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.
