DA.AI Technology receives the National Environmental Education Award

Article Details

DA.AI Technology’s gained recognition for its environmental promotion efforts, when it bested four other enterprises to win the National Environmental Education Award for private enterprise. This was the second year the National Environment Council has bestowed this award, to emphasize the importance of using education and promotion to improve the environment in order to increase awareness of environmental issues among private enterprises and government agencies. Participants of these nationwide competitions were audited by various government agencies.

National Environment Promotion Award committee auditors visited DA.AI Technology in early October, after DA.AI was chosen as a finalist among Taipei firms. One major criterion they considered was how well DA.AI promotes environmental protection awareness nationwide. Committee members were impressed by DA.AI Technology’s innovative approach to manufacturing as well as socially responsible business practices, and combining them to create a platform for enhanced environmental protection. They visited plants where disaster relief blankets are manufactured using recycled PET bottles, and got first-hand experience at a recycling station where the bottles are processed.

DA.AI Technology helped recycle over 300 million PET bottles in its first five years, saving the amount of gasoline it would take to drive around Taiwan 30 thousand times. Its educational programs, which introduce principles of manufacturing, management and research, have featured more than 300 sharing sessions and participation in 40 exhibitions. To strengthen the brand’s educational impact, product labels summarize the manufacturing process, and life stories of recycling volunteers. DA.AI websites include “heart” news reports (updated daily), a new Jing Si Aphorism desktop wallpaper graphic each month, quarterly Green Bodhi magazines, and the KIOSK/APP platform.

DA.AI Technology is wholeheartedly committed to humanitarian activism and environmental protection, without regard to potential profit. In gratefully accepting this award, it dedicates itself to becoming a leading model for other enterprises or organizations that might consider adding environmental protection to their mission statements.
