Textile sectors of Taiwan and Vietnam collaborating for sustainability and innovation, says TTF

According to the Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF), Vietnamese companies have been drawn to Taiwan's textile industry because of its capacity for sustainability, innovation, and fashion. Taiwan's textile sector is also playing a significant part in the global supply chain for the garment industry. As the global economy develops and becomes increasingly regionalized, many Taiwanese textile companies are interested in Vietnam because of its huge economic potential and plentiful labour resources.

Two significant Taiwanese textile businesses, FENC and Tung Ho Textile, are concerned with sustainability and social responsibility. FENC uses cutting-edge technologies to produce materials for a circular economy, such as making 100 per cent recyclable polyester yarn from used plastic bottles and recovered nylon yarn from marine plastic trash.

To convert waste gases into raw materials for polyester, FENC also employs carbon capture technology. Tung Ho Textile combines cutting-edge Siro, Compact, Siro-Fuse, and Siro-Slub spinning technologies to produce eco-friendly yarns with superb textures, making spun yarn comfortable, useful, and environmentally responsible.

Taiwan's textile companies are continually offering new products and technologies while also actively researching and developing new technologies. They concentrate on modernising and reforming the textile sector.

Four key characteristics of Zig Sheng Industrial Co., Ltd.'s next-generation, environmentally friendly elastic fibre Soufflexz include comfort and elasticity, soft textures, sustainability and environmental protection, and light weight. The single-material polyester yarn is more elastic due to the helical fibre structure than compound elastic fibres combined with spandex.

The use of single-material clothing that can be recycled in a closed-loop system is another way that Jintex Corporation Ltd. is committed to sustainability in the apparel business. The company employs non-food, sustainable biomass raw materials like waste straw and coconut shells for functional additives and considers the impact on the environment at every stage of manufacturing. Jintex can meet its sustainability and low-carbon emission goals by substituting biocarbon for petrochemical products.

Future product breakthroughs and technical collaborations by Taiwan's textile sector will help it preserve its competitive edge in the Vietnamese market.
