Article Details

The 22nd Taiwan Excellence Awards, hosted by the Taiwan Bureau of Foreign Trade, has long stood for the highest standard and role model of boutique product in Taiwan on many domains, including product development, design, quality assurance, marketing, and Made-in-Taiwan (MIT) production. It is also the only all-around award in the world, thus reflects Taiwan’s brand innovation value to rest of the globe. The country’s first green social enterprise, DA.AI Technology Corporation, was first awarded and recognized in 2012 with its iconic eco-friendly green and white non-dyed polo shirt, named DA.AI (Great Love in Chinese) Polo Shirt. The company continues to triumph in 2013 by winning awards on a total of 6 different series. Furthermore, in the recently announced 22^nd Taiwan Excellence Awards, DA.AI Technology Corporation has once again proved itself with 10 different product series (a total of 59 products) including the Chinese traditional style Heritage Series, Fresh Sprout/Mascots (infants/kids) Series, Cultivated (leisure) Series, Vow into Action (disaster relief) Series, and the Home Gift Box Series that demonstrates the caring for environment, all living beings, and mother Earth. The company has also published numerous reports on the 2014 Taiwan Excellence Awards to tell the humanism stories behind the brand.

The DA.AI Technology’s Corporation differs from rest of the fiber textile industry in a sense that all of the company’s raw materials come from the plastic bottles that come into the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation’s recycling centers daily from all over Taiwan. Moreover, DA.AI Technology fully contributes its investment and net profit back to Tzu Chi Foundation, which is then utilized on local and international charity and disaster relief. The company is also looking to extend its product development technology into other raw materials, such as recycled paper, to better re-use all the unwanted resources.

Together with the global footprint of Taiwan Excellence Awards, DA.AI Technology had the chance to tag along and exhibit around the world. Thanks to this rare opportunity, people from different country and region were able to learn aboutTaiwan’s enlivened power of recycling, turning what was meant to be thrown away into useful resources. The company’s establishment is made possible by numerous recycling volunteers and entrepreneurs who contributed their time, money, and effort on theislandofTaiwan. DA.AI Technology wishes to carry out all these stories behind the brand and product to the world, and ultimately raises everyone’s awareness to love and cherish the land that we live on and to “coexist with the Earth.”

傳薪清蓮心香溢 自淨身心品高潔

Article Details

大愛感恩科技傳薪系列中國風服飾，乃回溯中國復古之美，賦予人文新意，遵循  證嚴法師《禮儀之美》的慈示，藉由服儀人文之美，回歸人性的單純樸實。其中「包容系列」的設計就是以清明心念為主，日前上市傳薪心品--「蓮花刺繡外套」，即傳達心性的美善與清淨，誠如靜思語所言：「大愛的心猶如一朵清淨的蓮花，不論在任何環境都能散發清香。」

蓮花生於污泥之中，開出潔淨之花，在美麗的外表下，擁有清明的內在涵養。周敦頤的〈愛蓮說〉：「出淤泥而不染，濯清漣而不妖。」便將蓮花喻為「花中君子」，象徵君子不同流合污、不隨俗浮沉的高潔品性，以及莊重質樸，不諂媚炫耀的低調淡泊。「蓮花刺繡外套」融入蓮花清逸淡雅的氣息，聚合眾人之愛，將資源變清流，清流化大愛，為社會帶來古樸之美與洗滌塵垢的精神力量。

「蓮花刺繡外套」純淨無後染，100％環保材質。以西式剪裁表現中國服儀的柔美優雅，大面積的繡花，細緻的織帶緄邊，中國式的輪廓線條，展現人文之美，沒有多餘的裝飾，細膩的車功，適合各式體型的版型，實穿大方。灰色低調的蓮花刺繡，立領外有傳統盤釦，如葉中水珠，在沉穩中多了秀氣，整體看起來端莊而嫻柔。古詩云「看取蓮花淨，方知不染心」，即以「蓮花」不染污穢、安靜嫻雅的特質，象徵人性在紛擾的環境中，依然能潔身自愛的德行。

