TYC × Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI) joins forces with the design industry for an immersive journey into the world of recycled plastics.

To foster dialogue and collaboration between industry and the design sector on sustainable material innovation, TYC was honored to host the "Material Innovation Site Visit Delegation" organized by TDRI. The delegation brought together leaders from brand design, green construction, and the circular economy to explore our R&D and production sites, and to discover the possibilities of sustainable product development.
