As a major driver of the global economy, the fashion industry is also one of the highest carbon-emitting sectors. Statistics show that the fashion industry accounts for 10% of annual global carbon emissions, and without decisive action, this figure could rise to 26% by 2050, placing enormous pressure on climate change efforts. In 2018, the United Nations launched the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, setting targets to reduce emissions by 30% by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2050 in order to pave the way toward a sustainable future.The fashion industry operates on a linear economic model, with most garments incinerated or downcycled at end-of-life. Less than 1% are truly recycled into new clothing due to mixed material sorting challenges, low consumer participation, and inadequate recycling infrastructure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Taiwan has leveraged its technological strengths to become a global leader in textile recycling. As Lin Der-Sheng, Chief Secretary of the Industrial Development Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs, highlighted at TASS2024: “Taiwan has achieved remarkable results in turning waste into usable products. For example, many moisture-wicking garments worn by athletes are made from recycled PET bottles, all made possible by Taiwanese technology.”<\/p>

Taiwan’s recycling technology dissolves old clothing containing at least 70% polyester and regenerates it into new fibers\u2014achieving a true “clothes-to-clothes” model. Domestically developed technologies convert discarded textiles into high-quality recycled polyester pellets while reducing carbon emissions by over 60%. Taiwan’s optical and AI-powered sorting systems have boosted recycling efficiency to 740 metric tons per year with 90% accuracy, solving key process bottlenecks. These innovations provide valuable models for the global fashion industry’s sustainable transition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