「人格昇華，需有成人之美、包容之德。」一個人由內而外的散發美感和氣質，是要從淨化身心做起。「蓮花」就是一股淨化人心的清流，象徵著環保、清廉與祥和。蓮音同「廉」，因此有清廉之喻，含有持守有節、不貪不求之意；而蓮又稱荷，荷音同「和」，含有吉祥和合之意。傳薪包容系列，藉由清淡雅緻的「蓮花」圖案，傳遞淨化大地、淨化心靈的意涵，更代表著對祥和社會以及美好未來的期許。

台灣電子科技大廠---聯華電子、旺宏電子，特邀大愛感恩科技分享綠色環保與企業社會責任的落實，透過執董 李鼎銘師兄生動與感動的分享，在場的高級主管與同仁參與的不只是一場講座，而是感受如同一場人文愛灑、心靈饗宴，洗滌內心與淨化人心，同時也暸解一般企業講求業績分毫必爭的激烈競爭下，還有這獨負有使命感的“ 大愛感恩科技的綠色環保社會企業“ 為台灣社會來打拼及付出。

『一切都是好因緣！』，大愛感恩科技於11月、12月分別前往聯電 (南科廠/新竹廠)與主管、同仁分享，會有如此的因緣，即是聯電執行長 顏博文的夫人( 吳玫芬師姊)，於去年在社區師兄師姊的邀請下，參與了七月吉祥月的活動，看著台前由108位師兄合心組隊的「行願法船」，被其中堅定的信心與願力所震撼，因而鼓勵顏博文師兄參加新竹地區「行願法船」的演繹。唐朝鑑真大和尚的東渡日本把佛法傳到日本的堅定「行願」精神，也深深絡印在顏博文心中。


顏博文師兄在接下聯電執行長一職後，由於期盼能實踐  上人「淨化人心、社會祥和、天下無災難」的三好願，積極的定期與不定期邀請社區志工，到公司舉辦愛灑與人文講座活動，大愛感恩科技在三次的分享中，部門主管與各部同仁參與近500位，每一場的分享都是「因為你 因為我」，才能彼此共結善緣，只要現場的一個人被一句話、一個影像所感動，進而想行善入人群、回饋社會，這樣的分享就是值得了。即有一位聯華電子專職的消防大隊隊員感動的分享，希望未來能投入慈濟志工見習的行列，進入慈濟大家庭、人間菩薩招生。

執董 李鼎銘師兄會進入旺宏電子分享，以“續物命 造福慧”的主題，共同“化腐朽為神奇，化不可能為可能”，將慈濟環保人文精神帶入科技業。 要拯救地球，就是要先救心，啟發人人心中的愛，發揮「心室效應」，災難時刻，正是造福時刻，啟動一分愛，恆持一念善，讓「來不及」成為「來得及」。誠如靜思語所言：「疼愛大地，就是疼愛眾生」；「人人有愛，天、地、人就能調和，萬物自然生機蓬勃」。但願人人凝聚善念，即時行善，落實低碳生活，愛護地球，天下無災，人人才能安居樂業。

將大愛留給地球 綠色品牌心典範

• 
• 

Article Details

只要對著自動販賣機投下硬幣，就可以馬上享用到一瓶冰冰涼涼的瓶裝飲料，您是否曾經想過這種便利的生活方式所累積下來的瓶瓶罐罐，積少成多將如何衝擊我們的居存環境? 而在喝完飲料後，你是否有把留下來的寶特瓶好好做資源回收再利用呢？回收而來的寶特瓶用途非常多，其中「大愛感恩科技」便是利用環保高科技將寶特瓶轉變成許多日常生活的實用紡織品，藉此環保實踐力，成就綠色品牌心典範，發揮創意的同時，也兼顧到了永續共生精神及社會企業責任的落實。

