Taiwan’s TCI opens new eco-factory for facial masks

Taiwan-based contract manufacturer TCI has opened eco-factory S11 at an agriculture and biotechnology park.

Aimed to increase the production of facial sheet masks, this eco-friendly, three-storey building features an underground water infiltration system, rooftop solar panels, greenhouses, and bamboo walls to decrease temperatures and energy costs.

S11 is equipped with industrial pumps that act as heat transporters in both cooling and heating modes. These provide an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air-conditioners.

The firm has adopted reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, electrodeionisation (EDI) stacks, and ultrafiltration (UF) devices to obtain water that is free of toxins, pollutants, and microbes for use in cosmetics.

TCI chairman Vincent Lin said: "Although the environment continues to deteriorate in many parts of the world, we still have the choice to make the world more beautiful.

“We can all help reduce the impact of this alarming trend and ensure environmental sustainability, one facial-care treatment at a time.”

Fully-automated production lines have been installed in the building to ensure optimal, stable, and high-quality facial masks production with decreased labour costs as only two people will be required to operate at the factory's maximum capacity.

In addition, S11 includes a library with more than 50,000 nutraceutical and cosmeceutical books, digital resources, media, and archival materials.

TCI provides a variety of solutions such as concept design, manufacturing, materials, and production techniques across skincare, dietary supplements, and functional drinks sectors.
