we have some new ideas for waste fabric.

Polyester fiber is a “sustainable” material. 12 years ago, we have buried a piece of polyester cloth in our garden. When we dig it out, it is almost intact. Because of that, Supertex started to come over industrial waste reduction, recycling, reusing, and the development of Eco-yarn since 1993. However, it is really tough.

Besides expanding the market of eco-fabric and eco-friendly product, we also concern about the huge waste fabrics of the eco-fabrics. In order to realize the ideal “cradle to cradle”, so we set up a project to research, how we recycle the waste eco-fabric, yarn, and secondary products, and then how to reuse them.

We use these recycle eco-yarn to make finished products for example, vests, shawls, scarf, and so on. We provide another choice for people, who really concern about our world.