證嚴法師帶頭做起環保
    「大愛感恩科技」於二〇〇八年正式成立，但其實最早可追朔至一九九〇年時  證嚴法師的一句話：「用鼓掌的雙手做環保」，開始帶動了慈濟海內外與十方大德的綠色環保行動。二〇〇三年，「慈濟國際人道援助會」正式成立，成為國內外賑災與社會公益善行的馳援後盾。
    二〇〇六年，慈濟國際人道援助會憂心寶特瓶在未來對環境生態的影響，開始利用慈濟環保志工回收的一號礦泉水瓶，整合紡織業上、中、下游廠商專業環保技術，將寶特瓶化身愛心毛毯分送並膚慰給世界各地的受災的災民。

    為了更進一步推廣寶特瓶回收再生與呵護地球的理念，二〇〇八年正式成立大愛感恩科技股份有限公司，同時結合眾人的良能的愛心接力來生產的大愛環保織品，也蘊含著「友善大地，關懷世界」的人文意涵，期許藉此愛心平台，集合眾人的力量，付出無所求的心，貢獻於環保品牌大愛 (DA.AI) 的推廣並落實於人們的日常生活當中, 並間接的能為減緩地球的暖化貢獻小小的心力。

集合各界力量 寶特瓶化身大愛紗
    走進一間位於內湖的慈濟環保站內，首先映入眼簾的是慈濟有名的「靜思書軒」，靜思書軒中也推廣著各式大愛感恩科技出產的環保產品。再往前深入探究，一群奉獻時間與精力的環保菩薩們正專心的將垃圾作進一步的分類與處理，擔任志工已久的 陳淑穗師姊表示，志工們通常早上八點就開始陸陸續續地抵達環保站並開始工作，分類項目有寶特瓶、電子產品等眾多回收的資源，其中寶特瓶除了剪開瓶環的動作之外，還要依照瓶子本身的顏色來做區別， 淑穗師姊說明有些瓶子本來瓶身就有色彩，因此就直接利用本身的原色來紡紗，既可以清淨無染於大地、又有節能減碳的效果。寶特瓶壓成瓶磚後，交給業者粉碎成瓶片，並經過清洗、除雜質、乾燥等步驟後，就可以塑化成再生聚脂粒，紡織業者也才能開始抽紗。大愛同仁李明瑩就表示: 要做為紡織原料的寶特瓶，必須乾淨、無雜質，不然容易在抽紗的過程中斷裂，就無法織成布，因此大愛感恩科技對於慈濟環保站回收把關的「清淨資源」非常珍惜與感恩，「唯有高品質的原料，才能抽成長纖，織成精緻毛毯，這份環保菩薩的愛與人文，正是大愛 (DA.AI) 品牌最引以為傲的DNA」，她補充道。

回饋社會新模式  永續經營心典範 
    大愛感恩科技為台灣第一家環保公益企業，也是全球第一家百分之百回饋社會NPC (Non Profit Company) 的代表，在商業的普世價值裡，企業經營無不以獲利為最終目的，但是大愛感恩科技創造出一種新的經營模式，其中最大的亮點是企業投資及盈餘全數回饋慈濟，供國際賑災與社會公益之用，創造了回饋社會的新模式。

    不僅利用寶特瓶化廢為寶，企業體所研發生產的各項環保織品更符合世界環保標準，尤其是主力商品 【灰色環保毛毯】多年來已接二連三獲得國內外環保認證與獎項肯定，帶動大愛 (DA.AI) 環保品牌國際品質的優勢，大愛感恩科技針對環保再生紡織品之供應鏈製程，導入了荷蘭彼得森管制聯盟 (Control Union) 之全球回收標準驗證（Global Recycle Standard）進行嚴格品管認可；大愛環保紗也獲得環保署環保標章，在國際標章上，大愛酯粒、大愛紗、灰色環保毛毯均通過了德國萊因產品碳足跡，水足跡雙驗證，以及環保署產品碳足跡驗證，更榮獲美國C2CPII 搖籃到搖籃銀級認證CM 與日本環保標章，獎項方面亦不空過，包括經濟部台灣精品獎、中小企業創新研究獎、綠色典範獎、MIT微笑標章, 國家環境教育獎、國家永續發展獎、企業社會責任獎等皆不曾缺席，成就大愛(DA.AI)集「精品、研發、永續」於一身的領導品牌的典範。

