Recently, climate change has initiated a worldwide consensus on carbon emission reduction. Reaching net-zero by 2050 is an expected goal.

In 2023, the European Union (EU) plans to levy the carbon border tax to accelerate the green economy. Thus, a growing number of companies begin to list the carbon footprint in the supply chain and carbon emission performance as key indices for procurement. Taiwan, an export-oriented country, shall accommodate the trend timely to avoid losing competitive business opportunities in future.

The Upcoming Net-Zero Era

Carbon footprint denotes the amount of carbon emissions in the life cycle of production, launch, sale, and recycling. The majority of countries and Taiwan have evolved systematic management in succession to effectively diminish carbon emissions. The carbon footprint of products apparently becomes a crucial tool for net-zero realization and also a new medium with consumers.

Since MAG's establishment in 2001, we have been applying ourselves as a leading company to invent green products and replace Taiwan’s PVC (the poison plastic) market. MAG's PLA film, PET film, iridescent film, HEPA meltblown, hydrophobic spunbond, plastic wire, earloop and face shield are proudly certified by SGS, ROHS, REACH, etc.

In addition to designing eco-friendly and human-friendly plastic products, MAG purchases professional machines to holistically enlarge recycling technology, provide green materials to manufacturers, and minimize carbon emissions and the usage of fossil fuels to achieve entrepreneurial sustainability.

Sustainability

After the pandemic outbreak, the percentage of plastic pollution is rising annually. Plastic waste disposal is not fast enough than the continual need for plastic products. Furthermore, about 85% of the trash found in oceans and on beaches is plastic, mostly medical waste. Therefore, tackling medical waste is a current environmental issue and increases public awareness.

As a global supplier of plastic raw materials, we have an accountability to develop biodegradable, recycled and reusable products. Sustainability is no longer just a slogan, and we should put it into practice immediately. MAG's substantial surge of performance is seen as the greatest contribution to Earth protection.
