INNOVATIVE products promoting sustainability from Taiwan were featured at the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia 2022 (IGEM).
The Taiwan Excellence pavilion displayed 45 products showcasing innovation and value creation that are at the heart of many Taiwanese corporations, said Taiwan Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur director Eva Peng.
Taiwan Excellence is an initiative of the Taiwan bureau of foreign trade and managed by the Taiwan external trade development council (Taitra).
“Visitors to our pavilion saw a strong portfolio of award-winning companies under the brand of Taiwan Excellence, featuring sustainable green products and solutions with creative and innovative technologies.
“To help reduce waste and maintain ecosystems, we have products that are biodegradable and compostable.
“To encourage recycling, we have products that are made from agricultural waste.
“We also feature green innovative solutions for foil stamping to encourage a circular economy, as well as green construction and non-toxic household products that promise zero-carbon emissions,” Peng said during the launch of the Taiwan Excellence pavilion at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
