Over the past 80 years, global warming caused about 10 cm rise in sea level. Funafuti, the capital city of Tuvalu in the South Pacific island has reached the highest sea level ever in this season. ckyue. blogspot. com 5

In 2010, the global bottled water consumption was about 237 billion L ≈ 6. 85 million tons of waste non-degradable PET plastic! Landfill = Emitting 0. 27 million tons of CO 2 -e Incineration = Emitting 8. 49 million tons of CO 2 -e Recycled and processed into chips for textiles = Saving 7. 59 million tons of CO 2 -e !! *As compared with using virgin materials 6

Recycled polyester fabric - the mainstream eco product v 1 kg PET bottle requires 3. 12 L of crude oil. v One PET bottle contains at least 90% of reusable polyester fiber. Reasons of limited expansion of the recycled polyester market: v Uneconomical as raw material v Instability of the recycled material v Unable to meet quality expectations 7

Illustrations of international carbon labels – 6 categories Carbon emission indicator Japan Clearly indicates the CO 2 -e emitted during the life cycle of the product, either single- or multiple-staged. Low-carbon mark Switzerland Indicates the amount of CO 2 -e of the product reduced in a certain period of time as planned. Carbon-neutral mark Indicates that the product has a Indicates that the product has lower carbon emission among reached carbon neutral through equivalent products, or declares carbon exchange. that the CO 2 -e emission of the product has been reduced to a certain level. Carbon level indicator America Carbon reduction indicator British Australia Environmental indicator Indicates the carbon level of the Indicates other environmental product among equivalent impacts in addition to carbon products by using grade, star or emission. tier system.

DA. AI eco products – TÜV product carbon footprint certified 13

Our carbon reduction commitments DAAI aims to reduce the carbon footprints of its products by 3% within 3 years by: 1. Establishing an effective recycling management system to improve the purity of the recycled PET fiber. 2. Establishing a carbon reduction management system to promote ‘green procurement’. 3. Improving the functionality of the products (e. g. increasing dirt resistant properties, reducing fiber weight etc. ). 4. Implementing carbon reduction measures in offices. 12 g First phase: Promote carbon labeling Second phase: Develop lowcarbon mark 14

Take a guess. What do you think these are? 19

What about these? 20

In Taiwan, everyday 49, 315, 068 plastic bags are used. However… the recycling rate is < 8%! 21

Medium-term project 2 (1/2) Co-operate with Tzu Chi recycling stations Combining the contributions from DA. AI Tech. , ITRI and Tzu Chi Recycling Stations Waste plastic bags collected in Recycled plastic bags nicely Recycled plastic bags broken into little pieces (about 1 cm) re-sorted by volunteers Tzu Chi recycling stations Lastly, pyrolysis oil is formed Pyrolysis process takes place Broken plastics fed into ITRI pyrolysis equipment 22

Medium-term project 2 (2/2) ITRI Pyrolysis Equipment Occupied area: 5 m × 6 m (Double-storey) No. of technicians required: 2, training required Production efficiency: Conditions： 75% liquid yield, 20 kg/h feeding rate, 30 working days/month, 12 working h/day One pyrolysis unit can handle 20*12*30 = 7. 2 tonnes plastic bags/mth ~ 96 thousands bags/mth 18% of total recycled plastic bags Oil production = 20*0. 75*12*30 = 5, 400 kg oil/mth = 6, 750 L/mth Main application： The ‘plastic-pyrolysis oil’ can be used as boiler fuel for DA. AI’s future R&D center Capacity： 20 kg/h Product percent (%) Feeding rate Gas 20 -30 Oil 60 -75 Ash 1 -2 20 (kg/hr) 23

DA. AI’s Carbon Reduction Statistics 2009 -2012 Recycling PET bottles for chip production in place of incineration: Recycled 254 million PET bottles Saved 4. 26 million L of crude oil Reduced 16 million kg of CO 2 -e Note: Calculations were made using WARM, USEPA, with an assumption of average bottle size 600 m. L and 27 g in weight.