    大愛感恩科技秉持核心價值『環保人文．愛心接力．完全回饋』，今年屆滿五周年，企業精神不僅圍繞在12個字，更深入其中的人文意涵：一者是匯聚全省環保菩薩們的愛與善念，讓慈悲的大愛綿延；愛的循環則連結同仁職/志工、合作夥伴、請購護持者，共同連線形成愛的接力，整合並提升綠色產業，最後將投資及盈餘完全回饋公眾，引領其他企業體或非營利組織的經營與發展，更善盡企業的社會責任，朝向更穩健的永續經營發展邁進。

As this year marks the 20th anniversary of Tzu Chi in Malaysia, volunteers have designed a pavilion at a local recycling station, highlighting various natural disasters in order to increase local residents` awareness against such tragic events.

因為抱著呵護大地的心，大愛感恩科技也在該場電影結束後，在現場倡導環保救地球，告訴十方大德回收的資源可以做成賑災織品與衣物。推廣過程中，有一位媽媽帶著小學的孩子，聽完解說並看到『慈援起菲』的文宣牌子，二話不說拿出千元要捐給菲律賓賑災之用。當天上午在今日秀泰影城，同步也邀請到 齊柏林導演以及神秘嘉賓「台灣原聲童聲合唱團」 馬彼得校長。兩位身穿大愛感恩環保鋪棉外套以及環保刷毛背心現身台前；大愛台編劇 張秀玲師姊更是身著大愛感恩中國風系列出席，於電影結束時與觀眾分享並感恩、及呼籲愛地球。大愛感恩科技推動環保不落人後，在影城現場推廣以及宣導環保產品的美與善。期待人人在『看見台灣』後，延續這份善念與愛心、更能發揮一己的力量，一起來護持環保產品、延續物命，愛護環境。

證嚴上人曾開示：「這一代來破壞掉了大地，下一代的子子孫孫如何能居住，真正的關懷人類生態的菩薩，能一起動員起來，好好來呼籲，好好來呵護大地。」珍惜資源，從每個人生活開始做起，降低物質欲望，用知足感恩的心，一起保護地球。難得有這樣的因緣可以與如此有意義的電影異業結盟，接續還有三場(12/29,30, 1/10)包場活動，大愛感恩科技將會持續出現在現場，擔任起環保推動的說法急先鋒，讓更多人『看見台灣』見證愛！

DA.AI’s “compassion and technology” showcased at the National Innovative Information Exhibition

• 
• 

Article Details

This year, to highlight the Board of Science and Technology (BOST)'s “Advancing the Nation's Innovative Capacity” exhibition, Executive Yuan organized a special, large-scale area in the National Innovative Information Exhibition. Tzu Chi was offered an opportunity to showcase the “compassionate technology” it mobilizes during disaster relief missions around the world. The display included some of DA.AI Technology's eco-friendly products specifically designed for disaster relief purposes. Visitors also expressed appreciation of the ITRI Emergency Water Boat, Tzu Chi’s eco blankets, instant rice and prefab houses as examples of the love and care that Taiwan regularly sends to comfort those in need around the world—most recently, Typhoon Yolanda victims in the Philippines.

Tzu Chi’s disaster relief teams are well-known for their large deliveries of DA.AI’s gray eco blankets to those in need. The success at bringing “compassionate technology” to people who often lost everything has gained international acclaim. During the exhibition's opening day, Vice President Wu paid a visit to the special Tzu Chi exhibition area. Tzu Chi Foundation's Brother Jason Leou gave details on Tzu Chi and DA.AI Technology's contributions to national and international disaster relief and public welfare programs. Nearby, DA.AI Technology co-founder Brother Fred Lin was introducing the company’s Cradle to Cradle zero-waste technology to Chunghwa Telecom General Manager Mr. Shi Mubiao. And students from Tzu Chi's College of Technology also came ready to learn.

