DA.AI’s Eco Polo Shirt Receives the 2012 Taiwan Excellence Award

Details

Published Date

DA.AI Technology’s signature product, Eco Polo Shirt, was awarded the 2012 Taiwan Excellence Award from a selection of 1,145 entries in the beginning of this year. The Taiwan Excellence Awards selection is based on four different criteria: R&D, design, marketing and quality. DA.AI’s implementation of green technology in research and development, innovation in design to convey the values of Taiwan’s excellent products, elevation of brand image in marketing through environmental education and promotion (in 2011, DA.AI held nearly 200 seminars to educate the public about environmental protection), and quality assurance through 13 different international certifications (including Global Recycling Standard certification from the Netherland’s Peterson Control Union, Taiwan Green Mark, the Carbon and Water Footprint Certifications from both Germany’s TÜV Rheinland and EPA), all demonstrated that DA.AI’s Eco Polo Shirt met the judges’ standard for each criterion.

Other than striving to conserve energy and reduce carbon emission in the manufacturing process, DA.AI adheres to its concept of “Coexists with the Earth” by using transparent recycled PET bottles to produce white recycled polyester yarn and green recycled PET bottles to produce green recycled polyester yarn as raw materials for manufacturing its eco-textile products. By maintaining the original colors of the PET recycled bottles and not adding dye or color, it not only conserves water usage but also limits the amount of polluted water from the chemical dyes, which causes more damages to our environment. 100 tons of water is needed to dye just 1 ton of fabric. Therefore, to limit water usage in all of DA.AI’s eco-textile products, DA.AI faces a very difficult task since it insists on not dyeing or coloring its eco-textile products. Even though in this competitive market, consumers’ needs are ever changing and always on the lookout for new and innovative products, DA.AI still insists on following the “right path” towards environmental protection.
