 The TITAS Taipei Innovative Textile Application Show will grandly debut at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center from October 14th to 16th. Far Eastern New Century Corporation's exhibition design this year is based on technology blue and Tiffany blue, and presents a comprehensive solution for textile recycling through smart fabrics that have won international design awards, as well as star products such as "recycled wool uniforms" and "high-performance river tracing shoes". In addition, the first "intelligent recycling machine" set up on site deeply integrates innovative technology and sustainable concepts, continuously expanding its green influence and becoming the focus of the exhibition.
 On the outside of Far Eastern New Century Corporation's exhibition area, there is a lightbox with the words "AI Empowered, Innovation Driven" that catches the eye. Combined with seven representative clothing sets spanning sports, fashion, and leisure fields in the image backboard, it not only leads the development of textile fibers and fashion design, but also has won multiple international awards, conveying the abundant research and development energy of products extending from the world sports arena to the international fashion stage. On the main stage of the exhibition hall, a giant screen was set up for the first time this year to play videos, presenting the latest products in a dynamic way. The exhibition hall design adheres to the spirit of recycling, using some modular facilities that were used last year, symbolizing the birth of new value on the existing foundation.Innovative research and development leap to the international stage
FENC displayed in the main stage area ® Thermobionic biomimetic temperature controlled fabric clothing FENC ® LoopFlex high elasticity fabric clothing is an innovative achievement developed by Far Eastern New Century Corporation with exclusive knitting technology and fabric design strength, which has the potential for functionality and recycling. The former is inspired by biomimetic somatosensory science and combines years of professional athlete Big Data database to develop intelligent fabrics with "evaporation and humidity control" and "warmth and heat storage", which can increase the comfort of wearing; The latter is a high elasticity fabric made of a single material, providing excellent support and comfort, and solving the persistent pain point of traditional elastic fibers that are difficult to recycle. Both were awarded the Platinum and Gold awards of the 2025 A'Design Award, respectively.
Not only that, the exclusive jerseys created by Far Eastern New Century Corporation for European championship contenders such as Real Madrid have once again jumped onto the international sports stage. The jersey is made using exclusive 3D Tihua technology combined with PET bottle recycled yarn, creating air flow channels in the fabric to greatly improve breathability and sweat wicking speed, helping athletes stay dry and comfortable during high-intensity matches. At the same time, it has high tear resistance and lightweight elasticity, providing stable support and flexible extensibility.
 Unlike previous years, this year's exhibition area emphasizes more on feasible solutions for full clothing/full shoes/full belt recycling. The T2T (Textile to Textile) Circular Uniform Solution, jointly launched by Far Eastern New Century Corporation and Far Eastern Apparel, utilizes Far Eastern New Century Corporation's new fabric recycling system to professionally process old uniforms or polyester clothing into recycled fibers (TOPGREEN) ® rTEX From wearing, recycling, decomposition to regeneration, a complete closed loop is formed, which not only maintains high-end texture and professional image, but also meets the needs of enterprises to solve uniform replacement and sustainable procurement, and implements ESG and zero waste commitments. In addition to being used for clothing rebirth, it can also be made into cross disciplinary terminal products such as pens, sunglasses, hangers, etc., building a "fully circular product ecosystem" from clothing to daily necessities. As for FEFC ® Eco Nylon 6,6 Air Bag Recycled (N6.6 Air Bag Recycled) is jointly developed by Far Eastern Fibertech and Everest Textile, utilizing the vertically integrated resource advantages within Far Eastern Group to promote the progress of nylon 6,6 recycled materials in the field of clothing applications.In addition, Far Eastern New Century Corporation has officially released TOPGREEN on TITAS ® Plant fiber yarn is made by blending hemp and pineapple fibers with cotton and other environmentally friendly fibers, injecting diverse materials into green fashion, expanding application possibilities, and helping brands achieve sustainable goals for new generation products.
It is worth mentioning Far Eastern Apparel's "Circular Imitation Wool Suit", which is made of upgraded recycled polyester fabric and has a delicate feel and stiffness similar to traditional blended wool. It breaks through the stereotype that recycled fabrics tend to be plastic like, allowing wearers to present a professional image while also conveying sustainable value.
Sustainable solution for resource regeneration
 In addition to innovating in clothing fabrics, Far Eastern New Century Corporation has also successfully developed a recycled thermoplastic polyester elastomer (rTPEE Recycled Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer) made from recycled PET as raw material and chemically modified. It has excellent elasticity, cushioning, and resilience, and is particularly suitable for use as a foam for shoe midsoles, accelerating the shoe material industry towards high value and sustainability development. The first batch of midsoles have been successfully commercialized in 2025 and supplied to the modern sports lifestyle French brand SALOMON. They are used in the iconic high-performance upstream shoe model Solamphibian, achieving a "single material, full cycle" design.The FENC displayed in the Innovation (R&D) section on the left side of the entrance, opposite the main stage ® TOPGREEN ® AirTek PU technology can convert industrial captured CO ₂ into high-performance elastic materials, which are widely used in shoe materials, elastic fibers, waterproof breathable films, and artificial leather. It has won the 2025 German "Carbon Dioxide Utilization Innovation Award". At the same time, Far Eastern New Century Corporation has also partnered with French biotechnology company CARBIOS to use bioremediation technology to transform complex PET waste into high-quality polyester fibers, creating high-quality T-shirts.
The Topgreen Sustainable Solution section next to it showcases TOPGREEN ® RTEX Filament fabric is made by recycling polyester fibers from waste polyester textiles and processing them through a series of environmentally friendly processes such as crushing, melt granulation, spinning, and false twisting; As for FENC ® TopGreen ® The Recycling Solution is a 3R strategy of "Recycle, Replace, and Reduce" to create a recycled economy and low-carbon competitiveness. In addition, Far Eastern New Century Corporation and BenQ Materials have jointly developed an innovative recycling technology called "e2cycle", which can convert PET electronic waste in the electronics industry into high-quality recycled materials, and then produce high-performance fabrics for Xpore brand to supply global fashion and outdoor brands, opening a new chapter in the upgrading and recycling of electronic waste.

 Low carbon products are close to people's livelihoodsFacing the international automotive supply chain market, Far Eastern New Century Corporation actively promotes sustainable low-carbon products and green processes, providing low-carbon solutions for industries such as tires, airbags, and conveyor belts through advanced materials such as fluorine free hydrophobic yarns and TPU high adhesion yarns, as well as environmentally friendly RF free impregnation processes without hydroquinone and formalin.
