which include the changing colors as well as designs.

Therefore, before starting manufacturing, they need

to realized customers’ need and the futuristic fashion

streams.

He also points out that the ongoing competition is no

longer the sort of products competitions but innovation

and future of the competing companies. In the recent

years, there are quite a few of innovative new materials

of the textile industry in Taiwan, covering aquatimo®

a kind of wet-absorbing and cooling nylon and LUMI

LONG® a sort of light-reserving fiber developed by TTRI.

LUMI LONG® is currently applied in slippers, light cover

and night home-use decorative products. Also we know

S.Cafe®

a kind of coffee-mixed yarn invented by Singtex®

Industrial Co., Ltd. and the recycled fiber innovated by Da

Ai Technology Co., Ltd.

Following the constant developing technology and

materials, lots of traditional products are made from

new materials added with more functions such as

antibacterial, lightweight and other features. For example,

moisture-managing textile products provide light,

comfy and convenient dressing. And the materials like

carbon fiber and aluminum alloy are used in bicycles and

wheel chairs. They help lighten the transportation tools

which make people’s life more pleasantly and easily. The

following cases are the successful ones that enterprises

has transformed or enhanced with the help of new

materials.

Characteristic A:

Energy-saving and environmental

Recycled and reused materials are

marvelous for innovative products!

Talking about energy saving and environmentalism, Da Ai

Technology Co., Ltd. is counted as the pioneer of Taiwan’s

textile industry working together with the technology

industry. It makes good use of the recycled plastic

bottles and turn them into an environmental yarns.

Then these yearns are produced into environmental

blankets. From recycling, plasticizing to the final sales,

this forms a complete and sound supply chain. And the

so-called environmental textile production technology

is to directly apply the recycled plastic bottles; through

physical methods, these bottles are turned into pet

chips, environmental yarns, knitting fabric to the final

product. Compared with the original yarn, this producing

method can saving 84% energy and achieve 77% carbon

reduction.

LUMI LONG is a sort of fabric which gives light without

consuming electricity. This is an innovative breakthrough

within the textile industry. Mr. Bai expresses that this

new material only needs sunshine or fluorescent light for
