♻️【From the Recycling Frontline to the Design World｜TYC Shares Circular Insights at Taiwan Design Research Institute】

We were honored to be invited by the Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI) to deliver a keynote presentation,

joining fellow innovators in product design, brand strategy, and materials R&D

to explore how sustainable materials can move from recycling, into design, and back to the market.

🔍 Starting with the “Cradle to Cradle” concept, we shared:

• Practical challenges and solutions in achieving mono-materiality
• How modular and easily disassembled designs improve recyclability
• Ways recycled plastics are entering the realms of aesthetics and branding to create desirable sustainability

🌿 TYC also showcased several circular product cases, including:

• A tool kit made from marine waste
• An inner-loop reusable bag co-developed with Homemakers’ Union
• Our most recent circular economy proposal in development

🧠 What we believe:

Circular economy cannot rely solely on recyclers working in isolation.

True design power comes from partners willing to engage with the material realities — to collaborate, adapt, and improve.

📢 We welcome more designers and brand leaders to join us.

Let’s make “design for recyclability” a vision we can truly realize.
