BenQ Materials, a global leader in material science and innovative applications, once again stands out among its peers by winning the prestigious Gold Award at the 32nd Taiwan Excellence. This year’s entry, the "Xpore Waterproof Breathable Ocean Waste Recycled Yarn Functional Fabric," represents not just a technological breakthrough but also carries our commitment to environmental sustainability.

 

Genesis of the Product

The ocean is a vital component of the Earth’s ecosystem. However, the problem of marine waste, especially from fishing equipment like nets and hooks, is becoming increasingly severe. Annually, the marine fishery alone generates a significant amount of waste, posing a serious threat to the environment, recognized as one of the global crises by the United Nations. This challenge inspired the innovative spirit of Xpore. Our goal is not only to address this issue but also to contribute to the environment in an innovative way.

 

A Perfect Fusion of Environmental Responsibility and Technology

The nominated product is an excellent integration of environmental care and technological innovation. Based on marine nylon material, it ingeniously utilizes ocean nylon recycled from abandoned fishing nets, transforming waste into recycled yarn and significantly reducing the carbon footprint of raw material extraction. By employing bio-based, fluorine-free water repellent technology combined with the "Xpore Eco-friendly Micro-Porous Membrane" technology in a solvent-free production process, we substantially lessen the environmental impact, demonstrating a low carbon footprint and a firm commitment to sustainable development.

 

Green Innovation, Superior Functionality

This product is completely free from perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), offering exceptional waterproofing and windproof capabilities. Its outstanding breathability, lightweight, quick-dry features, eco-friendliness, and non-toxicity ensure the ultimate comfort for the user. This aligns with Xpore’s core philosophy of providing consumers with innovative waterproof technology and functional products to enhance the enjoyment and safety of outdoor activities.
