Taiwan--A world leader in “boutique enterprise” products-2

[Caption] DA.AI's “Back To Frugal” design concept encourages consumers to  return to the basics, while promoting traditional virtues of cherishing all things. By purifying minds and behavior, it helps us return to a traditional lifestyle that emphasizes good manners; greater economy in thought, design, and personal choices; and calls on more of us to make significant contributions to the health of “Spaceship Earth.”

For example, DA.AI’s Chinese Heritage Series designs exemplified the “innovative value” and “environmental protection spirit” of Taiwanese brands.

Raw materials for DA.AI Technology products all originated in 5,413 Tzu Chi Recycling Stations around Taiwan.

As DA.AI Technology CEO Walter Huang puts it: “In addition to DA.AI’s bringing Dharma Master Cheng Yen’s concept of “coexisting with the Earth” to life, we celebrate the loving efforts of all our front-line “environmental Bodhisattvas” cooperating partners. They make it possible for DA.AI to gain this international recognition for our products. On their behalf, we must actively promote environmentally friendly products to consumers through the DA.AI brand, “refine environmental conservation from the source,” and encourage people to use more green products to help reduce carbon emissions, create a more sustainable environment, and foster more love for the Earth.

For 21 years the “Taiwan Excellence” award program, sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Foreign Trade Association, has acknowledged leaders in each of these areas. The Association's review committee evaluates nominee enterprises' R&D, design, quality, marketing, and production (MIT). It then presents the “value of innovation” awards to Taiwanese brands. The 21th Taiwan Excellence Award Ceremony, held on April 2 at the Taipei International Convention Center, honors the “best of the best” produced by the Taiwanese people. These award-winning products then represent Taiwan on the international stage of “Boutique Enterprise” industries.

 [Caption] A total of six product series and fifteen products--the eco-friendly animal blankets series, the gray eco-friendly blanket, the Cute Baby eco-friendly baby gift set, the Chinese Heritage Series, the fleece coat “Pure” series, and microfiber blanket gift set--received recognition for product excellence.