“Love all creatures and show appreciation to the Earth” continues to be DA.AI’s motivation and aim. During disaster relief activities, showing how compassion and technology can overlap is a primary goal. This is only possible thanks to Tzu Chi brothers and sisters known collectively as “recycling Bodhisattvas,” business partners and many other dedicated supporters. The National Innovative Information Exhibition will travel to the North, Middle and South of Taiwan, after ending its run at Taipei International Trade Center between November 30 and December 8. DA.AI staff will be available to answer questions and give tours. See you there!

DA.AI moves towards Cradle to Cradle zero waste system

• 
• 

Article Details

Each year, Taiwan's Cradle to Cradle (C2C) Strategic Alliance organizes preparatory meetings to give members a progress report on collaborative projects with Taiwan EPA. This year's C2C Annual Meeting was convened in DA.AI Technology's newly completed R&D laboratory and eco-concept exhibition center. Government, corporate, research center and university representatives were invited to discuss future collaborations with DA.AI aimed at creating a low-carbon economy.

C2C focuses on products' ecological benefits more than their eco efficiency, in order to avoid having corporate growth become the primary consideration. For example, the DA.AI gray eco blanket reflects the heartfelt love of volunteers from all of Taiwan and their spirit of giving without asking for anything in return.
Thanks to technical support from business partners, this popular blanket's 100% green nature led to its being Cradle to Cradle Silver certifiedCM in recognition of the minimal amount of waste generated during production. Scraps produced during the manufacturing process are also utilized to make gray eco shawls and gray eco scarves.

The C2C Annual Meeting was hosted by DA.AI Technology for the first time. Dr. Chai Zhenqiu of ITRI Green Energy and Environment Research Laboratories, now serving as C2C Alliance President, thanked DA.AI Technology for its hospitality and tour of the eco-concept exhibition store. DA.AI Executive Director James Lee also shared the company’s core values, urging every attendee to actively participate in this circle of love. Attendees, who included Mr. Zhou Youjie (representing Taiwan EPA) and Miss Kathrin Hirth (of O’right), expressed appreciation for DA.AI’s outstanding efforts to promote environmental protection.

Thanks to growing international interest in the Cradle to Cradle concept, Dr. Chai said he looks forward to collaborating with DA.AI Technology on a future sustainability project that would transform discarded plastic bags into oil, in the process inspiring more companies to move towards a sustainable future. Mr. Huang Zongjun, Taiwan C2C Strategic Alliance Manager, said “DA.AI Technology not only actively promotes green living, but also positive human interaction. Its core values are aligned with the spirit of the C2C Strategic Alliance and its hopes to implement a variety of ecological advances. This memorable gathering has greatly encouraged all of us to move forward.” Through learning and freely sharing knowledge, we hope to inspire new corporate collaborations as a way to promote the “humanitarian Cradle to Cradle” concept on the global stage.

As the Philippines is listed by the World Bank as one of the nations most affected by climate change, the country previously established a new agency and passed new laws to deal with problems resulting from climate change. However, in the face of Typhoon Haiyan, all preparations were for naught. Thus, scholars suggested that fortifying each community and raising its emergency response awareness might be possibly a better solution.

Thus, the medical profession, has long sought to develop a treatment, which only targets cancer cells, without harming normal cells. In this direction, the Academia Si-ni-ca have recently developed, a new type of anti-cancer technology, whereby sugar molecules, from the surface of cancer cells, are syn-the-sized into anti-gens. Such anti-gens then allow the body’s immune system, to produce anti-bodies which can fight off cancerous cells.

國內外醫院的癌症療法，以放射線和化學治療為主，但往往只對早期病患有顯著療效，因為這些療法會同時消滅正常細胞和癌細胞，因此醫學界一直想找出只消滅癌細胞，而不影響正常細胞的方法。抗癌技術最近出現新曙光，中研院發現癌細胞上有特定的醣分子，合成出的這些醣分子，能找到人體對抗癌細胞的抗體。
